The historical roots of the Kashmir conflict
Article Abstract:
The Indian-Pakistan conflict in Kashmir have its roots dating way back in early history. Pakistan has constantly asserted, under article 12 of the UN Charter, that the Kashmiris have the right towards self-determination. India, for its part, has accused Pakistan of instigating rebellion thereby challengingthe country's territorial integrity. To solve the present Kashmir conflict, many believe that the Kashmiris must choose if they want to stay under India's rule or if they wish to be included in a Muslim Pakistani-held Kashmir.

India and Sri Lanka: a fatal convergence
Article Abstract:
Astudy on Indo-Sri Lankan relations during the 1980s is presented. The Sri Lankan civil war had attracted India's attention due to two historical developments, namely, the presence of an infuential Sinhala identity and a largely interventionist Indian foreign policy aimed at promoting regional hegemony. The two developments have relentlessly brought a convergence along the Palk Straits which have led to widespread conflicts in the Indian subcontinent.
