Kašmir

Kašmir (Kašmirski: कॅशीर, کٔشِیر, Urdu کشمیر; Hindski: कश्मीर) je najsjevernija geografska regija Indijskog potkontinenta. Do sredine 19. vijeka, izraz "Kašmir" označavao je samo Kašmirsku dolinu između planinskog lanca Velikih Himalaja i Pir Pandžalskog područja. Danas ovaj naziv označava veću oblast koja obuhvata područje Džammu i Kašmir pod indijskom upravom (podijeljenih na Džammu, Kašmirska dolina i Ladhak), te pakistanske teritorije Azad Kašmir i Gilgit-Baltistan kao i teritorije pod upravom Kine, Aksai Chin i Shaksgam doline.^[1]^[2]^[3]

U prvoj polovini 1. milenijuma, regija Kašmir je postala važno središte hinduizma, a kasnije i budizma. Nešto kasnije u 9. vijeku, nastao je Kašmirski šaivizam.^[4] Godine 1339. Šah Mir je postao prvi muslimanski vladar u Kašmiru, inaugurirajući Salatin-i-Kašmir ili Šah Mir dinastiju. Kašmir je bio dio Mogulskog Carstva od 1586. do 1751. godine, i nakon toga, sve do 1820. godine, afganistanskog Duranskog Carstva. Te godine su Sikhi, pod komandom Ranjit Singa, pripojili Kašmir. Godine 1846, nakon poraza Sikha u prvom anglo-sikhskom ratu i nakon kupovine ovog područja od Britanaca po ugovoru iz Amritsara, Raja (vladar) iz Džammua, Gulab Sing, postao je novi vladar Kašmira. Vladavina njegovih potomaka, pod okriljem britanske krune, trajala je sve do podjele Indije 1947. godine, kada je bivša kneževska država Britanske Indije prisvajana od strane Pakistana i Indije.

Od 1947. godine, veći dio područja Jammu i Kašmira bio je upleten u teritorijalni spor između Indije, Pakistana i Kine - s Indijom koja kontrolira oko 43% kopnene površine regije i 70% njenog stanovništva. Pakistan kontroliše oko 37% zemljišta, dok Kina preostalih 20%.^[1]^[2]^[5] Kašmir se smatra najvećim militarizovanim područjem na svijetu - region je bio svjedok triju velikih ratova između Indije i Pakistana, te još jednog ograničenog rata između Indije i Kine, brojnih pograničnih sukoba, visokog planinskog ratovanja tokom siachenskog konflikta, tekuće pobune u Jammu i Kašmiru, te egzodusa Hindusa iz Kašmira i unutrašnjih civilnih nemira.^[6]
