"Kashmir - related conflict in the India-Pakistan-Bangladesh sub-continent is the most long-standing and outstanding unresolved conflict in the contemporary history. It is because of unwillingness from the leadership of both Pakistan and India to resolve it, on the basis of acceptable consensus from both the sides. The partition of Germany, Vietnam and Korea and had been the outcome of "ism"-based and system-based social, economic and political development ideology and process, during the last century's Second World War. But this sub-continent was divided on "two-nations" approach of Pakistan's creator M.A. Jinnah, based on religion: Hinduism and Islam and accepted by the Nehru-Patel dominated Congress Party of India. Gandhi, a non-violent fighter for secular India, had been a helpless spectator to it."
