Question:

What was the resolution sought for the Kashmir conflict after the proxy war that started after the independence of both India and Pakistan?

Options:

Resolution by the Commonwealth countries

Resolution through bilateral negotiations

Referral to the United Nations

Military intervention by the United States

Correct Answer:

Referral to the United Nations

Explanation:

The conflict between India and Pakistan commenced shortly after Partition, primarily revolving around the Kashmir dispute. Following Partition in 1947, a proxy war ensued between the Indian and Pakistani armies in the Kashmir region. Despite the intensity of this conflict, it did not escalate into a full-scale war. In an attempt to find a resolution, the matter was brought before the United Nations. Notably, Pakistan's role in India's diplomatic interactions gained prominence, notably with the United States and subsequently with China.
