I watched CNBCTV18's India Tonight show with Karan Thapar and Ram, in which the discussion led to an interesting hypotheses: that the division of Pakistan into two by India further aggravated the Kashmir issue, as Pakistan intellectual elite believed that separating Kashmir from India would be a fitting response.
I had never heard of this before. What do you think?
