Some news agencies report that both India and Pakistan want to rule the entire Kashmir territory, a valuable resource for agriculture and mining.
I've never understood why India refuses to talk at a negotiating table with Pakistan to divide the territory between those who are Muslim and wanting to unite with Pakistan from the rest of Kashmir. Until that time, there will continue to be strife in that region and ominous moves on both sides to seek remedy on the battlefield. Both sides--India now purchasing planes from France and Pakistan from China. There will be no lasting peace, if the two parties of India and Pakistan don't let the inhabitants of Kashmir coexist as separate and independent cultures by means of partitioning the territory.
My opinion: see what years of hostility between these two over Kashmir have netted. And, I don't believe Pakistan wants to take control of all of Kashmir.
