This note aims to highlight the
rechristened model that can be the basis of effective safeguards against the
unending conundrum of the Kashmir issue. Although the current paradox can be
assessed as per the conflict theory where different factors are looked at in
tandem. In Kashmir, the Centre of conflict is the people of Kashmir and an
abstract Centre of conflict is the people’s cry for self-determination or
independence. Therefore holding the entire population against their own wishes
highlights the failure of the international legal frameworks and
non-fulfillment of the conventions that are quintessential to establish a
constitutive view of the right to self- determination. Even though, none of the
parameters are conclusive in its own understanding of solving the issue but a
more nuanced approach which is reactive and made participatory by the
international communities can go a long way in fighting this unending
stalemate.
