[edit] Possible bias

The section regarding the boundary dispute appears potentially biased, as it stresses a supposed injustice to India without really explaining the other side of things. 82.35.13.34 19:03, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Please explain the exact lines and I'll see what can be done to tone down the "supposed injustice", if any. --Idleguy 09:43, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] rm plagiarism

The roots of the conflict over Siachen lie in the non-demarcation of the cease-fire line on the map beyond a map coordinate known as NJ9842. The 1949 Karachi Agreement and the 1972 Simla Agreement presumed that it was not feasible for human habitation to survive north of NJ9842,

[edit] Pak side of things

I'll tell you what the Pak side of things must be. It will be that because Siachen is in Jammu and Kashmir and since Jammu and Kashmir is predominantly Muslim, hence Pakistan has claims over it. It doesn't matter that Pakistan occupied Jammu and Kashmir in 1948 claiming such rights and since then has been trying to further its gains inch by inch. Not being bigoted here but just stating a stark observation. Muslim policy even till today is occupy a piece of land, convert its inhabitants to Islam, and lay claims to it forever on grounds of religion. This is how Pakistan lays claims to Jammu and Kashmir, an erstwhile Hindu and Buddhist land, after much of its population was converted to Islam.

Ladhakh and Nubra Valley(on the same side of the watershed as the Glacier) where the snout of the Glacier is located is Budhist anyway so what is the basis of the claim??? just because Jammu and Kashmir was a political entity in 1947 that was predominatly muslim doesnot mean that the whole state could be forked over by Pakistan, Jammu and Ladakh regions would have been considered seperate entities, as were the non-muslim majority areas of Punjab and Bengal that were transferred to India. 2 April, 2006
