What is POK? Simply part of Kashmir or Pakistan occupied Kashmir?
Why is there a conflict over this region?
The conflict dates back to 1947 when India gained independence from British colonial rule. At that time, the British Empire divided the Indian subcontinent into two countries, India and Pakistan. Kashmir was a princely state at the time, and its ruler faced a dilemma in deciding which country to join. Eventually, a temporary ceasefire line was agreed upon, which divided the region into Indian and Pakistani-administered territories, known as the Line of Control. However, both countries continue to claim the entire region.
