INDIA-KASHMIR-PAKISTAN-SIACHEN
A Kashmiri woman rows a boat in the dal lake, carrying grass to feed cattle, on a windy and rainy day in Srinagar on May 11, 2012. Pakistan said that it would host the next round of talks with India over the disputed Siachen Glacier on June 11/12 in Islamabad. Troops from India and Pakistan have faced off on the glacier, high in the mountains of disputed Kashmir, since the 1980's but calls for the stand-off to end have been growing after an avalanche on April 7 which buried 140 people at a Pakistani army camp. Washington believes rapprochement between arch-rivals India and Pakistan can help ease regional tensions over Afghanistan as US combat troops prepare to leave in 2014.Relations between India and Pakistan, which have fought three wars since the subcontinent was partitioned in 1947, have been plagued by border and resource disputes, and accusations of Pakistani militant activity against India.The mountainous, Muslim-majority region of Kashmir was split in two in the aftermath of independence on the subcontinent when British rule ended in 1947.
