FILE ‚Äì In this March 6, 1990 file photo, Indian paramilitary soldiers take position in front of a closed shop in Srinagar, India. Clashes between protesters and Indian forces in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir in the summer of 2016 again highlight the challenge that the restive Himalayan region has posed for Indian policymakers ever since it was split between India and Pakistan shortly after the two archrivals gained independence in 1947. Political blunders, broken promises and a crackdown against dissent resulted in a full-blown armed rebellion against Indian control in 1989. Thousands of Kashmiris crossed over to Pakistani-controlled Kashmir for arms training, returned with guns and grenades, and joined the armed struggle against India for a united Kashmir, either under Pakistan rule or independent of both.
