All roads lead to Gilgit-Baltistan: Indo-Pak tensions and what it could mean
Op IndiaThings have been heating up at the border, to put it mildly. If India does not share a land border of 106 km with Afghanistan today, it is because of Pakistan’s illegal occupation of this historical part of the state of Jammu and Kashmir since 1948,” Rajnath Singh said in a keynote address at a conference on Afghanistan held at the Capitol Hill. Gilgit-Baltistan is situated between the mountain ranges of the Hindu Kush and borders Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan; Xinjiang Province of China, Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan occupied Kashmir and Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir. India’s own ties with China have high economic stakes involved and both are keen to keep the borders calm.” Thus, it’s no wonder that Pakistan is being hammered both at the LoC and international forums. And right now, if India’s strategic interest is the reclamation of Gilgit-Baltistan, China may well not be in a position to do much about it given the current equations in the global world order.
