- Abstract
Absence of a common Kashmiri identity and future claims complicates the resolution efforts for the Kashmir conflict and thus deserves a close examination. An ethnic triangle in the state of Jammu and Kashmir between the regions of Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir prevents the emergence of a common Kashmirian identity. Furthermore, it is not possible to argue a common Kashmiri identity and future claims among the Muslims in the region of Kashmir. That's why; this study focuses on the reason of the absence of a common Kashmiri identity and future claim in the region of Kashmir and argues that religion is a separative factor rather than a unifying one among the Kashmiri Muslims and creates two distinct nationalisms: Secular and religious nationalism, which are encouraged further by the Indian and Pakistan policies.
