DESCRIPTION:About The Forum:\n------------------\nAfter 56 years of Indian 
 independence, Kashmir remains the long-standing unresolved dispute which 
 plagues\nthe subcontinent and has become the nuclear flashpoint, bleeding 
 the Kashmiris and the economy of both India and\nPakistan, driving them to 
 a mad arms race.\n\nThis forum will strive to present a balanced view on 
 the Kashmir 'problem' by taking a critical look at the role both India and 
 Pakistan have played in bringing the region\nto its current state. The 
 focus will not stray far from the plight of the people of Kashmir, of all 
 communities, who have borne the brunt of the fall-out from decisions being 
 made in Islamabad and New Delhi.\n\nThe speakers will also address possible 
 ways to resolve the seemingly intractable conflict in the region so that 
 the people\nof Kashmir, including those who have had to flee their homes 
 and become refugees in India and Pakistan, can start rebuilding 
 their\nlives in 
 peace.\n-----------------------------------------------\n\nTopic: A
