This is CBS Eye on the World. Here's John Batchelor. I welcome my colleagues, Bill Rajo,

Senior Fellow Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, and Asana Connie, former ambassador from

Pakistan of the United States, now a senior

fellow at the Hudson Institute. And we go immediately to the backstory on the unhappiness between

Pakistan and India, that at present threatens much worse than frowns. This is about Kashmir, a beautiful land from the photographs and from the understanding that it is a

romantic place for tourism and people to view vistas of mountains and beautiful lakes.

But at the same time, is a victim of the partition by the British Empire once upon a time

between Pakistan and India, between the Muslims of India and the Hindus of India.

That partition led to million deaths maybe, that's an estimate.

And Kashmir emerged as part of the territory

that was not clearly demarcated to the satisfaction of both sides at the time. This is

4749, that period. And Kashmir, after that, was always seen as a threat to break out in dispute over whose territory is being encroached upon by the other.

There's Pakistan to the west, there's China to the east, the northeast, there's the Pakistani part of Kashmir to the north and the India part

of Kashmir to the south. However, there is no clear sovereign line between the India and

Pakistan part. Very mountainous, very difficult to maintain military force, however they do, all these decades.

The saying, I stopped there because I haven't explained why they're fighting over this

territory, why it became so important, this small piece of what had been the Raj, the vast

British Empire of India.

Why, is there an explanation for why men fight over territory that many people live on?

Good evening to you.

Good evening.

Let's begin by what actually happened in partition.
