Jammu and Kashmir is a region administered by India as a union territory and consists of the southern portion of the larger Kashmir region, which has been the subject of a dispute between India and Pakistan since 1947 and between India and China since 1959.[1]
Jammu and Kashmir is named after the two regions it encompasses – the Jammu region and the Kashmir Valley. As per Government of India, Kashmir region encompasses the region under Indian control and the territory under Pakistani control known as "Pakistani-occupied Kashmir" (POK). While Pakistan considers the Indian controlled territory as a part of "Indian-occupied Kashmir" (IOK), neutral sources use "Indian-administered Kashmir"/"Pakistani-administered Kashmir" and "Indian-controlled Kashmir"/"Pakistani-controlled Kashmir" to demarcate the areas.[2]
Jammu and Kashmir, formerly one of the largest princely states of India, is bounded to the east by the Indian union territory of Ladakh, to the south by the Indian states of Himachal Pradesh and Punjab, to the southwest by Pakistan, to the northwest by the Pakistani-administered portion of Kashmir and to the northeast by Aksai Chin, the Chinese-administered region. The administrative capitals are Srinagar in summer and Jammu in winter.[3]
