What is POK? What is the root of the fight between India and Pakistan?

What is POK?

Pakistan Occupied Kashmir is that part of the Jammu and Kashmir (India) which was invaded by the Pakistan in 1947.

~The POK is administratively divided into two parts, which are called Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan in official languages. 'Azad Jammu and Kashmir' in Pakistan is also called Azad Kashmir.

~The chief of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir is the President while the Prime Minister is the Chief Executive Officer supported by a Council of Ministers.

~Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK) claims its self-governing assembly, but the fact is that it works under the control of Pakistan.

Two parts of POK :

1. Azad Kashmir:It is attached to the western part of Indian Kashmir. As of 2011, Azad Kashmir's GDP was estimated at $3.2 billion. Historically the economy of Azad Kashmir has been dependent on agriculture. Low altitude areas have high populations grow crops like wheat, barley,corn (maize) mangoes, millet etc.

In the southern districts, many men have been recruited into the Pakistani Armed Forces. Other locals travel to countries in Europe or the Middle East where they work in labour-oriented jobs.

2. Northern Region:The Gilgit area was leased to the British government by the Maharaja of Kashmir. Baltistan was the area of west Ladakh province which was occupied by the Pakistan in 1947. This area is the part of the disputed Jammu and Kashmir region.

Based on the figures, it can be said that Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK) is in very poor condition. Pakistan is the ruler of this region but this region is not developed by the Pakistan deliberately so that the poor people of this region can be trapped to train as the terrorists and destabilise the India.

A part of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir's Hunza-Gilgit, the Shaksgam Valley,region of Raksam and Baltistan was handed over to China by Pakistan in 1963. This area is called a ceded area or Trans-Karakoram Tract.


What is the root of the fight between India and Pakistan?

In 1947, Pakistan's Pashtoon tribals attacked Jammu and Kashmir. So to tackle this critical situation the Ruler of that time Maharaja Hari Singh of Jammu and Kashmir sought military assistance from the Indian government and the then Indian Governor General Mountbatten signed an agreement on 26 October 1947signed in which three subjects Defense, Foreign Affairs and Communications were handed over to India. Except these subjects Jammu and Kashmir was free to all its decisions.

On the basis of this accession of treaty, the Government of India claims that India has the full right to interfere in the matters related to Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan on the other hand doesn’t agree with India.

What is the claim of the Pakistan?

Pakistan’s claim on Kashmir is based on the declaration of 1993. As per this declaration, Jammu & Kashmir was among those 5 states in which rule of Government of Pakistan was supposed to be established. But India never accepted this claim of Pakistan.

Why is the B+ blood group so common in India and not at all in other parts of the world?

Why is the B+ blood group so common in India and not at all in other parts of the world? India is a tropical country, hence the person living here is exposed to various types of diseases because in this climate the micro-organisms multiply and spread at a much faster rate. Blood group B is related to providing resistance against the diseases,hence the incidence of diseases would be much less in the people having the blood group B. Considering a hypothetical population that has equal number of people in all the blood groups, if there is an advent of a disease, there would be more casualties of the people of the blood group A,AB and O, whereas the people with the blood group B suffers less casualties as their blood group provides resistance.(Theory of natural selection). The survival for the fittest theory have worked years to select the population of India having more number of people of the blood group B. Source: Human Blood and Anthropology #rainbowz
