Both India and Pakistan believe possession of Kashmir is integral to their self-conceived notions of national identities—Pakistan views itself as a Muslim homeland in the subcontinent and Indians venerate their secularism and pluralism.
India has rejected international intervention in Kashmir because of its bitter, decades-old experience at the United Nations, when, in 1949, it asked the UN to censure the Pakistani invasion of Kashmir, and was rewarded with a resolution mandating what it believed to be an unfair plebiscite in the state.
