Pakistan, India Water Disputes, During 1947-1960 with Special Reference to Kashmir

Pakistan and India both got independence in 1947 and very first day of independence both of the countries blamed each other on several issues, the main issues became bone of contention between two countries were the water dispute and the issue of Kashmir. Both of the issues are inter linked with each other because almost all rivers which flow in to Pakistan comes from Kashmir, furthermore the State of Kashmir was deliberately given to India by the Boundary Commission in 1947. Kashmir has long frontiers with Pakistan while India has only one seasonal rout of Gurdaspur to Kashmir. Both of the issue though are related to each other so it is very important to look both issues in the light of Economics, politics and history to judge the importance of this issue for both countries.
