Small Wars & Insurgencies Vol 19 No 1, March 2008, pp.27-45 (97)Summary: A widely held view of Pakistan's policy in Kashmir is that it is primarily enabling foreign insurgents to conduct operations in order to tie down a siginificant part of India's armed forces. This article suggests an alternative explanation based on the form of warfare that is traditional to the region, augmented by learned US insurgency doctrine of the 1960s and an historical disregard for subject populations. Notes that the approach has failed to achieve popular support among the local population for Kashmir to secede to Pakistan.
