What percentage of Kashmir is under the control of India
A: 25 percent
B: 35 percent
C: 45 percent
D: 55 percent
Around 55 percent of Kashmir is under Indian control which includes Jammu the Kashmir Valley and Ladakh regions. India has maintained strong military presence in these areas since independence. The large control of territory by India is one of the major reasons for ongoing conflict with Pakistan and resentment among the local population. The rest of Kashmir is divided between Pakistan and China. The issue remains on the agenda of the United Nations as an unresolved dispute. Therefore the correct answer is option D which is 55 percent under Indian control.
