Asked in a 1972 paperModerate

The dispute of Siachen arose over differing interpretations:

Correct answer: C. Both of these

  • A. of a provision of the 1949 ceasefire
  • B. subsequent 1972 Shimla agreement that left a portion of ceasefire line in Kashmir unidentified
  • C. Both of these
  • D. none of these

Explanation

The 1949 Karachi Agreement left the boundary beyond NJ 9842 unclear, while the 1972 Shimla Agreement converted the ceasefire line into the Line of Control without settling that northern section. Both agreements therefore contributed to the competing interpretations.
