India, one of the most important colonies of the British Empire which is known as the empire on which the sun never sets, was also the most important representative and perhaps even the trigger of this process. The Republic of India (hereafter referred to as India) which gained independence from Britain in 1947, also witnessed the birth of another state from its territory. The newly established state of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (hereinafter referred to as Pakistan) has maintained a high-tension relationship with India since the foundation. The main cause of this tension has been the dispute over the Jammu and Kashmir region. The controversial region has again become a conflictual geography with the decision of the Indian Parliament on the 5th of August 2019. By this, the autonomous status of the J&amp;K was abolished and Pakistan and India came to the edge of confrontation. The measures and precautions of the Indian government regarding the region has increased the tension not only in J&amp;K but also in India and in Pakistan. This study tries to analyze the Kashmir dispute in line with the recent developments and how the issue effects the regional political dynamics. In the first part of the paper; there will be a short history of the dispute, the claims of the parties, and the place of this dispute in the international system. In the second part, the current situation will be tried to investigate from the foreign policy and regional policies aspect. The general conclusion of the author is that the recent decision on autonomy of Kashmir will have cumulative negative impacts on the stability of the region in coming years.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>После Второй мировой войны положение Великобритании несколько пошатнулось на международной арене, что повлияло на расширение борьбы за независимость и начало процесса деколонизации. Индия, одна из самых важных колоний Британской империи, была также самым важным представителем и, возможно, даже инициатором этого процесса. Индия получила независимость от Великобритании в 1947 году и была разделена на два государства: Республику Индия и Исламскую республику Пакистан. С момента основания этих государств между ними сложились крайне напряженные отношения. Главной причиной этой напряженности стал спор вокруг провинций Джамму и Кашмир. Спорный регион вновь стал зоной конфликта в связи с решением парламента Индии от 5 августа 2019 года: был упразднен автономный статус Джамму и Кашмира, а Пакистан и Индия оказались на грани конфронтации. Меры индийского правительства усилили напряженность не только в Джамму и Кашмире, но и в Индии и Пакистане в целом. В настоящем исследовании делается попытка проанализировать спор о Кашмире в соответствии с последними событиями и тем, как этот вопрос влияет на политическую ситуацию в регионе Южной Азии. В первой части статьи будет представлена краткая история конфликта, требования сторон и место этого конфликта в системе международных отношений. Во второй части будет предпринята попытка исследовать нынешнюю ситуацию с точки зрения региональной политики Индии и Пакистана. Общий вывод автора состоит в том, что недавнее решение об автономии Кашмира будет иметь кумулятивные негативные последствия для стабильности региона в ближайшие годы.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Jammu and Kashmir</kwd><kwd>India</kwd><kwd>Pakistan</kwd><kwd>autonomous status</kwd><kwd>political stability</kwd><kwd>South Asia</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Джамму и Кашмир</kwd><kwd>Индия</kwd><kwd>Пакистан</kwd><kwd>автономный статус</kwd><kwd>политическая стабильность</kwd><kwd>Южная Азия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Bose Sumantra.
