Which region's territory is disputed between Pakistani Muslims and Indian Hindus?

• A. Punjab
• B. Sindh
• C. Kashmir
• D. Gujarat

Answer: (C)

The region being tested is Kashmir, because after the 1947 partition of British India, this area became the flashpoint where India and Pakistan laid competing claims to sovereignty. When the ruler of Kashmir chose to join India, Pakistan invasions and wars followed, leading to a ceasefire and a line of control that divides the territory between the two nations. Today, parts of Kashmir are administered by India and parts by Pakistan, and the dispute over who should control the region remains unresolved, making it the focal point of cross-border tension between Pakistani Muslims and Indian Hindus. The other options are Indian states or Pakistani provinces that are not the central disputed territory in this Indo-Pak context.
