How the exam will ask it
प्रीलिम्स

मेन्स
GS-II (International Relations): Third-country references to Kashmir at multilateral forums such as the UNGA raise the question of how India defends its sovereignty position. India treats Jammu and Kashmir as an internal matter and rejects outside comment through firm MEA statements, while balancing ties with countries that hold differing views. Way forward: consistent diplomatic messaging, engagement with such states on trade and strategic interests, and building wider support in multilateral fora.
