But focusing on the two countries can obscure what's really at stake:
但将目光集中在这两个国家身上会掩盖掉真正岌岌可危的：
The voice of Kashmiris who are caught in a vicious cycle of violence.

So it's important to start when they were being drawn.
所以，我们不妨从这些边境线划定之初开始说起。
In the mid-1800s, India was a patchwork of several hundred provinces and princely states under British rule.
19世纪中期的印度是由几百个处于英国统治之下的省份和土邦组成的。
A century later, when British India won independence, the British left and hastily decided to split the region into two.
一个世纪后，英属印度赢得了独立，英国人撤离印度，匆忙决定将该地区一分为二。
These areas would be a new Muslim-majority country, Pakistan.
这些地区将成为一个穆斯林占多数的新国家——巴基斯坦。
And this would be the mostly Hindu, but secular, India.
这些地区则成为一个印度教徒占多数的世俗国家——印度。
The partition was bloody.

Amid the chaos, some princely states were given the choice to join either country.
在混乱之中，一些土邦也被给予了加入印巴任何一个国家的选择。
In most cases, the ruling monarchs followed the will of their people.
大多数情况下，土邦的王公都会遵循人民的意愿。
But this state, called "Jammu & Kashmir" was different.
然而，这个叫“查谟和克什米尔”的土邦情况有些特殊。
It was right along this new border and had a Muslim-majority population, but was ruled by a Hindu monarch.
因为它就位于这条新边界之上，其人口以穆斯林为主，但统治这一土邦的王公是一名印度教徒。
When asked to pick a side, the ruler chose to stay neutral.
当被要求选择印度还是巴基斯坦时，这位王公选择了中立。
Fearing that the monarch would join India, the Kashmiri population rebelled here in 1947.
1947年，担心王公会加入印度的克什米尔人在这里发动了起义。
Armed tribesmen from Pakistan soon joined the fight.
很快，巴基斯坦部落成员也带着武器加入了战斗。
The monarch turned to India for military help and in exchange agreed to join them, which sparked the first Indo-Pakistan war in Kashmir.
王公便向印度寻求军事援助，作为条件，他同意了加入印度，由此引发了印巴两国在克什米尔的第一次战争。
Continuing wars increased the threat to world peace and brought the dispute to the attention of the United Nations.
“持续不断的战争不仅对世界和平构成了威胁，也让这一争端引起了联合国的注意。”
The UN Security Council brokered a ceasefire in 1949,
1949年，联合国安理会促成了两国的停火协议，
which established this line with Pakistan controlling this side and India this one.
划定了这条停火线，这一侧由巴方控制，这一侧则由印方控制。
It also asked Pakistani tribesmen to withdraw and Indian troops to follow,
还要求巴基斯坦部落的人撤出克什米尔，印度军队随后也要撤走，
so that Kashmir could hold a direct vote to decide its own future.
这样克什米尔就可以直接投票决定自己的未来。
But neither held up their end of the deal.
但双方都没有遵守协议内容。
Pakistan argued that Kashmir’s Muslim-majority population rightfully belonged with them.
巴基斯坦争辩说，占克什米尔人口多数的穆斯林人群理应归入巴基斯坦。
While India insisted that Kashmir was handed over to them by the Hindu monarch.
而印度则坚称克什米尔是由其印度教主公移交给他们的。
So they doubled down and added Kashmir to their constitution.
还趁热打铁，将克什米尔纳入了他们的宪法。
The vote was never held.
计划中的投票从未真正落实。
"I think every person in Kashimir has been affected by India and Pakistan."
