The Problem regarding the disputed region of Jammu and Kashmir has recently provoked a possible nuclear war between India and Pakistan. The problem was originated in 1947 and there is no sign that it will be resolved given the rigid stand taken by both India and Pakistan. An out-of-box solution is urgently needed. Religion is the key to the problem just like the former Yugoslavia and Kosovo. The view of Pakistan and the Separatists in Kashmir is that India disregarded the UN resolution of plebiscite on Kashmir and the right of the self-determination of the people of Kashmir, which according to the Pakistan are all Muslims. Different proposals put forward by the Western countries are analysed and a new proposal, which takes into account the religious differences, to solve the problem once for all is suggested.
