Since 1947 the Kashmir region has been the scene of violent tension between India, Pakistan and China for control over the area. For this reason a military demarcation line has been established, continuing to divide the areas controlled by India and Pakistan, despite the fact that it is not internationally recognised. It is a frontier that relentlessly separates the lives and fate of people, who are held hostage by cynical strategic interests.
