Abstract

In last six decades political analysts, scholars and statesmen have mainly analyzed and focused on the political dimensions of the Kashmir problem. However, unfortunately much important economic dimensions of the problem have received less attention or have been somewhat deliberately neglected. Intra-Kashmir Trade or cross-LoC trade explores such economic dimensions and address the lack of economic content in thinking on Kashmir. This article reviews the historical significance, potential sectors and routes of trade through an extensive review of secondary evidence. It also explores the potential for, and obstacles to, Intra-Kashmir Trade and makes an attempt to analyze its economic and political logic for state, its augmented potential of growth. Furthermore, the amplified gravity model aiming to analyze Intra-Kashmir Trade empirically is also used. Given the analysis of trade data and other figures it is likely that Intra-Kashmir Trade would have a significant effect on political and economic aspects and will be beneficial for both sides of the region.
