    As part of the ongoing IDSA research project on Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), a Round Table was organised at IDSA on August 19, 2010.The project report is based on the proceedings of this Round Table and, it also has significant inputs from the POK News Digest, IDSA’s monthly newsletter on developments in PoK. The report brings out key facts relating to the history of PoK and analyses the prevailing political situation in the region. The report aims to disseminate information on PoK, inform public opinion and create awareness on a crucial issue which has been largely ignored.
