Not ALL of Kashmir is part of the nation calling itself "India". Some of it (78,000 sq.km. is part of the nation calling itself "Pakistan". Then there are the parts currently part of China (5,000 sq.km. contributed by Pakistan and 37,555 contributed by India itself) and Afghanistan (depending on who is drawing the lines).

Actually you are mixing up Kashmir withthe Indian state of JAmmus, Kashmir and Ladakh. The portion known as Kashmir is Indian with parts that were annexed by Pakistan in 1947. Ladakh was conquered in part by China during the 1962 war. Afghanistan has no claim on any part of Kashmir and doesn't touch Kashmir geographically.

The lands from India were not contributed, but "robbed"

Tibet existed as a separate nation state until 1949, so there was never a dispute about Tibet and India having overlapping claims to any territory

You think about it a moment and you will see that IF Tibet regains independence whatever force that might be is going to bring it into conflict with every single surrounding state, no matter what they are called!

Living here in a neighborhood with several people from different parts of Kashmir I learned quickly to always refer only to the geographic structure of the area and not to the geopolitical details.

As I said, it's far more complex than I described. No doubt it could get worse.
