Q1. A foreign-policy skills item asks which problem became an overriding dispute between Pakistan under Jinnah and India almost immediately after independence. Which issue fits best?
Answer: Kashmir accession fighting and United Nations attention from early 1948
Explanation: The Maharaja of Kashmir's accession to India in October 1947 was disputed by Pakistan, leading to armed conflict and Pakistan's appeal to the United Nations in January 1948. The Kashmir dispute thus became the defining foreign-policy crisis of Jinnah's Governor-General period, with UN resolutions calling for a plebiscite that was never held.
