Kashmir was 'leased' for 60 years by the British, to strengthen the northern border of India, then when the British pulled out the Dogra King (Hari Singh) was given the option of becoming part of Pakistan or India, but instead wanted Kashmir to remain independent. Pakistani tribals, aided by Pakistani troops entered Kashmir to overthrow Singh, so as a defensive manouvre he ceded Kashmir to India, which was made official by the British in 1947.
So technically it's Indian territory - if one recognises the authority of the British Empire.

The region is divided among three countries in a bitter territorial dispute: Pakistan controls the northwest portion (Northern Areas and Azad Kashmir), India controls the central and southern portion (Jammu and Kashmir) and Ladakh, and the People's Republic of China controls the northeastern portion (Aksai Chin and the Trans-Karakoram Tract). India controls the majority of the Siachen Glacier (higher peaks), whereas Pakistan controls the lower peaks.

At present Kashmir is divided into 2 parts ... a small one managed by Pakistan and a larger portion controlled by India....Well this is a question to be asked to Kashmiris and they definitely want to Join Pakistan as they are fightind 7.5 million indian troops for the last 15 years
Actaully it was the cunning and idiot raja who at the time of independence opted for India against the wishes of the 90 % of his muslim subjects and from there the trouble beagn,,,

Kashmir belongs to India. some part of it is occupied by Pakistan where a puppet government is working on direction of Pakistan.
an important thing i would like to mention here is that a part of land of India can not go with Pakistan on basis of just religion.

Kashmir belongs to the country it itself wishes to accede to through an impartial plebisite under the UN.

Pakistan and India both claim it.
It's a worthless piece of real estate. They fight over it because they like to fight each other.
