Kashmir conflict between Pakistan and India has been a source of severe conflict between the two states throughout the post-independence history of sub- continent. Both the states have extremely divergent perspectives regarding ownership of Kashmir with stringent standpoints. The claims have gained intensity to the extent that they have become the symbols of national prestige and none of the disputant parties can roll back its claim even having recognized the facts on ground. Despite 68 years have passed since the independence, the dispute seems not to be resolved in the near future. The stagnancy regarding dispute over Kashmir has several drawbacks that have halted the potential regional developments and both the states are suffering a lot in every field of life including socio-politico-economic as well as in international relations. The study suggests that the Kashmir conflict can be dealt at its best by adopting ‘Conflict Management’ technique based on ‘Collaborative’ approach of conflict resolution, which may further create opportunities for the ultimate resolution of the dispute. How to manage the Kashmir conflict is a big question. The study has provided an innovative idea of creating Loose Confederation of Jammu & Kashmir territories across the line of control, which can be a feasible option that can at least provide opportunities for the socio-politico-economic development of the people of Kashmir while not compromising the stringent viewpoints of both India and Pakistan. By adopting the conflict management technique based on collaborative approach, the socio-economic development can be assured at least, which may contribute to reduce the burden of hostile history over the natives at its minimum.
