While I was in prison I made the acquaintance of two Indians, Muslims, who in turn introduced me to Bollywood films. Several of those films involved Kashmir.
I am more worried about WW III coming out of Kashmir than I am of Ukraine being its cause. Now, the Indians and the Pakistanis are shooting at one another.

The risk now is that more violence will revitalise the Kashmiri Jihad and encourage those who are looking for a fight. Kashmir has always been prominent in the Al-Qaeda list of grievances, and is often wrapped up with that of the Palestinian cause. It is an easier Jihad to join. Even if the current military escalation between India and Pakistan quietens down, it is important to remember that the drivers for radicalisation are as lively as ever. When it comes to Kashmir, Jihad is often a source of pride, part of a decades long struggle against India, and it has widespread tacit support.
