Why is Kashmir disputed?

According to Google maps: there’s no definite border (indicated by dashed lines) between the Kashmir region (of India) in which they claim the entire region but both China & Pakistan argue against India’s claim.

Plenty of places are disputed because they have natural resources or sit in strategically interesting locations. But plenty of other place have nothing special to offer and are just disputed for stupid nationalist reasons. Kashmir is one of the latter. As always, the ones who suffer from the nationalist nonsense are the everyday Kashmiris trying to live a normal life.
