"Occupied"?[change source]

Hey crew, I fixed a few things in this article while I was translating it to en.wiki, and I think we might have gotten some bias in here.

In this edit an anon changed "Kashmir Valley" to "Indian occupied region of Kashmir." At first, I figured this meant "this goat only happens to live in the part of the Kashmir Valley that is controlled by India," but what if it meant "All of the Kashmir Valley rightfully belongs to Pakistan/someone else and India merely occupies it, also this goat lives there"? The India-Pakistan conflict is one of those marked-for-special-sanctions fights over on en.wiki.

Kashmir has been a disputed area for a long time, at least culturally. I've never studied the matter directly. If this is a standard and neutral way to refer to the region, then of course we should put the text back (with suitable sources to stop any fights), but for now I've changed it back to just "Kashmir Valley."
