Here is an overview of multiple conflicts between the two countries since their bloody score in 1947:
___
1947 – months after British India is part of Hindu India and a Muslim majority Pakistan, the two young nations fight their first war on the control of the Muslim majority, then a kingdom governed by a Hindu monarch. The war killed thousands of people before ending in 1948.
1949-A ceasefire line without interruption leaves the cashmere divided between India and Pakistan, with the promise of an unpredient vote which would allow the region of the region to decide whether to be part of Pakistan or India. This vote has never taken place.
1965 – The rivals fight their second war against cashmere. Thousands of people are killed in poorly conclusive fights before a ceasefire was negotiated by the Soviet Union and the United States. The negotiations in Tashkent took place until January 1966, ending in both sides by restoring the territories they seized during the war and withdrawing their armies.
1971 – India intervenes in a war against independence of East Pakistan, which ends with the territory which separates from the new country of Bangladesh. It is estimated that 3 million people are killed in the conflict.
1972-India and Pakistan signed a peace agreement, reversing the ceasefire line to cashmere as a control line, a strongly fortified section of the military outposts that divide the region between them. The two parties deploy more troops along the border, transforming it into a strongly fortified section of military outposts.
1989 – The dissidents of Kashmir, with the support of Pakistan, launch a bloody rebellion against Indian domination. Indian troops react with brutal measures, intensifying diplomatic and military skirmishes between New Delhi and Islamabad.
1999 – Pakistani soldiers and cashmirian fighters seize several Himalayan peaks on the Indian side of the territory. India responds with air bombings and artillery. At least 1,000 fighters are killed over 10 weeks and a worried world fears that fighting can degenerate into nuclear conflict. The United States ends up intervening, ending the fighting.
2016 – activists sneak up in a cashmere army base under Indian control, killing at least 18 soldiers. India reacts by sending special forces within the territory held by the Pakistanis, later claiming to have killed several suspicious rebels in “surgical strikes”. Pakistan denies that strikes take place, but this leads to days of major border skirmishes. Fighters and civilians on both sides are killed.
2019 – The two parties get closer to war again after a cashmere insurgency has sunk a car loaded with explosives on a bus carrying Indian soldiers, killing 40 years. India sends air strikes in the Pakistani territory, saying that it has struck a military training establishment. Pakistan then killed an Indian war plane and captures a pilot. He was then released, descending the tensions.
2025 – Activists attack Indian tourists in the Pehalgam seaside resort in the region and kill 26 men, most of the Hindus. India blames Pakistan for the attack, something that Islamabad denies and promises to take revenge on the attackers, sending tensions to their highest point since 2019. The two parties cancel the visas of citizens of the other, recall the diplomats, closed their only passage to the terrestrial border and close their aerial space to the other. New Delhi also suspends a crucial water sharing treaty with Islamabad.
