India and Pakistan - Tensions Update

The roots of India and Pakistan conflict trace back to the partition of British India in 1947, which led to the creation of the two nations.
The princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, with a majority Muslim population but a Hindu ruler, became a contentious point.

The Maharaja’s decision to accede to India sparked the first Indo-Pakistani war.
Subsequent wars in 1965 and 1971, along with the 1999 Kargil conflict, have further entrenched hostilities.

The region remains divided, with both countries administering parts of Kashmir but claiming it in full.

Tensions have recently escalated following a deadly terrorist attack on April 22, 2025.
This attack happened in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir and 26 Hindu tourists were killed.

India attributed the attack to Pakistan-based militant groups, prompting a series of military actions:

Operation Sindoor:
On May 7, India launched air and missile strikes targeting alleged terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
India claimed the operation was a measured response aimed at dismantling militant networks.

The Pakistani military claimed to have shot down several Indian aircraft and vowed retaliation.

Diplomatic Fallout:
Both nations have taken reciprocal diplomatic measures, including the expulsion of diplomats, suspension of visas, and closure of border crossings.
India also announced the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, affecting water-sharing arrangements.
