India-Pakistan conflict
The India-Pakistan conflict primarily revolves around the region of Kashmir, which both countries claim and control parts of. Originally part of British India, Kashmir's status was divided after independence in 1947, leading to wars and ongoing disputes. Tensions are fueled by political sovereignty, religious differences (Muslim-majority Pakistan and Hindu-majority India), and security concerns. The conflict has resulted in military confrontations, militant activities, and diplomatic challenges, creating persistent instability in the region. Despite multiple efforts for peace, the dispute remains a core issue affecting regional stability and international relations.
