Jammu and Kashmir dispute

The Jammu and Kashmir dispute is a long-standing conflict between India and Pakistan over the region of Jammu and Kashmir. Historically, the area was a princely state that chose to join India in 1947, but Pakistan claims parts of it, leading to military conflicts and ongoing tension. The territory is divided, with India controlling most of it, including Jammu, Kashmir Valley, and Ladakh, while Pakistan controls parts called Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. The dispute involves issues of sovereignty, national identity, and governance, and has led to multiple wars, violence, and diplomatic efforts to find a resolution.
