Kalar Pani (Kalar Pani stream)

Kalar Pani, also known as Kalar Pani stream, refers to a contested area between India and Pakistan, specifically located in the region of Kashmir. The term "Kalar Pani" literally means "black water" in Punjabi and usually describes a small stream or body of water. The region's historical, political, and territorial disputes add complexity to its significance, as it symbolizes broader conflicts between the two nations. Control over such areas is often tied to national pride, security concerns, and geopolitical strategies, making Kalar Pani a point of contention in Indo-Pak relations.
