Kashmir militancy

Kashmir militancy refers to insurgent activities and armed conflicts initiated by groups seeking greater independence or union with Pakistan, often opposing Indian administration in the region. The area has a complex history of political, religious, and territorial disputes, leading to violence and unrest since the late 1980s. Various militant groups have emerged, utilizing guerrilla tactics, targeted attacks, and insurgency to achieve their goals. This conflict has resulted in extensive loss of life, displacement, and ongoing tension between India and Pakistan, as well as within the local Kashmiri population. The issue remains unresolved, with efforts for peace continuing amid deep-rooted mistrust.
