Kashmir has been a contentious region since the partition of British India in 1947.

The region is claimed in its entirety by both India and Pakistan, leading to decades of conflict.

Several wars have been fought over Kashmir, with both countries accusing each other of aggression.

The Line of Control, established after the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War, divides Kashmir into Indian-administered and Pakistan-administered regions.

Tensions remain high in the region, with regular skirmishes and cross-border firing between Indian and Pakistani forces.

The presence of militant groups in Kashmir further complicates the situation, with some seeking independence or merger with Pakistan.

India accuses Pakistan of supporting these militants, while Pakistan denies any involvement.

The issue of Kashmir remains a major point of contention in India-Pakistan relations, with both countries unwilling to back down on their claims.

The international community has called for dialogue and peaceful resolution of the Kashmir conflict to prevent further escalation.
