History

Historical Context

The recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, echoes historical tensions between India and Pakistan, rooted in their 1947 partition. The Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 aimed to manage water disputes, but recent escalations, including India’s suspension of the treaty, highlight deteriorating relations. This incident recalls past conflicts, particularly the 2008 Mumbai attacks, which similarly intensified bilateral hostilities and regional instability.
