Historical Context

India's military operations against Pakistan have deep historical roots, stemming from the ongoing Kashmir conflict since 1947. Past wars, including those in 1947, 1965, and 1999, have shaped military strategies. The recent Operation Sindoor reflects a pattern of retaliatory strikes following terrorist attacks, similar to the 2019 Balakot airstrike, escalating tensions between these nuclear-armed neighbors.
