History

Historical Context

The recent ceasefire between India and Pakistan follows a brief but intense conflict sparked by India's "Operation Sindoor," launched on May 6, 2025, targeting militant infrastructure. This escalation echoes past tensions, notably the Kargil War in 1999 and the 2001 Parliament attack, both rooted in longstanding disputes over Kashmir and cross-border terrorism. The current ceasefire reflects ongoing efforts to manage these complex relations without external intervention.
