The Indo-Pakistani border is the international boundary between India and Pakistan, established after the partition of British India in 1947. It stretches approximately 3,323 kilometers (2,065 miles) and runs from the northern region of Kashmir to the southern state of Gujarat. The border is marked by various checkpoints and is heavily monitored due to ongoing tensions between the two countries. The border region is characterized by diverse landscapes, including deserts, plains, and mountainous areas. It is also home to several disputed territories, particularly in Kashmir, which has been a source of conflict since the partition. Both nations maintain military presence along the border to ensure security and manage cross-border issues.
