The Kashmir Conflict is a territorial dispute primarily between India and Pakistan, both of which claim the region of Jammu and Kashmir. The conflict began in 1947 when British India was partitioned into India and Pakistan, leading to violence and mass migrations. The princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, which had a majority Muslim population, initially chose to remain independent but later acceded to India, sparking military confrontations. Over the years, the conflict has led to several wars and ongoing tensions, with both countries maintaining military presence in the region. The situation is further complicated by the involvement of China, which also claims parts of the territory. Efforts for peaceful resolution have been made, but a lasting solution remains elusive.
