The Kashmir dispute is a territorial conflict primarily between India and Pakistan, with China also claiming parts of the region. It began in 1947 when British India was partitioned into India and Pakistan. The princely state of Jammu and Kashmir chose to join India, leading to several wars and ongoing tensions over the region. The area is known for its stunning landscapes and cultural diversity, but it has been a flashpoint for violence and military confrontations. Both India and Pakistan administer parts of Kashmir, while China controls a smaller section. The dispute remains unresolved, affecting millions of lives.
