Border Region: India and Pakistan

border region: Violence flares often, as it did early in 2019 when a terrorist attack led to the most serious military escalation in more than a decade, according to The Independent. The repeated skirmishing plays out against a backdrop of superpower jockeying by China and the U.S.1. Long-running tension between India and Pakistan centers on the border region of Kashmir, an area in the Himalayas claimed in full -- and ruled in part -- by both. Why do India and Pakistan distrust each other The independent nations of India and Pakistan were created by the partition of British India in 1947, which was largely driven by religion Pakistan became primarily Muslim while India remained mostly Hindu. The two countries have fought three major wars since then, two of them over Kashmir. The drawing of new borders uprooted 14 million people and resulted in sectarian violence that killed as many as 1 million people. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
