🇮🇳🇵🇰 INDIA-PAKISTAN CONFLICT: FROM PARTITION TO OPERATION SINDOOR

The India-Pakistan conflict began with the 1947 Partition, triggering the first war over Kashmir.

There are still deep wounds over the partition on both sides, contributing to generational pain, decades later.

A ceasefire in 1949 split the region but did not resolve its status.
Wars in 1965 and 1971 followed, the latter resulting in Bangladesh’s creation.

In 1999, Pakistan’s incursion across the Line of Control (LOC) sparked the Kargil War, the first after both nations became nuclear powers.

Tensions reignited after 2008’s Mumbai attacks, and again in 2016 and 2019 with deadly strikes in Uri and Pulwama.

India’s 2019 revocation of Kashmir’s autonomy under Article 370 fueled further unrest and crackdowns.

Violence surged in 2024, with attacks targeting Indian pilgrims and workers.
On April 22, 2025, militants killed 26 tourists in Kashmir. India blamed Pakistan, triggering “Operation Sindoor” on May 6—airstrikes across Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

With daily cross-border fire and diplomatic ties severed, both powers have always been on the brink.

🚨🇮🇳🇵🇰 MODI’S “WATER WARFARE” THREAT PRECEDED MILITARY STRIKES | PAKISTAN WARNED THIS IS “ACT OF WAR”

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared “water used to go outside, now it will flow for India” hours before launching military strikes against Pakistan—an ominous reference to Delhi’s suspension of the 65-year-old Indus Waters Treaty.

The treaty governs waters feeding 80% of Pakistan’s irrigated agriculture and its hydropower, with Islamabad previously warning that tampering with these rivers would constitute an “act of war.”

This water dispute dramatically raises the stakes beyond military confrontation, as both nations have now severed diplomatic ties, suspended bilateral trade, closed airspace to each other’s airlines, and expelled diplomats.

Experts warn that weaponizing water resources introduces an existential dimension to the conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbors.

🇮🇳🇵🇰 LoC TENSIONS FLARE AFTER INDIA’S STRIKES | ARTILLERY FIRE, CIVILIAN DEATH REPORTED

Following India’s strikes on 9 sites in Pakistan and PoK under Operation Sindoor, Pakistan responded with intense artillery fire across the LoC.

Heavy shelling was reported in Rajouri and Poonch districts—especially in Krishna Ghati, Shahpur, Mankote, Laam, and Tangdhar sectors.

A local woman is feared dead in Mankote; official confirmation is awaited.

The Indian Army said Pakistan violated the ceasefire agreement by firing in Bhimber Gali, and Indian forces are retaliating in a “calibrated manner.”

India earlier stated:

“Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted.”
