India and Pakistan, the two largest countries of the south East Asia and also the largest economies of the region are seen by the world as the arch-rivals. This problem started since 1947 when Pakistan was separated from India before getting independence from the British rule. Pakistan was created on the demand of Muslim organizations for a separate country for the Muslims because they feared that Muslims will be minorities in India and their demands and necessities will not be look after in the near future by the Indian govt. But the scene is that, today the Muslim population of India is greater than Pakistan and the standard of living of the India Muslims is also better than the Pakistani counterparts.
The main issue of conflict between India and Pakistan is the Kashmir issue. When India and Pakistan were divided, Kashmir was in hands of a Hindu ruler and Kashmir wanted to stay independent, so it neither went to Pakistan nor to India. But after partition Pak army and militants attacked Kashmir for annexation. So Raja Hari singh, the then ruler of Kashmir took help of India on an agreement with Indian Govt which have few conditions.
