Answer:
Post-independence, in 1947, tensions between India and Pakistan have been centred on Jammu & Kashmir, terrorism, and water disputes.
India and Pakistan are at odds:
- Because Pakistan was a part of India before its independence.
- Following independence, there have been disagreements between the two nations on terrorism and water.
- There have been and still are disagreements about Jammu and Kashmir.
- There have been a number of bilateral accords that failed to endure and were followed by assaults on the Indian parliament, Mumbai, and Pathankot.
Explanation:
1) Jammu & Kashmir
- The Kashmir Issue has been at the heart of the India-Pakistan Conflict.
- Maharaja Hari Singh, the Hindu monarch of Muslim-dominated Kashmir, dreamed of the Independent State of Kashmir when India was divided in 1947.
- However, partition riots occurred in Kashmir in September 1947, when Muslims were massacred in the western half of the state.
- Due to this, residents of this region rose up in rebellion against the Maharaja and established the Azad Kashmir Government.
- Sensing an opportunity, Pakistan moved its tribal soldiers into Kashmir, which were only fifteen miles from Srinagar, the state's capital. Maharaja contacted India for help after being alarmed by this intrusion.
- He was prompted to sign the Instrument of Accession to India by India. India welcomed the union of J & K to India when Maharaja Hari Singh signed it and Sheikh Abdullah, head of the National Conference of Kashmir, gave his consent.
- Finally, although Pakistan supplied military assistance to troops supporting the Azad Kashmir cause, India dispatched its army to Kashmir.
2) Water Disputes
- The partition of India even resulted in disagreements over the distribution of river flows.
- Nearly all of the rivers, including the Indus, Chenab, Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi, received their water from India. India cut down the flow of these rivers in 1948.
- After a disagreement, Nehru and Ayub Khan signed the Indus Water Treaty in 1960. Following this, India was to use the Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi waters, while Pakistan was to use the Jhelum, Chenab, and Indus waters.
- The boundary commission then attempted to resolve the border conflict. In 1965, there was a dispute over the Rann of Kutch after a Pakistani raid close to the border.
- India reported a disagreement to the UN. Pakistan attempted to enrage Kashmir because it saw this as a sign of India's vulnerability. Pakistan began stationing soldiers near the LOC on August 5, 1965.
3) Terrorism
- Approximately 1200 miles of Indian territory separated the two sections of Pakistan after the partition, when the East Wing of Bengal became East Pakistan.
- The military administration of Pakistan also paid little attention to East Pakistan, and Urdu was forced on it.
- The refusal of the position of premier to Sheikh Mujibur Rehman of East Bengal, whose party had won 160 out of 300 seats in the 1970 elections, was the immediate cause of strife.
- President Yahya Khan and Prime Minister Z. A. Bhutto of Pakistan rejected East Bengal's rights.
