The subcontinent has a long history of tensions, territorial disputes, and conflicts between neighboring countries. Among these the relationship between India and Pakistan has been worse during the decades. Both countries have engaged in several wars, territorial disputes, and border firings over the years. Additionally, concerns have been raised over India’s actions in other neighboring countries, which some view as aggressive in nature.
The origins of India-Pakistan hostility can be traced back to the partition of British India in 1947, which led to the creation of two independent nations: India and Pakistan. The partition itself was accompanied by violence and communal strife by Hindus leading to widespread displacement and loss of life. Since then, both countries have fought four major wars (1947, 1965, 1971, and 1999), with several border incidents and crises in between. The primary bone of contention between India and Pakistan is the disputed region of Kashmir. India is not acting on the UN resolutions and is not giving the right of self determination to Kashmiris. This dispute has been the main cause of conflict between them. The situation in Kashmir remains volatile, with frequent aggression torture from Indian army.
Aside from its issues with Pakistan, concerns have been raised regarding India’s actions in neighboring countries like Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Critics and independent observers admit that India has many times exerted its influence in an overbearing manner, leading to diplomatic strains and regional tensions. One of the baseless and false allegations leveled against Pakistan by India is its alleged support for cross-border terrorism in India particularly in the region of Jammu and Kashmir. India contends that Pakistan-backed militant groups have carried out attacks in its territory causing loss of life and property. History and facts have always proved that these allegations and propaganda against Pakistan are baseless and false. India’s use of water resources shared with neighboring countries has also been a contentious issue. The Indus Waters Treaty signed between India and Pakistan in 1960 regulates the sharing of the Indus River’s waters and its tributaries. However, disputes have arisen over the years, with Pakistan raising concerns about India’s dam-building projects impacting downstream water flows. The aggression between India and Pakistan, along with concerns over India’s actions in neighboring countries, has implications for regional stability and development. The constant state of tension hinders economic growth, diverts resources to defense expenditures, and undermines efforts to address pressing issues such as poverty, healthcare, and education. The path to peace and stability in South Asia lies in constructive dialogue and diplomacy. Both India and Pakistan must recognize the futility of military confrontations and the importance of engaging in meaningful talks to address their differences. Track II diplomacy, involving non-governmental experts and intellectuals, can also play a crucial role in building bridges and finding common ground. The international community, including major powers and regional organizations, should actively encourage and support peaceful resolutions to conflicts in South Asia. Diplomatic interventions, mediation efforts, and confidence-building measures can be instrumental in easing tensions and promoting lasting peace.
The history of Indian aggression on Pakistan and neighboring countries is a complex narrative shaped by decades of unresolved issues, territorial disputes, and mistrust. While concerns about India’s actions in the region are are very important to be addressed and resovles. Constructive dialogue, diplomacy, and the collective will of the international community are crucial in forging a path towards peace, stability, and prosperity for the entire South Asian region. Also India needs to act on the UN regulations and all treaties. World should force India to stop Human Rights violations against Muslims and other minorities in Kashmir and its provinces.
The actions and statements from Indian leadership have always been aggressive and have been clearly showing their intentions to raise tension among the two neighboring countries. Recently, The Times of India reported that while addressing a Kargil War Memorial in Ladakh, Rajnath said: “India is a peace-loving nation which believes in its centuries-old values and is committed towards international laws, but to safeguard our interests, we will not hesitate in crossing the LoC.” The Indian defense minister added that India would go to any “extreme” to maintain its honour and dignity, “if that includes crossing the LoC, we are ready to do that. If we are provoked and if the need arises, we will cross the LoC”.
Pakistan condemned the “provocative remarks” made by India’s Defense Minister Rajnath Singh – “boasting readiness to cross the Line of Control” – and counseled “India to exercise utmost caution”. Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch condemned Rajnath’s remarks, saying: “We counsel India to exercise utmost caution as its belligerent rhetoric is a threat to the regional peace and stability, and contributes to destabilizing the strategic environment in South Asia.” The spokesperson said, “This is not the first time that India’s political leaders and senior military officers have made highly irresponsible remarks about Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. This kind of jingoistic statements must stop.” Mumtaz said, “The Indian leadership is reminded that Pakistan is fully capable of defending itself against any aggression.” She emphasized that the practice of dragging Pakistan into India’s populist public discourse, with a view to stoking hyper-nationalism and reaping electoral gains, needed to end. “Everything from history to law and from morality to the situation on the ground belies India’s claims about Jammu and Kashmir, which is an internationally recognized disputed territory,” she said, adding that the relevant UN Security Council resolutions stipulated that the final disposition of the territory would be made in accordance with the will of the people expressed through the democratic method of a free and impartial plebiscite conducted under the auspices of the United Nations. She said India to be well-advised to faithfully implement these resolutions, rather than entertaining any notions of grandeur.
Readers, Indian Minister should know that they just live in their dreams. We got Azad Jammu Kashmir from them and on our wish there is a LOC, we will definitely cross it and make an international border across Dehli neighboring Bangladesh Insha Allah. India should not forget that when they last time crossed LOC they lost 1x Su-30MKI, 1x Mig-21 Bison, shot down their own Mi-17 Helicopter with their own Air Defense System and got their Mirage-2K jammed along with all other IAF assets. India should refrain from such cheap attempts and should keep in mind the lessons from the history of past. India should look at their own country first. Look at the Human Rights violations across your country. The situation in Kashmir, Manipur and Asam etc is in front of whole world. Even Indian people celebrate their independence day as black day which is a slap on the face of a so-called largest democracy of the world.Then look at the deteriorating poverty index of your country. First look at your own home then talk about us. Pakistan and Pak Army are fully prepared to tackle any nefarious attempt and are determined not only to secure each and every inch of the country but are ready to take the war to your land.
