Why is Kashmera important to India and Pakistan?
Caxemira is one of the most dangerous points of conflict in the world. The mountainous region in its entirety by both India and Pakistan was the center of the violent regional conflict among the nuclear neighbors for more than 70 years.
The case caused three wars between countries and borders called the control line, dividing the region between New Delhi and Islamabad. Tensions between the Hindu majority of India and the Muslim majority of Pakistan have increased around the disputed region in recent years, after the Modi government canceled its constitutional independence in 2019, and placed it under direct control of New Delhi.
Although the Indian government stated that the series has decreased in the midst of a strong military presence, the attacks continue to strengthen the region, causing incitement and protests.
Meanwhile, there were strong media control and power outages in communications. Analysts say that the massacre on Tuesday destroyed the illusion of the calm that Modi designed around the region and raises questions about how such security failure occurred in one of the most military areas in the world.
How did you answer India and Pakistan?
India has publicly blamed any groups in the attack, but it justifies its revenge actions in response to “alleged support for terrorism through Pakistan.
Pakistan denied any involvement and summoned a national security meeting on Thursday to discuss the next steps.
Nova Delhi announced many punitive measures against Islamabad one day after the attack, including the closure of a major border traffic and greater restrictions on the limited limited person to Pakistani citizens.

The huge Indian river system, which supports contour in Pakistan and northern India, is established from Tibet, flowing through China and India -controlled fees before reaching Pakistan.
Fahd Humayoun, a professor of political science at the University of Tatz, said: “Reducing diplomatic relations and suspending the Indian Water Treaty are not good signs of stability in the region,” said Fahd Humayoun, a professor of political science at the University of Tats.
He added: “The comment is not only a violation of the international treaties obligations, but the right to water as a state on the banks of the lower river is seen as a national security issue by Pakistan and its comment will be explained as a warrior work.”
On Wednesday, Pakistani Energy Minister Owais Legari described a “war of war.” “Every drop is our right through the right, and we will defend it with full force – legal, political and global.”

Thousands of people went to the streets to condemn the deadly attacks, while entrepreneurs express their concerns about their influence on the famous tourist destination during the peak season. “There was 80-90 % of cancellation for all our flights and trips in the coming days and weeks,” said Mohsen, who uses one name and runs a tourist company in the region. “We are in a full financial loss.

While the Indian military force has grown in recent years, Pakistan has been shaken by political instability and economic turmoil.
However, Humayoun, a Tafis teacher, said that if the Indian government chooses to resort to military action, there are “all the reasons for the belief that Pakistan will respond in the same way.”
“In the absence of strategic containment or third -party intervention, the chances of unspecified climbing in the coming days are not unimportant,” he said.
