The major conflict fought in South Asia between primarily India and Pakistan is the Indo-Pakistani War, which began shortly after the partition in 1947. The conflict arose over the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, which both countries claim but control different parts of. Subsequent wars in 1965 and 1971, as well as ongoing tensions, have stemmed from this territorial dispute, influencing regional dynamics and leading to significant military engagements. The wars have fostered longstanding animosity and conflict, shaping the geopolitical landscape of South Asia and impacting millions of lives across the subcontinent.
