HISTORY :
Here is a look at some highs and lows in relations between India and Pakistan.
1947 — The British Empire in the subcontinent is divided into two countries: India and Pakistan. The unexpected Partition and lack of proper arrangements for one of the greatest migrations of modern history led to skirmishes and bloodshed on both sides of the divide.
1947/48 — India and Pakistan go to war over Kashmir. The war ends with a UN-ordered ceasefire and resolution seeking a plebiscite for the people of Jammu and Kashmir to decide whether to become part of India or Pakistan.
1965 — India and Pakistan fight their second war over Kashmir. Fighting ends after the United Nations calls for a ceasefire.
1966—Tashkand accord signed by India’s prime minister Lal Bahadur Shastri (who died the next day) and Pakistan’s president Ayub Khan, ending the 17-day war between Pakistan and India the parties agreed to withdraw all armed forces to positions held before Aug. 5, 1965; to restore diplomatic relations; and to discuss economic, refugee, and

    One inevitable impact the division had on the people was perhaps one of the greatest refugee crises and migration in history. Over 10 million people moved between India and Pakistan. For the most part, the Hindus generally moved into the Indian subcontinent while the Muslims, who feared Hindu domination, migrated to East and West Pakistan. In Document 8 it shows that there were around 8.6 million Muslim refugees that migrated out of India into either East or West Pakistan. In addition to this extraordinary refugee crises, another effect the division of India had was border tensions. The tensions between the borders of India and Pakistan resulted in India being at the “receiving end of Pakistan’s heavy shelling” and “heavy bombing” (Document 9b). This shows that not only was there a large scale migration crises, there was also several attacks and possibly deaths and casualties from bombs. Also, in document 9a it that states that another effect of the division was that there were “two armed conflicts (in 1965 and 1999) and numerous clashes between Indian and Pakistani forces”. This highlights the various facets of the tensions and problems the division of India had on the Hindus and Muslims. It is inevitable that the division of the region greatly affected the people who lived there by causing the largest migration in human history, armed conflicts, and…

    Though they have been in existence for less than a century, India and Pakistan have enough history between them to fill several books. Tensions between Hindus and Muslims grew rapidly with the split of India and Pakistan in 1947. Before tensions were running high, but now gave way to rioting. It all started when India, then also including what is now present day Pakistan, was under British rule. The British had been ruling for roughly a century and ground the native’s faces in the dirt the entire time they were in power. Naturally, there were dissenters who did not appreciate being told what to do and these voices grew stronger as time went along. Over the time, Britain had given more and more freedom to India until it was almost free. Around the time of World War 2, Britain asked for the assistance of Indians to fight in the war against Japan. India relented but then talks broke down and India demanded it be free. The Muslim faction of British India (or British Raj), which made up a smaller percentage of British India than Hindus did, did not want India to be free, since they felt they would be treated like second class citizens. Under British doctrine, all natives were treated equal and the Muslims thought they would be treated more fairly under British rule. To fully understand the depth of the situation, one would have to go back when the British first staked their claim in India.…

    Religious differences have inspired many wars throughout history, with each side believing their God or gods will carry them to victory. Some of this opposition continues from ancient times to today. The Hindu and Muslim conflict is one of the longest and an exceptional example of Superior vs. Inferior. Both view that their gods are more paramount to the other, dating as far back as 715 A.D. Conflict escalated more in the 1940’s when Pakistan separated from India and became an independent Muslim country. The border town of Kashmir, on India side, has been a continuous hot zone for religions dominance. In 2002, Muslims attacked a Hindu train and killed at least 58 people. This sparked widespread violence throughout Kashmir, as 2000 paramilitary troops were called in to squelch the rioting. Even though a call for peace among other world leaders hostility continues throughout Kashmir.…

    When the British finally left India, the people weren’t sure how to rule themselves. The partition of India was known as the world’s biggest migration, where over 1 million people migrated from India to Pakistan. They were promised new homeland from the British. In 1947 the border between India and Pakistan became a river of blood because of rioting. Over ten million people travelled on foot, trains, and carts.

    Extended Essay History

    This essay attempts to shed some light on the question: "To what extent can the Cold War be looked upon as the main event in shaping the political, economic and military schemes in India and Pakistan 1991?" It starts off by explaining the Cold War, its far reaching implications and the effect it had on two bitter neighbours, India and Pakistan. The focus of the essay then moves onto explaining the nature of the Cold War and its effect upon India and Pakistan briefly. The main source of information for this section of the essay is derived from "the Age of Extremes" by Eric Hobsbawm. It also addresses the differences between the two countries that have come to be of such importance in today's day and age. The essay then moves onto talking about India and Pakistan's individual relationships with the two superpowers. In the case of India I have used my grandfather as a source of primary research, seeing as he was an active investor in the Indian share market back then. I have also cited part of an article from the New York Times in order to make the explanation more effective. The penultimate chapter of the essay focuses on similarities and differences in terms of growth and development, in the Indo-Pak association. It also speaks about the two countries' possession and usage of nuclear weapons. The essay features numerous citations from reliable sources on the internet. Dr. Maleeha Iodi, a former Pakistani ambassador to the USA has also been considered in order to arrive at a rational conclusion.…

    Kashmir Conflict

    India’s forcible occupation of the State of Jammu and Kashmir in 1947 is the main cause of the dispute. India claims to have ‘signed’ a controversial document, the Instrument of Accession, on 26 October 1947 with the Maharaja of Kashmir, in which the Maharaja obtained India’s military help against popular insurgency. The people of Kashmir and Pakistan do not accept the Indian claim. There are doubts about the very existence of the Instrument of Accession. The United Nations also does not consider Indian claim as legally valid: it recognizes Kashmir as a disputed territory. Except India, the entire world community recognizes Kashmir as a disputed territory. The fact is that all the principles on the basis of which the Indian subcontinent was partitioned by the British in 1947 justify Kashmir becoming a part of Pakistan: the State had majority Muslim population, and it not only enjoyed geographical proximity with Pakistan but also had essential economic linkages with the territories…

    Bilateral relations have evolved from an initial Chinese policy of sympathy and support for the creation of a independent homeland for the Muslims of South Asia in 1947 to an unusual partnership that links a small but militarily powerful Pakistan, dependent on China for its economic and military strength, with China trying to balance competing interests in the region. Diplomatic relations were established in 1950, military assistance began in 1966, a strategic alliance was formed in 1972 and economic co-operation began in 1979.…
