1947 .. “Kashmir” began a time bomb that ignites the conflict between India and Pakistan

The disputed Kashmir region between India and Pakistan is witnessing an unprecedented escalation in recent days, after an armed attack in the Bagham area has killed 26 civilians, including women and children.
The attack was described as violent in more than 20 years, and soon, India blamed armed groups, according to it – in support of Pakistan.
The two countries exchanged strikes at dawn today, Wednesday, in a serious escalation of events, as the Pakistani army announced that 8 civilians were killed in 24 strikes launched by India on 6 locations in Pakistan, and also resulted in the death of 35 wounded and missing two.

The Pakistani forces also bombed Indian lands, and the Indian army announced after the Indian missile strikes.

The origin of the conflict between India and Pakistan

According to Al -Arabiya channel, the origin of the conflict dates back to 1947, with Britain’s withdrawal from South Asia in 1947, and the consequent agreement to divide the Indian subcontinent into two states, India -Hindu, and Pakistan with a Muslim majority.
Al -Mahraja Harry Singh, the Hindu Kashmir ruler, insisted on including the Muslim -majority region to India, which blew the first war between the two countries.

Subsequent decades witnessed 3 major wars (1965 – 1971 – 1999), included in this Hadnat and fragile peace initiatives, but the conflict’s attraction did not extinguish.
Since the 1989 uprising, Kashmir has turned into one of the most military areas in the world, with mutual accusations of supporting armed groups and the financing of cross -border terrorism.

Cancellation of autonomy and nuclear tests

In 2019, the Narindra Modi government canceled Article 370 of the Constitution, which was given Kashmir a special position, followed by the escalation of demographic amendments to the region’s composition.
In light of the two sides possessing two nuclear arsenal, the United Nations warned of the conversion of any clash into a comprehensive war that may include weapons of mass destruction.

A threat to the water weapon

Recently Indian officials’ statements regarding stopping or codifying water flow from Kashmir rivers to Pakistan – which depends on this water to irrigate more than 80% of its agricultural lands – means turning the conflict into something similar to the unconventional war.
Despite Pakistan’s adherence to the “Sind River Agreement” sponsored by international bodies, New Delhi has already started implementing new damage projects and water transfers that may threaten agriculture and Pakistani food security.
