Why India vs Pakistan War May Happen
Kashmir Conflict
The long-standing dispute over Kashmir remains the biggest flashpoint. Territorial claims and cross-border insurgency fuel tensions.
Cross-Border Terrorism
Terror attacks in India allegedly supported by Pakistan-based groups (e.g., Pulwama 2019) often lead to military escalations.
Ceasefire Violations
Frequent violations along the Line of Control (LoC) escalate hostility, sometimes resulting in casualties on both sides.
Political Instability in Pakistan
Internal political crises can trigger aggressive foreign policies to divert attention, potentially leading to military confrontations.
Military Build-Up
Both countries consistently upgrade their defense capabilities. Misinterpretations or miscalculations could spark conflict.
Water Disputes (Indus Waters Treaty)
Disagreements over water sharing from the Indus River system can add strain, especially during drought or crop crises.
Influence of External Powers
Involvement of countries like China, the U.S., or Saudi Arabia in South Asian politics could escalate regional tensions into full-blown conflict.
