Trump announces armistice between India and Pakistan: live updates

Here is a story of the dispute.

1947

Beginnings of the caves

The argument about Kashmir almost began as soon as India and Pakistan were founded.

In 1947, Great Britain divided India, its former colony, into two countries. One was Pakistan with a Muslim majority. The other, which mainly consists of Hindus, kept the name India. But Kaschmir's fate remained undecided.

Both India and Pakistan had claimed the claim to the area within months. There was a military confrontation. The Hindu ruler of Kaschmir, who initially refused to dismiss his sovereignty, agreed to make the region of India into part of the militias from Pakistan in parts of its territory in exchange with a security guarantee.

What followed was the first war in which India and Pakistan would fight for cashmere.

Years later, in 1961, the former Kaschmir ruler died in Bombay. In an obituary, the New York Times summarized its decision to give the territory India in words that would prove to be true in the coming decades. The article said that his actions had contributed to a “persistent bitter dispute between India and Pakistan”.

1949

A weak ceasefire

In January 1949, the first war between India and Pakistan concluded about Kashmir after the United Nations interfered in order to convey a ceasefire.

A line in which the territory was shared was drawn under the provisions of the ceasefire. India would occupy the other third party about two thirds of the region and Pakistan.

The dividing line should be temporary until a more permanent political settlement.

1965

War breaks out again

The tensions were already high between India and Pakistan in the summer of 1965. In an area south of Kashmir there were between their armed forces along the border on the border.

When Pakistan carried out a hidden offensive in Kashmir's ceasefire line in August, the fights quickly escalated to a full war. The collapse was short-long-lasting about three weeks-but bloody.

In January 1966, India and Pakistan signed an agreement to settle future disputes with peaceful means.

But peace would not take.

1972

An official department

After a regional war in 1971, which led to the creation of Bangladesh, Pakistan and India decided to visit Kaschmir's unresolved edition again.

In December 1972, the federal states announced that Sackgasse had solved the ceasefire line via Kaschmir's line. But in addition to the name, little changed. The temporary ceasefire line from 1949 became an official “control line”. Each country kept the Section of Kashmir, which it had been held for more than 20 years.

While the agreement did little to change the status quo in Kashmir, the effort was to improve the volatile relationship between India and Pakistan.

A Times correspondent reported on the Deal of Neu -Delhi and wrote about the two countries: “The official sources showed that they were satisfied with the settlement that they had achieved in an atmosphere of good will and mutual understanding.”

1987

The rise of the uprising

During a time of certain political turbulence – in 1987 struggling with the local elections, which many kept, some Kashmiris turned to militancy, which would finally convince and support Pakistan.

Over the next few decades, the state police in Kashmir recorded tens of thousands of bombings, shootings, kidnapping and rocket attacks.

This violence began to moderate around the 2000s, but the years of intensive uprising had further undermined the fragile relationship between Pakistan and India.

1999

Peace talks occur briefly

When a new millennium approached, India and Pakistan seemed ready to create a more permanent peace.

In a gesture of the goodwill, the Pakistani Prime Minister organized his Indian counterpart for a weekend with joking diplomacy in February 1999. No Indian prime minister had visited Pakistan in a decade.

The summit – between the leaders of opponents, who now had nuclear weapons – created signed documents that confirm their mutual commitment to normalize relationships.

“We have to bring peace to our people,” said Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif at a press conference when Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee from India smiled by his side. “We have to bring prosperity to our people. We owe ourselves and future generations.”

Three months later, their countries were in war. Again Kashmir was the point of the discord.

The fights broke out after infiltrators from Pakistan confiscated positions within the Kashmir part given by India. India claimed that the infiltrators were Pakistani soldiers that western analysts would also believe in. Pakistan denied that his forces were involved and insisted that independent freedom fighters were behind the operation.

The war ended when Mr. Sharif asked the infiltrators to withdraw (he claimed all the time that they were not Pakistani armed forces and that Pakistan did not control them). A few months later, Mr. Sharif was discontinued in a military coup, which was led by a Pakistani general, which, as was later determined, had instructed the military idea that started the war.

2019

India breaks down

After the war in 1999, Kashmir remained one of the militarized zones in the world. The almost constant unrest in the territory brought India and Pakistan to the edge of the war several times in the following years.

The last big up was in 2019 when a bomb attack in Kashmir killed at least 40 Indian soldiers. Indian fighter planes carried out air strikes in Pakistan as retaliation measures, but the conflict was de -escalated before it became a comprehensive war.

A more permanent step came later this year when the Indian government calmed Kashmir from an estimated status.

The territory had a certain degree of autonomy for the entire modern history of Kashmir – since his Hindu ruler India had occurred. Its relative independence was anchored in India's constitution. In August 2019, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi rolled back Kaschmir's privileged status.

The procedure came with a short episode of draconian measures: thousands of Indian troops stormed into the territory. Internet connections have been separated. Telephone lines were cut. Mr. Modi's government began to manage the territory from Neu -Delhi directly and has locked up thousands of Kashmiris, including political leaders who have long been up to date in the face of separatist militance.

The stubborn approach of the government fascinated the observers all over the world. But the results as well as the results justified the funds. A new era of peace seemed to follow. Terror files decreased. Tourism bloomed.

It was an illusion.

2025

A terrorist attack

On April 22, militants shot and killed 26 people, mainly tourists from different parts of India, near Pahalgam, Kashmir. 17 others were wounded. It was one of the worst terrorist attacks on Indian civilians for decades.

Indian officials almost followed that Pakistan was involved. Mr. Modi, the prime minister, jury serious punishment for the attackers and those who gave them a safe port, although he did not expressly mention Pakistan. Pakistan quickly denied the commitment and said that it was “ready to work with every international examination of the terrorist attack.

But India was not sworn.

The retaliation measures occurred on Wednesday. India said it hit locations in Pakistan and Kashmir on Pakistan's side after Pakistan accused of being involved in the April attack. Pakistan denied these claims and swore to take revenge and witnesses and Indian officials said that at least two Indian jets had crashed.

The clashes on Friday have been escalating in the most extensive military conflict of the two arch -rivals for decades. India said Pakistan started attacks with drones and other weapons along his entire western border, while Pakistan rejected these claims. Complaints and shots were exchanged on both sides of the controversial border, the cities killed and killed civilians.
