Abstract
One of the persistent trouble spots in the world is South Asia, which comprises India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Maldives. The conflict started simmering between India and Pakistan with the partition of the British India, resulting in a secular India and an Islamic Pakistan. They fought four wars including Kargil. It is generally believed that Kashmir is the core issue of conflict between India and Pakistan. The latter occupied one-third part of Kashmir through its covert military invasion of Kashmir in 1947–1948.
