	The History Guy Website Indo-Pakistani Wars & Conflicts This page shows conflicts between the South Asian nations of India and Pakistan. Both nations gained independence from Britain simultaneously in 1947, and almost immediately plunged into war over the fate of the mountainous Jammu-Kashmir region. All of their conflicts with each other stem from the Kashmir conflict, with the exception of the Bengali War of Independence, in which India aided the rebels of East Pakistan to become the sovereign nation of Bangladesh. India and Pakistan came close to war again in 2001 following a terrorist attack on the Indian Parliament. India blamed Pakistan for the attack. In November, 2008, the initial blame for the terrorist attacks on Mumbai, India was once again placed on elements in Pakistan. Whether the Mumbai attacks lead to a war atmosphere again remains to be seen.
