Kashmir Conflicts

August 29, 2015;

India is celebrating the 50th anniversary of what it claims as victory in the 1965 war with Pakistan. Pakistan sent 30,000 troops into Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir in 1965, sparking the conflict and Indian soldiers invaded Pakistan in retaliation. Over the years, both sides have claimed victory: Kashmir is claimed by both countries in a continued conflict with soldiers and civilians killed on both sides of the border.
