India's Military Actions
India
still has unresolved arguments with China about territory. A war erupted in
1962 over land. At this point, Pakistan decided to get involved. These
countries have had multiple wars since, the latest one was in 1999. In 1974
India underwent an underground nuclear test, multiple other tests followed
after. This makes India a nuclear state. Today, India has boarder conflicts
along the Himalayas. Both countries have control over the Muslim Himalayan
region. Both countries have nuclear warheads but neither have ever used them in
a battle. Whenever troops get close to the gate that separates the Indians and
Pakistanis, the opposing side starts firing mortars and heavy machine guns. Both
countries are blaming each other for provoking one another. India and Pakistan
had a border truce in 2003 and once again the truce was broken. Both countries
are attacking civilian areas with homes and buildings.
