The conflict over Kashmir between India and Pakistan has a big impact on South Asia's geopolitical dynamics and the larger balance of power in the world. The conflict, which has its roots in the 1947 division of British India, has intensified into a recurring issue involving national identities, religious affiliations, and territorial claims. The Line of Control (LoC) acts as a de facto border between the two countries, which have fought several wars and ongoing military conflicts. The conflict in Kashmir has had a significant impact on regional stability by encouraging militarization and impeding South Asia's economic integration. Additionally, it has exacerbated insurgency, sectarianism, and transnational terrorism, making peace initiatives even more challenging. The participation of superpowers like China, Russia, and the United States adds another as these countries pursue their strategic interests in the area, adding yet another level of complexity. A resolution is still elusive in spite of multiple diplomatic interventions and international mediation efforts. This protracted conflict highlights how regional conflicts and global power politics interact, underscoring the necessity of ongoing communication, fostering trust, and upholding human rights in order to bring about sustainable peace.
