India Pakistan Disputes
| SEMINARS ON GENERAL TOPICS | Contemporary Non-Economic Issue | Contemporary Conflicts between India - Pakistan | | |

Indo-Pakistani relations are grounded in the political, geographic, cultural, and economic links between the Republic of India and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan the two largest countries of South Asia. The two countries share much of their common geographic location, but differ starkly in religious demographics. India is a secular country with Hindu majority at about 80% of the total population and Muslims being the largest religious minority with about 13% of the population. Pakistan, on the other hand, is an Islamic country with 97% population being Muslim, and only about 1.8% Hindus. Diplomatic relations between the two are defined by the history of the violent partition of British India into these two states, and numerous military conflicts and territorial disputes thereafter.
Some of the contemporary issues mentioned below get you thinking whether or not the long hatred between India-Pakistan will ever fade out.

Then the communal riots in Gujarat in 2002 turned him into a jihadi. He was originally a member of the Indian Mujahideen (IM), an Indian terror group, and was close to its founder, Riyaz Bhatkal. He was recruited by the terror group Students Islamic Movement of India or SIMI. A few years later, he was in Poonch in Jammu and Kashmir when he entered the ranks of the Lashkar-e-Taiba

    Born in 1957, into a wealthy family, at school and university he joined the Muslim Brotherhood. When the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979, he collected money and supplies for the Afghan resistance, the mujahideen. He made further trips, and joined the fighting. As a wealthy Saudi, he stood out and acquired a following, and other Arabs joined the Afghan Muslims. He organised a guesthouse and camps, naming them al-Qaeda. The Afghan jihad against the Soviet army was backed with American dollars, and supported by the governments of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. But after the Soviet withdrawal, bin Laden became disillusioned by the lack of recognition for his achievements. Half a million US soldiers were invited onto Saudi soil, a historic betrayal in bin Laden's eyes. Bin Laden began to direct his efforts against the US and its allies in the Middle East. In 1991 he was expelled because of his anti-government activities. His bank accounts were frozen and his movements limited. As he felt himself under increasing pressure bin Laden became more radical. By the mid-1990s, he was calling for a global war against all Americans and Jews and, in 1998, he issued his famous fatwa (religious ruling), amounting to a declaration of war against the US. Experts say bin Laden is part of an international Islamic front, bringing together Saudi, Egyptian and other groups. He has been accused of masterminding the bombing of US embassies, the World Trade Centre destruction, and other attacks.…

    One inevitable impact the division had on the people was perhaps one of the greatest refugee crises and migration in history. Over 10 million people moved between India and Pakistan. For the most part, the Hindus generally moved into the Indian subcontinent while the Muslims, who feared Hindu domination, migrated to East and West Pakistan. In Document 8 it shows that there were around 8.6 million Muslim refugees that migrated out of India into either East or West Pakistan. In addition to this extraordinary refugee crises, another effect the division of India had was border tensions. The tensions between the borders of India and Pakistan resulted in India being at the “receiving end of Pakistan’s heavy shelling” and “heavy bombing” (Document 9b). This shows that not only was there a large scale migration crises, there was also several attacks and possibly deaths and casualties from bombs. Also, in document 9a it that states that another effect of the division was that there were “two armed conflicts (in 1965 and 1999) and numerous clashes between Indian and Pakistani forces”. This highlights the various facets of the tensions and problems the division of India had on the Hindus and Muslims. It is inevitable that the division of the region greatly affected the people who lived there by causing the largest migration in human history, armed conflicts, and…

    Al Qaueda was responsible for one of the most tragic events United States history, the attack on the Twin Towers in New York. Osama bin Laden played a huge role in shaping this terror group until his death in 2011.When the U.S forces killed al –Zarqawi, the horrendous treatment of the citizens did not end, until the Sahwa Fronts and Sunni Tribal leaders practically made the group extinct, but that did not work. In 2006, al Qaeda was re-named as The Islamic State in Iraq (ISI), but as the years passed they also accommodated Syria into the group to famously be known as now as ISIS. The master of this terror group, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, formed his own military group before he joined al Qaeda in Iraq. In2004, Baghdadi was arrested by U.S. forces in Iraq. He served four years in an American prison camp in southern Iraq, at which many suspect he broadened a system of networks and came up with his ideas. He was later released in 2009. In 2010, al-Baghdadi rose to merge with Syria but failed to do so formally until 2013. In 2014, Baghdadi announced the creation of the Islamic caliphate. He was named its caliph. Al Baghdadi…

    Extended Essay History

    • 19 Pages

    This essay attempts to shed some light on the question: "To what extent can the Cold War be looked upon as the main event in shaping the political, economic and military schemes in India and Pakistan 1991?" It starts off by explaining the Cold War, its far reaching implications and the effect it had on two bitter neighbours, India and Pakistan. The focus of the essay then moves onto explaining the nature of the Cold War and its effect upon India and Pakistan briefly. The main source of information for this section of the essay is derived from "the Age of Extremes" by Eric Hobsbawm. It also addresses the differences between the two countries that have come to be of such importance in today's day and age. The essay then moves onto talking about India and Pakistan's individual relationships with the two superpowers. In the case of India I have used my grandfather as a source of primary research, seeing as he was an active investor in the Indian share market back then. I have also cited part of an article from the New York Times in order to make the explanation more effective. The penultimate chapter of the essay focuses on similarities and differences in terms of growth and development, in the Indo-Pak association. It also speaks about the two countries' possession and usage of nuclear weapons. The essay features numerous citations from reliable sources on the internet. Dr. Maleeha Iodi, a former Pakistani ambassador to the USA has also been considered in order to arrive at a rational conclusion.…

    (Under Section 173 Cr.P.C.) IN THE COURT OF ADDL. CH. M.M., 37TH COURT, ESPLANADE, MUMBAI. The Chief Investigating Officer of the sensational and diabolic attacks by the terrorists at different iconic locations in Mumbai on 26th November 2008, hereby submits a report under Section 173 of Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 as under. A heinous criminal conspiracy has been planned and hatched in Pakistan by the internationally banned Lashkar-e-Taiba to execute a series of attacks at prominent places in Mumbai, the financial capital of the country on 26th November 2008. This was with the express intention to destabilize India, wage war against this country, terrorize its citizens, create financial loss and issue a warning to other countries whose citizens were also targetted , humiliated and cold-bloodedly killed. This Fidayeen Mission was part of a larger criminal conspiracy planned in Pakistan for attacking the commercial capital of India with intent to wage war, to weaken India economically and to create terror and dread amongst the citizens of the Mumbai metropolis in particular and India in general and, thereby, through the said unlawful activities its perpetrators committed terrorist acts. Lashkar-e-Taiba (Lashkar-e Tayyiba; literally means Army of the Good, translated as Army of the Righteous, or Army of the Pure) — also pronounced and spelt as Lashkar-i-Tayyaba, Lashkar-e-Tayyaba, Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, Lashkari-Taiba, or LeT — is one of the largest, most active and lethal militant organizations in South Asia.

    Decolonization

    • 4 Pages

    Social influences in India, Africa and Southeast Asia contributed significantly to stability, or lack thereof, in these regions during post-colonial transitions. India and Africa certainly suffered from ethnic tensions after decolonization. Traditionally, India is Hindu, however with the influx of Muslim Arabs during the previous millennium during Arab invasions, this established a significant Muslim minority. The interaction between Indian Hindus and Muslims over the next several hundred years remained strained due to unequal social hierarchy, with the Muslim minority considered oppressed by the Hindus in the 19th and 20th century. As the Indian independence movement pressed forward and culminated in 1947, in contrast to the more populous Hindus who sought a unified India, Muslims petitioned for an independent Muslim state. Muslim and Hindu religions began an almost immediate conflict with each other resulting in the Muslim Pakistan and Hindu India split. This Partition of Bengal resulted in religious hostilities and enormous displacement and migrations of Hindus and Muslims to their newly…

    Pak China Relations

    • 6 Pages

    Pakistan and China’s bilateral relations have stood the test of time. China has always provided political, economic, humanitarian and diplomatic support to Pakistan. However, for the last two years there has been a concerted campaign in the Indian and Western media to malign this relationship by blowing minor issues out of proportion. Chinese aid volume during the 2010 super floods, the pulling out of government owned Chinese bank from Iran-Pakistan pipeline project, the 2011 terrorist attack in Xinjiang in which involvement of Pakistani elements was pointed by China, the withholding of time sensitive funds of Rs 274 billion for Nelum-Jehlum hydropower project, on Indian pressure; are cited as signs of weakening ties. Though Pak-China bilateral relations are very robust, it is obvious that in international affairs nothing can be taken for granted. Necessary measures need to be adopted to smooth any wrinkles in the relationship. There have also been some interesting regional as well as global developments during recent years which require further strengthening of PakChina rapport.…
