At midnight on August 15, 1947, the masses of the corpses of India and Pakistan, which began with the cries of liberation from colonial rule, passed through the landscape. Although this day marked the end of British rule, India and Pakistan were divided into two separate states. The current opposite nature of both independence and secession still haunts historians and continues to torment them on both sides of the border to this day.

The independence of the region from British rule gave birth to two independent nations, Hindu-majority India and Muslim-majority Pakistan, by secession along religious lines. When they seceded, there was no other country in the world like India and Pakistan. Leaders on both sides want countries to be allies like the United States and Canada. Their businesses are deeply intertwined. Their cultures are very similar. Many changes took place before India seceded. Indian National Congress (INC), they fought for independence for India, along with prominent figures such as Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru for MK, especially on the basis of religious principles, especially among Hindus and Muslims. But unfortunately, The fear of living under Hindu influence opened up by colonialists and leaders to further their own political ambitions led to the demand for Pakistan's creation.

Relations between India and Pakistan have always been volatile.Incredibly, especially in the global context, there has been political opposition in South Asia in general. India and Pakistan have been embroiled in an unannounced war since independence in 1947. There have been four wars, including border clashes and military unrest. There is no doubt that there are many reasons behind this political instability. But the Kashmir issue remains a major factor in the development of bilateral relations. Both countries have been in fierce competition for Kashmir since the day of separation based on Hindu and Muslim populations. The largest Muslim group in Kashmir is in Indian territory. But the Pakistani government has long claimed Kashmir. The wars between Hindustan (India) and Pakistan between 1947-48 and 1965 failed to resolve this issue. India defeated Pakistan in 1971, but the Kashmir issue remains unaffected. The acquisition of weapons and the nuclear program have sparked tensions between the two countries.

Although both countries have maintained a firm ceasefire since 2003, they have been firing regularly across the disputed border. In 2015, the two governments reaffirmed their commitment to implement the 1958 Nehru-Noon Agreement. The agreement deals with the exchange of territories in the east and the settlement of the Hussainiwala and Suleiman disputes in the west. It is good news for enclaves residents as it extends basic amenities such as education and clean water. This will ultimately secure the border and prevent widespread cross-border smuggling. According to the agreement, the neighbors can continue to live in their current location or move to a country of their choice. If they continue to exist, they will become citizens of the transfer of territory. Recent leadership changes have escalated tensions with Kashmir. International organizations intervene in disputes between India and Pakistan. So far, however, both sides have been interested in resuming talks.
