India’s Defence System

Roll No. 32-38

 Wars held between India and Pakistan
 India and Pakistan have went to war against each other four times since their
independence from the U.K. and subsequent partition into separate sovereign
states.
 On August 15, 1947, independence was won, and British India was separated
into the Union of India and the Dominion of Pakistan.
 These new political borders could not be completely established according to
religion, leaving many Hindus in Pakistan and Muslims in India. Violence
among religious groups broke out, leading to a giant wave of migration as
people moved to the countries corresponding with their religions.
 Additionally, independence left behind some territories still under the rule
of Indian monarchy, called princely states. These territories became points of
contention between the newly developed sovereign nations.

 Indo-Pakistani War was held on 1947, 1965, 1971 and

1999.
