• India and Pakistan have been on the brink of a war-like situation with drone strikes and artillery bombardments. The ceasefire obtained on May 10 is still unstable.
• Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a punitive operation against Pakistan in response to a terrorist attack in Kashmir.
• Both countries entered into a dangerous escalation of violence without a clear victor.
• The conflict highlighted India's security and political weaknesses, especially in relation to Pakistan and China.
• Modi's policy in Kashmir has proven to be ineffective and has added fuel to regional tensions.
• Pakistan and India continue to compete for full sovereignty over Kashmir, a predominantly Muslim region.
• Despite international mediations and interventions, lasting and meaningful solutions continue to be elusive.

Conclusion: The conflict between India and Pakistan over Kashmir needs an urgent and effective solution, as it threatens to destabilize a heavily militarized and nuclear region.
