Summary
Tensions have surged between India and Pakistan following a deadly terrorist attack in Kashmir that killed 26, prompting India to suspend diplomatic relations and revoke Pakistani visas. Prime Minister Modi vowed to pursue the attackers 'to the ends of the earth,' blaming Pakistan. In response, Pakistan denied involvement and condemned India's actions, warning that interference with its water supply would be deemed an 'act of war.' The situation escalated further as both nations limited diplomatic staff and suspended trade, while India halted the Indus Water Treaty of 1960, heightening fears of military confrontation.
Perspectives
India's decision to downgrade ties with Pakistan and suspend the Indus Waters Treaty is framed as a necessary response to ongoing violence and attacks in Kashmir, amidst growing concerns about long-term regional stability. These actions, however, risk escalating tensions further and undermining years of fragile peace-building efforts.
