The separation in 1947 of British India into the Muslim state of
Pakistan (with two sections West and East) and largely Hindu India was never
satisfactorily resolved, and India and Pakistan fought two wars - in 1947-48 and
1965 - over the disputed Kashmir territory.
A third war between these countries in 1971 resulted in East
Pakistan becoming the separate nation of Bangladesh.
The dispute over the state of Kashmir is ongoing.
