The conflict between India and Pakistan has been going on since their partition in 1947. With the recent developments in both countries' nuclear arsenals as well as the increase in insurgent movements in the disputed territory of Kashmir, it has now escalated to a point where the security of not only South Asia but also the entire world is threatened.

The new trend amongst these "activists" includes the use of military target-oriented human bombs. On April 19, 2000 a young member of the umbrella Muslim militant group,
Dispute has to be solved
This essay is very useful. However Indo-Pak relations are developing. Now there are various peace programmes held at the border. The only threat to the friendly relationship are the terrorist groups that attack both countries alike. The parliament attack in India and the attack against Musharaf are the best examples. India also have concentrated on development and is the 4th country that progresses fast. China is already a superpower. Thus if these two countries combine, then Asia would be the most developed continent
