Recent clashes in Jammu and\u00a0Kashmir, a\u00a0northern state administrated by India,\u00a0have led to what the BBC has called the \u201cthe deadliest attack on Kashmir security forces in two decades<\/a>,\u201d with the loss of 17 soldiers stationed at a military base in Uri on September 18. The recent attack was the latest flare-up of several in the disputed area near the Line of Control between India and Pakistan, which has seen more than 80<\/a> primarily civilian deaths in the past two months during anti-government protests, according to the BBC.<\/p>\n

Due to a long-standing contentious relationship with neighboring Pakistan, in part over what United Nations officials referred to as \u201csustained cross-border terrorism<\/a>,\u201d Indian officials were looking at Pakistani militants as probable culprits. No group has officially claimed responsibility<\/a> for the attack, however, and Pakistan has denied any involvement, citing reported acts of brutality<\/a> against the Kashmiri people by Indian officials as a sign that further investigation into India\u2019s own actions in the region is needed.<\/p>\n

Since July, the Kashmiri people have dealt with great unrest caused primarily by the death of a popular militant commander, Burhan Wani<\/a>. The death has sparked outrage primarily from young Kashmiri citizens, many of who saw Wani as a role model. The recent attack on the military base was further evidence of the area\u2019s increasing instability. A curfew<\/a> was imposed on Kashmir for several weeks, but several Indian media outlets<\/a> have recently begun reporting that it has been lifted in most areas, and that the region has returned to a state of relative peace.<\/p>\n

NDTV, an Indian news outlet, reported<\/a> that hundreds of young men\u00a0signed up for an army recruitment drive three days after the attack on the military base, raising concerns that\u00a0India may be bracing itself for a possible conflict. The heated discussion over the conflict, particularly the events during the day of the attack on the Uri base, has gone to the United Nations<\/a>, with Indian and Pakistani representatives unable to come to any real conclusions as to how to effectively reduce the tension between the two nations.<\/p>\n

The conflict between India and Pakistan is deeply tied to Kashmir, and both countries have a stake in how the coming months will unfold. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of Pakistan said in a speech<\/a> to the U.N. General Assembly that \u201cpeace and normalization between Pakistan and India cannot be achieved without a resolution of the Kashmir dispute.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
