Kashmir has been the main subject of conflict between India and Pakistan since 1947 with Pakistani terrorist groups committing and often claiming responsibility for cross border terrorist attacks in India such as the Uri attack and Pulwama attack of February 2019 which killed over 40 Indian Military personnel.
