Indo-Pak Conflict Timeline: Every War, Attack, Ceasefire — And How India Always Fought Back Stronger

Operation Sindoor, launched to deliver justice to the innocent victims of the Pahalgam terror attack, has recently concluded after three days of intense air and drone strikes. This operation is the latest in a long and complex history of military engagements between India and Pakistan. In this video, we take you through the major wars, conflicts, and stand-offs that have defined the Indo-Pak relationship since the Partition in 1947. From the first war over Jammu & Kashmir right after independence, to the 1965 war involving Operation Gibraltar and the massive tank battles, to the 1971 war that resulted in the creation of Bangladesh, each conflict has left a lasting impact on the region's geopolitics. We also cover the turbulent period of the late 1980s and 1990s marked by insurgencies, military exercises like Operation Brasstacks, and the nuclear tensions that almost led to a catastrophic war. The Kargil conflict of 1999, one of the most significant and intense military engagements, is explained in detail — highlighting India’s military and diplomatic response that forced Pakistan to withdraw after international pressure. Besides full-scale wars, this video also explores regional conflicts like the 1965 Kutch skirmish and the prolonged Siachen Glacier standoff, which continues to see a heavy military presence on both sides despite a declared ceasefire. Through this comprehensive historical overview, understand how repeated acts of aggression and terror have shaped the strained relations between the two countries and why Operation Sindoor stands as a significant chapter in India’s ongoing fight against terrorism and cross-border threats.
