Militant tendencies
Article Abstract:
A conflict has arisen between India and Pakistan over Kashmir and there are dangers presented by the possession of nuclear weapons by both sides, though agreement is difficult to achieve for historical reasons. India's position tends to be favored in international quarters, where Pakistan is seen as the aggressor. Pakistan perceives its invasion of the Kargil area of Kashmir as successful. Opinion is divided as to whether Pakistan's prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, sanctioned the invasion, which was carried out by militants.
