 Summary of this article
- Both India and Pakistan exchanged retaliatory steps, closing borders, suspending visas, downgrading diplomatic ties.
- The two countries denied and countered each other’s claims.
- The crisis escalated militarily with strikes and counter-strikes, culminating in India’s Operation Sindoor on May 7–8, marking the peak of tensions before a ceasefire days later.
A year has gone by since the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam claimed the lives of 26 civilians, setting off a four-day escalation between nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan before a ceasefire was reached on May 11.
Beyond the military confrontation, both nations launched a parallel diplomatic offensive, taking their complaints to international bodies and accusing each other for instigating the crisis. Modi went on record stating that the attackers will be chased down “to the ends of the earth,” whereas Pakistan sought proof to back India’s allegations regarding its involvement in the Pahalgam massacre.
The escalation led to a war of words between the two countries, which share a fraught history and three previous wars. Emotions surged on both sides after the deadly terror attack, while the Indian Armed Forces launched search operations for those responsible.
In Kashmir, this led not only to the demolition of properties linked to suspected militants, but also to a series of diplomatic measures that remain in force today. The Cabinet Committee on Security in a special briefing on April 23 said the Indus Waters Treaty will be put on hold until Pakistanends support for cross-border terrorism.
