Conflictsbetween- Possible India Compromise and Pakistan, having started just after the partition of India in 1947. India and Pakistan have fought three wars over Kashmir, including the Indo-Pakistani Wars of 1947 and 1965, as well as the Kargil War of 1999. United Nations voting record PRESENT CONFLICT: CASE STUDY One more conflict between Pakistan and India is that of the case of Kulbhushan Jadav. Former India Naval officer Kulbhushan Jadhav was sentenced to death in a Field General Court Martial on April 10, 2017 after three-and-a-half months of trial. He has been accused of espionage and working for the India’s external intelligence agency, Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW). He was arrested from Balochistan on March 3 last year. The issue has snowballed into a flash point for India-Pakistan relations. India has been repeatedly requesting consular access to Mr. Jadhav while also demanding a certified copy of the charge sheet as well as the judgment. Pakistan has so far denied India’s request 13 times. But more recently, Yadav’s wife and mother were allowed to talk to Jadav. Jadhav's wife was asked to remove her 'bindi', 'mangal sutra'; mother was not allowed to speak in their mother tongue during the meeting. Sushma Swaraj feels that this was like insulting Indian traditions. Mr. Jadhav’s family held a series of meetings with External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and other officials. But what I feel is that, what Pakistan did was right (no offence). See, whenever you go to another country it is requires for you too respect the traditions, rules of the country. When you are going to some other country you are requires to adjust. Let us be happy that they at least got a chance to meet them.
