Abstract

Since the birth of Pakistan, India-Pakistan relations have been fraught with hostility, suspicion, and conflict. The issue of war, border disputes, the Kashmir issue, and most worryingly, terrorism, has repeatedly come to the fore between the two countries. Pakistan-based terrorist groups have carried out attacks in India many times. Notable among these attacks are the Parliament attack, Mumbai attack, Uri attack, Pulwama attack and Pahalgam attack. This paper seeks to examine the nature of these attacks, how India has responded to them, and explores the reasons why India refrains from launching a full-scale war in retaliation.
