When and how was the canal water dispute resolved between Pakistan and India? Explain briefly.
The dispute began in April 1948 when India stopped water flowing to Pakistan's canals. After years of negotiation under the World Bank's mediation, the Indus Waters Treaty was signed in Karachi on 19 September 1960 by Ayub Khan and Nehru. The three eastern rivers (Ravi, Beas, Sutlej) went to India and the three western rivers (Indus, Jhelum, Chenab) to Pakistan, with funds for replacement canals, dams and link canals (Mangla, Tarbela).
The Kashmir issue is a hurdle in Pak-India relations. Explain briefly.
The unresolved Kashmir dispute remains the central hurdle in Pakistan-India relations: it has caused three wars (1948, 1965, Kargil 1999), repeatedly disrupted diplomatic dialogue (as after Agra 2001 and post-2019 developments), fuels cross-border tension and military build-up on both sides, and prevents normalisation of trade and people-to-people contact, since both countries link progress on other issues to movement on Kashmir.
