The partition of British India in 1947 left Kashmir's future uncertain, leading to conflict when its Hindu ruler chose to accede to India amidst invasion by Pakistan. A UN-brokered ceasefire established the Line of Control, splitting the region. Tensions persisted, exacerbated by the rise of the BJP government in India, which revoked Kashmir's autonomy in 2019, inciting protests. A brief tourism boom was disrupted by a terrorist attack in 2025, reflecting ongoing struggles for peace and autonomy in the region.
When India gained independence in 1947, Kashmir's choice of accession led to conflict, with the region now divided between India and Pakistan amid continued tensions.
The complex geopolitical situation in Kashmir, marked by wars and rivalries, has seen its status affected by internal politics, particularly with the rise of the BJP in India.
After revoking Jammu and Kashmir's autonomy, the Indian government faced protests from residents, highlighting the ongoing struggle for self-determination in the region.
Tourism thrived briefly in post-revocation Kashmir, but the violent attack on tourists in 2025 has jeopardized its potential as a peaceful destination.
