What to Focus On

  • Relations are strained due to the Kashmir conflict and terrorism.
  • Major wars: 1947–48, 1965, 1971, and 1999 (Kargil).
  • Tashkent Declaration (1966) and Shimla Agreement (1972) aimed at peace.
  • Bangladesh is vital for India's northeastern connectivity.
  • Illegal migration and porous borders are major challenges.
  • Ganga water sharing was resolved through a 1996 treaty.
  • Open borders and free movement under the 1950 Treaty.
  • Nepal seeks to reduce dependence on India by engaging with China.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

India and Pakistan signed the Shimla Agreement to end the 1965 war.

The Farakka Barrage was built to stop all water flow to Bangladesh.

Nepal is fully dependent on India for trade and security, so it cannot have an independent foreign policy.
