India faces several conflicts with its neighboring countries. Major conflicts include disputes with Pakistan over the Kashmir region and its water resources, which have led to four wars between the two countries. India also has a conflict with China over control of the Brahmaputra river. Within India, religious and ethnic tensions between Hindu and Muslim groups have resulted in conflicts and violence in some states. Both India and its neighbors will need to negotiate and find compromise to settle their territorial and resources disputes in order to continue economic development.
