The 1965 Indo-Pak war originated from the partition of British India in 1947 and the princely state of Kashmir joining India over Pakistan. In Kashmir, the Hindu king faced protests from the majority Muslim population, which led Pakistan to send tribesmen to support them. This prompted India to send troops to Kashmir. Fighting broke out between Indian and Pakistani forces along the ceasefire line and in Kashmir. The war ended with a ceasefire in September 1965 after heavy losses on both sides. In January 1966, India and Pakistan signed the Tashkent Agreement to return to pre-war borders and improve economic relations in an effort to build peace.
