 India and Pakistan have a deeply strained relationship rooted in the 1947 partition and shaped by the Two-Nation Theory, the Kashmir conflict, and events like the 1999 Kargil War and 2008 Mumbai attacks. Media in both countries is often accused of “narrow nationalism” or “jarhead journalism,” which fuels misinformation and heightens tensions. Recent incidents, including the 2025 Pahalgam attack and India’s ban on Pakistani YouTube channels, underscore the ongoing hostility. Geopolitical shifts and mutual distrust further complicate the situation. Despite occasional efforts toward peace and dialogue, the relationship remains tense, fragile, and riddled with historical and ideological divisions.
