Kashmir Issue India and Pakistan have fought at least three wars over Kashmir. Indo-Pakistani Wars of 1947, 1965 and 1999 Pakistan believes that the international community, in particular

is the origin point for many rivers and tributaries of the Indus River basin.

The river tributaries are the Jhelum and Chenab rivers, which primarily flow into Pakistan while other branches—the Ravi, Beas, and the Sutlej—irrigate northern India.
