Both countries have been trying to find mutually acceptable solution to the question of Kashmir issue since the time of its inception. As a result, the possession of nuclear weapons by India and Pakistan have in turn generated arms races, crises, rivalries and increased their hostile relations. Both states attempted to acquire nuclear weapons with the primary aims of balancing each other and deterring wars. They fought three conventional wars and faced several crises during the pre-nuclear and nuclear periods over the question of Kashmir. Their bilateral relations have always been jeopardized by the Kashmir issue. In Indo-Pakistan relations, conflict, rivalry and hostility started immediately after their independence in 1947 followed by the first Indo-Pakistan war.
