Amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, the Simla Agreement—the framework that has guided bilateral relations for over half a century—is once again under immense strain. The most recent crisis has rapidly evolved from diplomatic condemnation to a series of retaliatory air strikes, drone activity, and heavy artillery shelling across the Line of Control (LoC), resulting in dozens of civilian and military casualties on both sides.
