Summary/Abstract: A series of attacks reportedly by Pakistani militants in India across 2016 has led to a deepening crisis in Indo-Pakistani relations. The exchange of accusations and continuing threat of new attacks pose the risk of further escalation of the conflict. The rivalry negatively impacts regional cooperation and the stabilisation of Afghanistan. It also has contributed to the proliferation of nuclear weapons and growing menace of terrorism. Peace in the region and normalisation of ties depend on Pakistan taking on a stronger antiterrorism policy. More probable, however, is the continuation of the period of manageable tension.
