Pakistan’s Detention of Indian Border Guard Adds to Tensions

The tensions between India and Pakistan have risen once more following the arrest of an Indian border guard by Pakistani forces after last week’s terrorist attack in Kashmir that killed 26 civilians. Purnam Kumar Shaw, part of the Border Security Force, whose family is reportedly concerned about his fate, was found crossing into Pakistani territory while accompanying farmers in Punjab and detained a day after the attack. The incident highlights the ongoing volatile rivalry between the nuclear-armed nations as they grapple with both terrorism and recent border confrontations.
