Expert in B.C. says India-Pakistan tension at highest point since 1999

On May 8, 2025, M.V. Ramana, a professor at University of B.C., stated that India-Pakistan tensions reached their highest level since 1999 in disputed Kashmir.
The recent military exchanges, including Indian missile strikes killing 31 people, escalated after an April attack on Indian tourists, which Pakistan denied involvement in.
Ramana noted that unlike in 1999 when the U.S. Brokered peace, current diplomatic efforts lack similar priority, while social media and nationalism intensify the conflict.
He warned it is possible that one of these military 'red lines' could be crossed, raising concern about potential nuclear use, a scenario no one wants to see.
Western nations view India mainly as a trading partner and avoid dispute involvement while Canada monitors the situation and advised citizens to prepare for possible rapid deterioration.
