India and Pakistan have fought at least three wars over the disputed region of Kashmir, in 1947, 1965, and 1999. India claims the entire area of the former princely state of Jammu &amp; Kashmir as per the Instrument of Accession (Jammu and Kashmir) signed aftermath of partition, of which India administers approximately 43%. Pakistan also claims it since the partition, which controls approximately 37% of the region and encourages proxy-war tactics in Kashmir. The remaining territory is controlled by the People's Republic of China, which few areas occupied during the Sino-Indian War and few parts were gifted by Pakistan to China.
