The India-Pakistan Indus Waters Treaty was signed by Nehru and General Ayub Khan in 1960. The long-term dispute about the sharing of river waters was resolved through mediation by the World Bank.

In October 1962, China initiated a swift and massive invasion of both disputed regions. The initial attack lasted for a week, during which Chinese forces seized strategic areas in Arunachal Pradesh. Following that, a second wave of attack occurred the next month. While Indian forces managed to halt Chinese advances on the western front in Ladakh, on the eastern front, Chinese troops progressed nearly to the entry point of the Assam plains. Subsequently, China declared a unilateral ceasefire and withdrew its troops to their positions before the invasion. Following the India-China war in 1962, K. Krishna Menon chose to resign from his position as the Defence Minister of India.

In January 1966, Indian Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri and Pakistan’s General Ayub Khan formalized an agreement known as the Tashkent Agreement, following the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, which had been facilitated by the Soviet Union. The agreement aimed to restore peace and normalize relations between the two countries after the conflict.

With Bangladesh as a free country, India declared a unilateral ceasefire. Later, the signing of the Shimla Agreement between Indira Gandhi and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto on 3 July 1972 formalised the return of peace.
