India and Pakistan are not in agreement over the demarcation line in Sir Creek in the Rann of Kutch.

Eventually, in 1960, with the help of the World Bank, India and Pakistan signed the Indus Waters Treaty which has survived to this day in spite of various military conflicts in which the two countries have been involved.

Pakistan's spy agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), is alleged to be involved in various anti-India campaigns in India’s northeast, operating secretly through Bangladesh and Nepal.
