The conflict between India and Pakistan represents a critical issue in South Asian geopolitics, with profound implications for human security. While national security has traditionally dominated discussions, the impact of military tensions on civilian lives remains underexplored. The lives of people living in the region are always subjected to the relationship between the two nations. The research identifies a gap in the literature concerning the effects of these tensions on the well-being of residents and broader human security concerns. The objective of this study is to explore how the ongoing India-Pakistan proxy war, particularly post-2014, has heightened human security challenges in the region. The perpetual cycle of retaliation and counter-retaliation may result in persistent infringements of human rights, hindered economic progress, and strain diplomatic ties. In the absence of a resolution, the current disagreement may easily escalate into a drawn-out war. This situation has the potential to solidify differences, prolong violence, and significantly weaken stability in the region.
