<P> The Indo - Pakistani War of 1947 -- 1948 , sometimes known as the First Kashmir War , was fought between India and Pakistan over the princely state of Kashmir and Jammu from 1947 to 1948 . It was the first of four Indo - Pakistan Wars fought between the two newly independent nations . Pakistan precipitated the war a few weeks after independence by launching tribal lashkar ( militia ) from Waziristan , in an effort to secure Kashmir , the future of which hung in the balance . The inconclusive result of the war still affects the geopolitics of both countries . </P>
