Ceasefire called in India-Pakistan tension - How long will it last?

After a week of tensions, India and Pakistan have reached a ceasefire deal.

Tensions over the disputed territory of Kashmir were reignited after a massacre of Hindu tourists last month, leading to a series of bombings between the two countries that sparked fears they would return to full out war.

While the ceasefire deal is holding for now, many in the Kashmir region are hoping a permanent solution can be found.

Today on The Front Page, Auckland University Director of Global Studies, Chris Ogden is with us to explain the historical tensions between the two countries, and what is needed for permanent peace.
