1973 Samita border skirmish

In 1973, there was a fight between two countries, India and Pakistan, over a border area called Samita. It was like when two kids fight over a toy they both want. India and Pakistan both wanted to control this area and argued over it for a long time.

One day, some soldiers from both countries got into a big fight near the Samita border. It was like when two kids start pushing and shoving each other. This fight lasted for a few days and both sides lost some soldiers.

Eventually, the two countries agreed to stop fighting and signed a deal. It was like when two kids agree to share a toy so they don't have to fight. India got to control most of the Samita area, but Pakistan got a small part of it too.

After this, both countries tried to be better friends and not fight so much anymore. It was like when two kids make up after a fight and promise to be nicer to each other.
