===Wars involving Union and Republic of India===
 
In 1947, the [[British Raj|British Indian Empire]] split into the [[Dominion of Pakistan]] and the  [[Dominion of India|Union of India]]. The [[British Indian Army|Indian Army]], the [[Royal Indian Air Force]] and the [[Royal Indian Navy]] too, were divided between the two countries. In 1950, the [[Dominion of India|Union of India]] became the [[India|Republic of India]] after abolishing monarchy.


Following [[Partition of India|Indian independence]], merger of the princely states remained a major question. The [[Partition of India|partition]] resulted in the creation of [[Pakistan]].
