Prohibition refers to a period in American history when the sale, distribution, and manufacturing of alcohol was illegal. During this time, many businessmen saw an opportunity to make money illegaly by continuing to sell alcohol to citizens who still desired to drink. This resulted in the development of organized crimes and gangs, ultimately increase the rate of violent crimes and homicides during this period. Along with this, hundreds of thousands of people were arrested or detained due to their activity with alcohol. This made it increasingly difficult and expensive for law enforcement agents to keep up with prohibition.

Since the Partition of British India in 1947 and subsequent creation of the dominions of India and Pakistan, the two countries have been involved in a number of wars, conflicts and military standoffs. A long-running dispute over Kashmir and cross-border terrorism have been the predominant cause of conflict between the two states, with the exception of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, which occurred as a direct result of hostilities stemming from the Bangladesh Liberation War in erstwhile East Pakistan (now Bangladesh).
