The major wars were in 1971 (the formation of Bangladesh) and 1999 (Pakistan crossed the Line of Control into Kargil).

Answer: Lakshadweep

Lakshadweep lies off the south-west coast of India, and the capital is Kavaratti. The other island group, the Andaman and Nicobar are much further from the Indian mainland, and are home to some of the earliest tribal groups of India. Recent settlements from the mainland and diseases pose a threat to the survival of these groups.

Answer: Karnataka

Karnataka is also home to a number of wildlife reserves and hill stations located in the Western Ghats. The Western Ghats start from Maharashtra in the west and run all the way south to Tamil Nadu, giving rise to many rivers on the way.

Answer: Tamil Nadu

Tamil Nadu is also called the "Land of the temples" owing to the vast number of temples present. The principal language of this state, Tamil is considered to be one of the oldest languages still spoken. Tamil Nadu is also famous for its distinctive architecture and cuisine.

Answer: The Seven Sisters of India

One of these states, Meghalaya, is home to Cherrapunji, and is arguably one of the wettest places on earth. The hilly climates offer a number of exciting tourist spots, and the fact that these are less visited compared to other parts of India make them all the more fascinating.
