It was started in 1514 between two groups Shia militants (sipah-e-Muhammad) and Sunni (sipah-e-sahaba).

In last two decades over 4,000 people died due to sectarianism

Two types of sectarianism1. Religious sectarianism 2. Political sectarianism

RELIGIOUS SECTARIANISM IN PAKISTAN

In Pakistan religious sectarianism is between Shia militants (sipah-e-Muhammad) and Sunni (sipah-e-sahaba).

In Pakistan population of Sunni is 80-85% and Shia is 10-20% which is the largest population of Shias in any country.

Violence between these two groups take place because some of them have rigid views over Islam

POLITICAL SECTARIANISM IN PAKISTAN

Political sectarianism takes place because of rivalries to other groups in politics or different thinking of people in one group.

In the world there is sectarianism due to rigid views over an explanation

CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS(1962)

This took place between USA and USSR over missile deployment of soviet union in Cuba.

Cuba which controlled by UUSR was the closest state to Florida state of USA about 81 miles away.

If USSR had deployed the missile the cold war should have converted in to a nuclear war

The soviet moved the missile in a response of a failed invasion by USA known as PIGS

But in a period of 13 days the missiles were moved back by soviet union due to agreements between USA and USSR
