Tashkent agreement can be called a diplomatic success,but it has failed to limit any possibility of a future conflict between India and Pakistan. A possibility that persists till today. A very unfortunate incident happened at the signing of the Tashkent agreement as India lost one of its renowned Prime Minister’s Lal Bahadur Shastri.
