This is a historical overview of armed conflicts involving India since Indian independence.

Wars in the Indian subcontinent
The following is an exhaustive list of wars and conflicts that were fought in the historic Indian subcontinent. The wars listed below involve three of the prominent empires to rule over the subcontinent — The Mauryas,  Mughals and the  Marathas. The Company rule in India is also included.

Empire of India (1858–1947)
Following the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the rule of the three major powers, the Mughals, Marathas and the British East India company came to end and the British crown now began to rule over India directly as per the Government of India Act 1858. India was now a single empire comprising British India and the Princely states. The Empire of India was officially created by British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli for Queen Victoria in 1876 and she was crowned Empress of India.

Dominion of India (1947–1950)
Following Indian independence, merger of princely states and provinces remained a major question. The partition resulted in a hostile neighbor Pakistan and the two have fought four wars since then.

Republic of India (1950–present)
India has fought many wars and minor conflicts during its period as a republic.
