		The 1999 Kargil conflict between India and Pakistan which claimed 1,000 lives is being brought to the big screen in a big-budget movie starring some of the most famous names in Bollywood.

	Conflict in Kargil (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		The good news is that the current crisis in Kargil suggests that the worst fears of the non-proliferation community regarding Indo-Pakistani tensions are exaggerated.
		The bad news is that the Kargil crisis strongly indicates that the creation of overt nuclear capabilities by both sides did not provide corresponding political or military stability.
		Conflict over the Line of Control is not surprising, either, given the unresolved final disposition of the Kashmir problem and the continuing "little war" over the Siachen Glacier.

	Defenceindia : Editorial : Lessons we must learn from the Kargil conflict
		By now the 1947, 1965, 1971 and 1999 conflicts should have taught the military rulers of Pakistan the lesson that using costly wars and proxy wars to keep the hounds of democracy at bay from their seats of power would not fool the people of Pakistan and the rest of the world for all times.
		Five years after Kargil, having lost the war of guns and grenades, Pakistan's war of diplomatic double-talk and saturated propaganda bombing too has not convinced either its Western allies and the Europeans, or some of the other Muslims countries, that Pakistan should be given the sanction of annexing Kashmir by military aggression.
		There might be more Kargils ahead because striking at neighbouring countries with their armed forces, dressed as guerillas and mercenaries or mujahideen was a tactic which had been honed into a fine art by Pakistan.

		This had been the case since 1977, but in 1999 this agreement was cast aside by the Pakistani army in hopes of trying to gain the upper hand in Kashmir and plunging the Indian subcontinent in brief and limited war and raising the spectre of nuclear war.
		Operation Vijay in the Kargil district of Jammu and Kashmir during the summer months of 1999 was a joint Infantry-Artillery endeavour to evict regular Pakistani soldiers of the Northern Light Infantry (NLI) who had intruded across the Line of Control (LoC) into Indian territory and had occupied un-held high-altitude mountain peaks and ridgelines.
