		Not only were regiments organized and recruited to contain troops from a specific region, but within each individual company the troops typically comprised a specific tribe, caste, or race.
		The 7th Light Cavalry, again a former Madras-based regiment, was restructured to comprise one squadron of Punjabi Musalmans, one of Sikhs, and one of Dogras." This kind of segregation greatly increased the difficulties of recruiting and replacing troops, especially as the war dragged on.
		All of the infantry and cavalry regiments had been retrained and benefited additionally from the establishment of Allied air superiority in the form of resupply and ground support.

		New Delhi, Aug. 27: A battalion of the Pakistani army’s Baluch Regiment is in possession of a height near Kargil and may be directing artillery fire on Dras and the arterial National Highway 1A, even three years after the Kargil war.
		The location of the height, called Point 5353, is at the centre of a dispute that has been freshly stoked after Pakistani allegations — denied by New Delhi — during US under secretary of state Richard Armitage’s visit last week that India had attempted a combined air and land assault in its vicinity.
		The Baluch battalion holding the height is flanked by a battalion of the Pakistan army’s Northern Light Infantry on its east and by one of the Punjab Regiment on its west.
