	CCC - Kargil Conference Report
		Kargil occurred because of the growing unease among the Pakistani military elite, who believed that the Indian army's successful management of insurgency in Kashmir was diluting their Kashmir cause, and also because they felt emboldened by an assumed annulment of Indian conventional superiority through Pakistan's nuclear acquisition.
		However, Ganguly conceded that the Kargil conflict showed that, despite the increased lethality of their military arsenals, Indian and Pakistani leaders might feel compelled to confine the theater of operations in a future conflict for fear of an escalatory spiral culminating in the resort to the threat of use, or actual use, of nuclear weapons.
		Public sensitivities on a national issue such as Kargil are evident from the record 5,000 million rupees contributed by the public toward the war effort and the rehabilitation of those affected by the Kargil conflict.

	The Kargil conundrum
		In 1947, Kargil and the heights around it were occupied by Pakistani marauders and Ladak was effectively sealed off from the rest of the country.
		The Kargil fixation of the Pakistani military is a longstanding riddle.
		The choice of Kargil, away from the Kashmir valley, and in an area not likely to invite a general mobilisation of forces would be the perfect one to test the political will to bring the military to order in Pakistan.

	Kargil Strike By Lt. Col. Thakur Kuldip S. Ludra
		While instances abound to confirm this, sometimes there is a dynamic force which helps bring about a change for the better as a results of lessons learnt from the happenings of history.
		On the reverse side there are many instances where nothing is learnt and the participants are thereafter condemned to repeat the happenings to their detriment and, in case of nations, to the deteriment of the people.
		Kargil is the best example when due to plethora of reasons the nation woke suddenly to a situation, where strategically important areas, on the Indian side of Line of Control and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir were discovered to be under Pakistan control.

	The truth about Kargil
		This is a reference to the Kargil Project of the Centre for Contemporary Conflict, Naval Postgraduate School at Monterey, which held conferences in which former officials of India and Pakistan participated.
		At the same time, Pakistan's intent of keeping the Kargil operation limited was reflected in the fact that Pakistan did not respond to the use of the IAF by calling in the PAF...
		Her only consolation is that Kargil proved that "Pakistan could sustain a limited military encounter in conventional terms in the face of India raising the conventional ante, and still prevent India from opening an all-out war front along the international border".

		The Kargil War, also known as the Kargil conflict (I), was an armed conflict between India and Pakistan that took place between May and July 1999 in Kashmir.
		Apart from the district capital, Kargil, the frontline in the conflict encompassed the tiny town of Drass as well as the Batalik sector, Mushko Valley and other nearby areas along the de facto border.
		All these tactical reasons, plus the Kargil district being a Muslim majority, were probably contributing factors to why Kargil was chosen as the location to attack.

	Kargil Review Committee Report

		The Kargil action saw the deployment of a limited number of troops and aircrafts on a restricted front in response to a shallow Pakistani penetration across the LOC of no more than eight to nine kilometres at most.
		At the height of the Cold War, when mutual deterrence was in operation between the superpowers, it used to be argued by strategists that "salami slicing" of small pieces of territory which the adversary would not consider worth escalating to nuclear levels was always feasible.

	Looking beyond Kargil
		The seizing of the Kargil and other heights in lightning move could not have been transformed into the territorial occupation of the region.
		It would not be unrealistic to believe that in Kargil operation, parties such as Jamaat-e-Islami and Jamiat-ul-Ulema-i-Islam, who openly recruited `Mujahids' was to establish themselves as the heroes and present themselves to the outside world as victors as against those whom Asghar Khan has described as leaders with a defeatist mentality.
		A real risk inherent in the present situation is the possible emergence of a Taliban-like crade in Pakistan out of the ranks of the volunteers who have reportedly been fighting shoulder to shoulder with the kashmiri freedom-fighters in the occupied state.

		The ISI and Pakistan army were very grieved due to non-participation of youths of Jammu, Ladakh, Kargil, Astor, Baltistan and Gilgit in the so-called freedom war and Jehad (crusade) on ISI's instigation.
		Pakistanis are not happy with this, as they wanted that wild animals and jackals should eat the dead bodies of NLI soldiers, so that they could continuously deny their martyrdom and valour.
		We therefore appeal the UN and UNSC to bring the Kargil culprits to justice by declaring General Musharraf, General Mohammad Aziz (planner), General Zia - ud - Din the then ISI Chief and Rafiq Tarar president of Pakistan as war criminals by summoning Ex P.M. Nawaz Sharif and NLI kins for testimony.

		The back-channel diplomacy adopted by the government during the Kargil operation had come close to an agreement by June 25, but Indians were not ready for time-bound negotiations on Kashmir, revealed Foreign Minister Sartaj Aziz on Friday.
		The other objective, he said, was to highlight the Kashmir issue and the Kargil operation drew the world attention towards the freedom struggle to the extent it had not got before.
		The massive build-up of Indians in Kargil highlighted that even after committing half of its army in Kashmir to subjugate the freedom fighters for as many as 10 years, they failed to suppress the struggle, he added.
