	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.

		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.
