	1999 Kargil Conflict
		The 1999 Kargil War took place between May 8, when Pakistani forces and Kashmiri militants were detected atop the Kargil ridges and July 14 when both sides had essentially ceased their military operations.
		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.
		Unlike the earlier wars with Pakistan, this time the bringing in of the Navy at the early stages of the conflict served to hasten the end of the conflict in India's favor.

	PAKISTAN’S LESSONS FROM ITS KARGIL WAR (1999): An Analysis
		The Kargil War (1999) against India was a military misadventure of the Pakistan Army master-minded and executed by Pakistan Army’s Chief of Staff, General Pervez Musharraf and now the self-anointed President of Pakistan.
		Kargil War was master-minded and launched by General Musharraf on his own personal decision and initiative, without taking PM Nawaz Sharif into confidence or bringing him into the picture at the outset.
		The Kargil War defeat and the previous defeats of the Pakistan Army in earlier wars with India are eloquent testimony to this fact.

		As the fourth anniversary of the Kargil War goes past one hardly noticed the Indian public paying homage in remembrance to the approximate one thousand Officers and Jawans of the Indian Army who laid down their lives to uphold India’s honour and dignity.
		Evidently the bureaucratic machinery in the Ministry of Defence is not seized with the urgency and the imperatives of India’s constant war preparedness.
		Future wars would be at short notice and therefore would have to be fought with the forces in being at the start of a conflict and the weapons and equipment and logistics wherewithal available with them at that time.

		The recent intrusion of Pakistani troops and Pakistani supplied mercenaries in India's Kargil region is one more bid in a long series of failed attempts (since 1947) to gain possession of the territory of Kashmir.
		Most recently, in the wake of the Kargil invasion by these so-called "freedom fighters", the people of Kargil have overwhelmingly supported the efforts of the Indian army in ridding the region of armed inflitrators.
		Arming and training mercenary terrorists, planning their infiltration into India, aiding and abetting proxy wars in India's border states, fomenting an Islamic fundamentalist insurgency in Kashmir, and coordinating and organizing terrorist attacks in India has led to the death of tens of thousands of Indian citizens in the last decade.

	WHAT
		Gen VP Malik's book on the Kargil war was well received but as usual and as Amratya Sen observed in his book, we are "The Argumentative Indians".
		An important lesson of the Kargil war was Pakistan’s capability to obfuscate terrorists and military actions in a ‘no war no peace’ environment, which can affect India’s politico-military response in future.
		Besides the analysis of Kargil war, the book has a lot of information and comments on India’s defence planning, functioning of higher defence control organization, armed forces and politics,, media coverage of war, and Indo–Pak security relations in the post-Kargil era.

		Kargil was a conventional war, though limited, between two nuclear-armed states that did not escalate to a nuclear exchange.
		First, war between states with nuclear weapons is less likely to occur, as states fear the apocalyptic consequences of nuclear escalation.
		Second, and conversely, war is more likely to occur, precisely because the low risk of escalation makes waging war "safer." Seizing exclusively upon the fist hypothesis, some analysts have concluded that the nuclearization of South Asia has made the region safer.

		In the spring, as snows melted in the Kargil sector to the northeast of Srinagar, some 1000 or more infiltrators crossed the Line of Control from Pakistani-occupied Kashmir into the Indian side.
