  • Kargil Operation 1999
    KARGIL OPERATION 1999 The Kargil War, also known as the Kargil conflict was an armed conflict between India and Pakistan that took place between May and July 1999 in the Kargil district of Kashmir and elsewhere along the Line of Control (LOC). In India, the conflict is also referred to as Operation Vijay which was the name of the Indian operation to clear the Kargil sector.The war is the most recent example of high-altitude warfare in mountainous terrain, and as such posed significant logistical problems for the combating sides.The cause of the war was the infiltration of Pakistani soldiers disguised as Kashmiri militants into positions on the Indian side of the LOC which serves as the border between the two states. During the initial stages of the war, Pakistan blamed the fighting entirely on independent Kashmiri insurgents, but documents left behind by casualties and later statements by Pakistan's Prime Minister and Chief of Army Staff showed involvement of Pakistani paramilitary forces led by General Ashraf Rashid. The Indian Army, later supported by the Indian Air Force, recaptured a majority of the positions on the Indian side of the LOC infiltrated by the Pakistani troops and militants. Facing international diplomatic opposition, the Pakistani forces withdrew from the remaining Indian positions along the LOC. There were three major phases to the Kargil War. First, Pakistan infiltrated forces into the Indian-controlled section of Kashmir and occupied strategic locations enabling it to bring NH1 within range of its artillery fire. The next stage consisted of India discovering the infiltration and mobilising forces to respond to it.

RADHIKA GUPTA MAX PLANCK INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY OF RELIGIOUS & ETHNIC DIVERSITY THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING LADAKHI: AFFECT AND ARTIFICE IN KARGIL Ladakh often tends to be associated predominantly with its Tibetan Buddhist inhabitants in the wider public imagination both in India and abroad. It comes as a surprise to many that half the population of this region is Muslim, the majority belonging to the Twelver Shi‘i sect and living in Kargil district. This article will discuss the importance of being Ladakhi for Kargili Shias through an ethnographic account of a journey I shared with a group of cultural activists from Leh to Kargil.

  • Ginger: a Khotanese Loanword in Modern Purik-Tibetan
    GINGER: A KHOTANESE LOANWORD IN MODERN PURIK-TIBETAN ROLAND BIELMEIER (BERN) In the eighties and nineties of the last century Ronald E. Emmerick and I used to exchange letters and emails from time to time on language contact between Khotanese and Tibetan. It is now some fourteen years since I informed him in 1997 that I had found that the Khotanese word for ‘ginger’ is still in use today in certain varieties of modern Purik-Tibetan. It was his teacher, Harold W. Bailey, who apud ROSS 1952: 15 first pointed out that the Khotanese word ttuṃgara- ‘ginger’ was borrowed into Written Tibetan (WT) as doṅ gra. This is mentioned by Emmerick in his contribution to the Gedenkschrift for Giuseppe Tucci (EMMERICK 1985: 313 [13]), where he added that in chapter 2.17 of Ravigupta’s Siddhasāra Khotanese “ttāṃgare corresponds to Sanskrit nāgara and to Tibetan li doṅ gra. li in the Tibetan li doṅ gra designates Khotan, as pointed out by B. LAUFER, TP, 1916, 455-6, n.1.” For more details, especially further variants of the Khotanese word see BAILEY 1979: 130, where he proposed an Indo-European etymology deriving it from “*tuvam-kara-, with *tuva- ‘swollen, tuber, rhizome’, hence the ginger root, to base tau-: tu- ‘to swell’”. This etymological analysis is unreplaced up to now. Due to the addition of WT li abbreviated for WT li yul ‘Khotan’, there can hardly be any doubt that Tibetan has borrowed from Khotanese and not vice versa. In the BTC (2779a), at present the most comprehensive Tibetan dictionary containing material from Classical as well as from Modern Written Tibetan, li doṅ gra is explained as sga dmar gyi miṅ gźan źig (a different name for red ginger).

I refer readers to the full conference report by Monisha Ahmed and John Bray, but wish to congratulate all in the IALS and on the ground in Ladakh as well as Jammu & Kashmir who helped make the conference such a success. The conference sparked lively debate in the IALS about topics including but not limited to the constitution, conference venues, future IALS commitments, and publications. As editor of Ladakh Studies and keenly interested in the future of IALS publications, I will mention some key concerns that arose during the conference and that will no doubt be subject of discussion at Aberdeen. The IALS Executive and Advisory Committee held a meeting before the conference began to discuss among other issues, sales of current IALS publications and Ladakh Studies in Ladakh, India, and the wider world.

  • Capture of Tiger Hill (Op Vijay-1999)
    No. 07/2019 AN INDIAN ARMY PUBLICATION July 2019 CAPTURE OF TIGER HILL (OP VIJAY-1999) GRENADIERS was tasked to capture Tiger Hill, one of the prominent features in the Drass Sub-Sector. The initial attack was led by Captain Sachin Nimbalkar and Lieutenant 18Balwan Singh, with a Section of ‘D’ Company and the Ghatak Platoon in a multi directional attack. The team stealthily approached Tiger Hill and took the enemy by surprise. Lieutenant Balwan Singh along with Havildar Madan Lal gallantly led the Section and pressed forward against heavy odds. The Section approached and engaged the Pakistani bunkers on Tiger Hill Top. During this fight Havildar Madan Lal got severe injuries but still continued to press forward. The individual showed extraordinary courage and exemplary junior leadership and was awarded Vir Chakra (Posthumously). Lieutenant Balwan Singh in another outflanking manoeuvre took the enemy by sheer surprise as his team used cliff assault mountaineering skills to reach the top. The officer single handedly killed many Pakistani soldiers, and led his team to the top. For his leadership and unmatched gallantry, Lieutenant Balwan Singh was awarded the Maha Vir Chakra. Another prominent name associated with Tiger hill is Grenadier Yogendra Singh Yadav, who was part of the leading team of Ghatak Platoon tasked to capture Tiger Hill Top. The soldier utterly disregarded his own injury that he sustained due to enemy fire and continued to charge towards the enemy bunkers all the while firing from his rifle. He killed enemy soldiers in close combat and silenced the automatic fire. He sustained multiple bullet injuries and was in critical condition, but refused to be evacuated and continued to attack.
