  • 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.

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.

Ladakh never ceases to surprise and compels a one-off tourist to come again and yet again. Within it lies living testimony to the supremely powerful natural forces that shaped the Himalayas. Sparsely populated by intensely spiritual people who embrace one and all with their warmth, Ladakh spans the Himalayan & Karakoram ranges. The mighty Indus brings icy calm to the environs while its tributary Suru offers no less. Ladakh is rich not only in culture but also in hydel potential. Downstream of Nimo-Bazgo HEP, five projects have been identified with an estimated capacity of 760 MW, substantial enhancement over the earlier assessed potential of 180 MWs.

  • On Possible Dardic and Burushaski Influence on Some Northwestern Tibetan Dialects
    Anton Kogan Institute of Oriental Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow; [email protected] On possible Dardic and Burushaski influence on some Northwestern Tibetan dialects The Northwestern fringe of the Tibetan-speaking area, now forming a part of the Jammu and Kashmir state of India and of Pakistani-controlled Northern Areas, was in the past an area of intensive ethnic and language contact. This contact resulted in the linguistic assimilation of the local pre-Tibetan population by the Tibetans. More than a century ago it was hypothe- sized that this pre-Tibetan population may have spoken a certain Dardic language. The arti- cle attempts to check this hypothesis through the etymological analysis of the vocabulary of Northwestern Tibetan dialects. The results of this analysis suggest the existence of a signifi- cant Indo-Iranian, probably Dardic, lexical stratum, as well as of numerous lexemes bor- rowed from some early form of Burushaski. The author seeks to define the dialectal distribu- tion of Indo-Iranian and Burushaski loanwords in the area under study. Keywords: language contact; linguistic substratum; Tibetan dialects; Ladakhi language; Balti language; Purik language; Dardic languages; Burushaski language. Introduction It is well known that the now vast and extensive Tibetan-speaking area came into being at a comparatively recent date, i.e. in the 7th–9th centuries. Its formation was the result of the ex- pansion of the Tibetan Empire and of the subsequent spread of the Tibetan language into originally non-Tibetan territories. This fact suggests that the existence of pre-Tibetan substrata in different groups of Tibetan dialects may be hypothesized.

  • Rare– Day 57 Synopsis 2021
    RaRe– Day 57 Synopsis 2021 1. What are the circumstances under which President’s rule can be imposed in a state? Has the executive misused these provisions of late? Critically examine. Approach Define what is presidential rule in introduction.Then address what are the situations in which it can be imposed.In next part write how this provision has been misused by executives over the years.In next part write a reform based conclusion or a way forward which involves recommendations from committees. Introduction: President’s rule refers to the suspension of state government and imposition of direct central government rule in a state. Article 356, which deals with president’s rule, was adopted by the Constituent Assembly bearing in mind the abnormal conditions the country was passing through like communal riots, refugee influx, the Telangana armed rebellion and much else. Body Grounds for imposition of President’s rule • Article 356 states that President rule can be imposed in any state on grounds of failure of Constitutional Machinery, and failure is of two types:- • If President on receipt of report by Governor of a State or otherwise is satisfied that a situation has arisen in which govt of that state can’t be carried in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution then President Rule can be imposed. • Article 365 states that every state shall comply with all directions given by Union on matters it empowers to do so. If any state fails to comply with directions of union then President Rule can be imposed. In practice, president’s rule has been imposed under any one of the following different circumstances: • A state legislature is unable to elect a leader as chief minister for a time prescribed by the Governor of that state.

  • History Writing in Urdu: Hashmatu'l-Lah Khan, Kacho
    daniela bredi History Writing in Urdu: Hashmatu’l-Lah Khan, Kacho Sikandar Khan Sikandar, and the History of the Kargil District In the field of historiography, Urduís contribution does not appear as valuable as in literature, even though it is the first indigenous language, in the modern era, to undertake the production of historical writings. The reasons are manifold: the circumstances of the beginning of modern history writing in this language; its suitability, which some ques- tion, as a medium for history writing; its sharing of the Indo-Muslim tradi- tion of historiography, which up to the first half of the twentieth century did not draw from historyís raw materials (official papers, archeological remains, inscriptions, coins) but only from the works of preceding historians (Hardy 1960, 1–4). Urdu emerged as a language able to produce works of history at the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth centuries, when English historiography was introduced in India. Urdu historiogra- phy, therefore, developed at the time of the decline of Indo-Persian and the emergence of Western historiography. As early as the period preced- ing the founding of Fort St. George College in Madras, Fort William College in Calcutta, and the Delhi College, a few works of an historical nature can be found written in Urdu. From these specimensówhether speaking about original works or translations or abridged translations of histories in Persianóone finds that this type of work was usually under- taken on commission, often from English officials, and the topics dealt with were always related to India, understood both in its totality and in its regional particularities.
