The kargil war named after the land that witnessed war .the war between Pakistan and India ended up in 2 months 3 weeks and 2 days in the leadership of general ved Prakash malik, lt general Chandra sekhar, and chief army staff acm anil yashwant. The Kargil War, also known as the Kargil conflict. India defeated Pakistan so to commemorate the victory we celebrate July 26 as kargil Vijay divas which means kargil victory day. No territorial changes were there and India regained the possession. The duration of this war was from May to July . This particular operation was given the codename Operation Safed Sagar. The cause of the war was the infiltration of Pakistani troops disguised as Kashmiri militants into positions on the Indian side of the LoC, which serves as the de facto border between the two states in Kashmir. Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated on July 26 every year to commemorate the supreme sacrifices made by the Indian soldiers during the 1999 Kargil War with Pakistan. 22 years ago on this day, the brave hearts of the Indian Army, aided by the Indian Air Force, had given a crushing defeat to Pakistan in Kargil. The Indian soldiers had secured this victory after a three-month conflict that led to a loss of lives from both sides with the Indian side losing nearly 490 officers, soldiers, and jawans. In order to commemorate India's win in the war, the Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated every year on July 26. The conflict is believed to have been orchestrated by the then Pakistan army chief General Pervez Musharraf without the knowledge of the then Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif . Because the Pakistani soldiers and terrorists had positioned themselves at higher altitudes, it gave them an advantage in combat, as they could fire down at advancing Indian troops. Pakistan shot down two Indian fighter jets while another fighter jet crashed during the operation. Indian Army declared the mission successful on July 26, 1999; since then the day has been celebrated annually as Kargil Vijay Diwas.

Please answer each question on the basis of what is stated or implied in the corresponding passage. In some instances, more than one option may be the answer to the question; in such a case, please choose the option that most accurately and comprehensively answers the question. 1. In a letter written in January 1885 to his friend Pramatha Chaudhuri, Tagore spoke of the tension in his own mind between the contending forces of East and West. ‘I sometimes detect in myself,’ he remarked, ‘a background where two opposing forces are constantly in action, one beckoning me to peace and cessation of all strife, the other egging me on to battle. It is as though the restless energy and the will to action of the West were perpetually assaulting the citadel of my Indian placidity. Hence this swing of the pendulum between passionate pain and calm detachment, between lyrical abandon and philosophising between love of my country and mockery of patriotism, between an itch to enter the lists and a longing to remain wrapped in thought.’ Tagore’s mission to synthesise East and West was part personal, part civilizational. In time it also became political. In the early years of the twentieth century, the intelligentsia of Bengal was engulfed by the swadeshi movement, where protests against British rule were expressed by the burning of foreign cloth and the rejection of all things western. After an initial enthusiasm for the movement, Tagore turned against it.

    PREPAID BY CDT : SAYANA KS CDT NO : KL19SWA160110 4TH COY MTI NCC UNIT THRISSUR ARTICLE - VIJAY DIWAS INTRODUCTION : The Kargil war, also know as the kargil conflict, was an armed conflict between lndia and Pakistan that took place between May and July 1999 in the kargil district of Kashmir and else where along the line of control. There were only two combatants in the kargil war India and Pakistan. The commander ved prakash Malik represented the Indian commander and pervez Musharraf from Pakistan. India lost 527 soldiers. Pakistan lost 700 soldiers. The Kargil war took place along the Pakistan- India line of control (LOC) in ladakh, in the northern India state of Jammu and Kashmir. The infiltration of Pakistani armed forces into India Territory, led by General Ashraf Rashid initiated the conflict. The Indian army launched its final attacks in the last week of July as soon as the Drass subsector had been cleared of Pakistani forces, the fighting ceased on 26 July. The day has since been marked as kargil Vijay Diwas (kargil victory day) in India. By the end of the war, Pakistan had to withdraw under inter-national pressure and due to pressure from continued fighting at battle front and left India in control of all territory south and east of the line of control, as was established in July 1972 as per the simla Agreement. 86 EXPLANATION : After the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, there had been a long period with relatively few direct armed conflicts involving the military forces of the two neighbours – notwithstanding the efforts of both nations to control the Siachen Glacier by establishing military outposts on the surrounding mountains ridges and the resulting military skirmishes in the 1980s.

Director of Thesis: Yusuf Kalyango This study examines the framing of religion in the news coverage of a conflict between India and Pakistan which happened from May 5, 1999 and July 30, 1999 in selected U.S. news outlets. The study looks into the coverage of the conflict in seven national and regional U.S. newspapers, and three U.S. television channels. The theoretical framework of this study was framing, and the frames of reactionary depiction and partisan alignment were used to study if the news outlets framed any country or its religion like Hinduism and Islam negatively or in a partisan manner. The findings showed that the coverage of the conflict covered Pakistan and Islam negatively, and held them responsible for invading India and escalating the conflict.

  • Nuclear Stability in Sumit Ganguly South Asia
    Nuclear Stability in Sumit Ganguly South Asia On May 11 and 13, 1998, India conducted a series of five nuclear tests. Pakistan followed with six tests of its own on May 30 and 31. l These tests effectively lifted the veil of opacity that had long characterized the two countries' nuclear weapons pro- grams.2 The reactions of the global community, led by the United States, were swift and condemnatory. Policymakers and analysts alike united in issuing harsh indictments of the tests. Their misgivings were twofold: first, they ex- pressed grave concerns about the impact of these tests on the global nonprolif- eration regime; second, they argued that the tests would further destabilize an already fraught security environment in South Asia. To induce both states to eschew their nuclear weapons programs, the international community im- posed a raft of bilateral and multilateral sanctions. Simultaneously, the United States embarked on a dialogue with India and Pakistan in an attempt to con- vince them to dismantle their nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs and to reduce Indo-Pakistani tensions.3 Yet despite thirteen rounds of arduous talks, neither India nor Pakistan agreed to abandon its ongoing nuclear weapons and ballistic missile pro- grams. Worse still for nonproliferation advocates, two crises punctuated India- Pakistan relations, in 1999 and 2001-02. Indeed, the 1999 crisis erupted into a limited war.4 A decade has passed since the two adversaries crossed the nuclear Rubicon. Sumit Ganguly is a professor of political science and holds the Rabindranath Tagore Chair at Indiana Uni- versity, Bloomington. The author thanks Paul Kapur, Traci Nagle, and Praveen Swami for comments on an initial draft of this article and Manjeet Pardesi for able research assistance.
