The distribution of Bufotes latastii, a diploid green toad species, is analyzed based on field observations and literature data. 74 localities are known, although 7 ones should be confirmed. The range of B. latastii is confined to northern Pakistan, Kashmir Valley and western Ladakh in India. All records of “green toads” (“Bufo viridis”) beyond this region belong to other species, both to green toads of the genus Bufotes or to toads of the genus Duttaphrynus. B. latastii is endemic to the Western Himalaya. Its allopatric range lies between those of bisexual triploid green toads in the west and in the east. B. latastii was found at altitudes from 780 to 3200 m above sea level. Environmental niche modelling was applied to predict the potential distribution range of the species. Altitude was the variable with the highest percent contribution for the explanation of the species distribution (36 %). urn:lSid:zOobank.Org:pub:0C76EE11-5D11-4FAB-9FA9-918959833BA5 INTRODUCTION Bufotes latastii (fig. 1) iS a relatively cOmmOn green toad species which spreads in KaShmir Valley, Ladakh and adjacent regiOnS Of nOrthern India and PakiStan.

From agriculture to food security, nutrition, land and natural resource management, domestic care and work, rural women are at the forefront and are taking charge by being in the driver's seat. The International Day of Rural Women was created in 1995 by Civil society organizations at the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing and was declared an official UN Day in 2007 by the UN General Assembly. From agriculture to food security, nutrition, land and natural resource management, domestic care and work, rural women are at the forefront. The theme for this International Day of Rural Women is “Building rural women’s resilience in the wake of COVID-19,” to create awareness of these women’s struggles, their needs, and their critical and key role in our society.

  • 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.

  • Pakistan S Strategic Blunder at Kargil, by Brig Gurmeet
    Pakistan’s Strategic Blunder at Kargil Gurmeet Kanwal Cause of Conflict: Failure of 10 Years of Proxy War India’s territorial integrity had not been threatened seriously since the 1971 War as it was threatened by Pakistan’s ill-conceived military adventure across the Line of Control (LoC) into the Kargil district of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) in the summer months of 1999. By infiltrating its army soldiers in civilian clothes across the LoC, to physically occupy ground on the Indian side, Pakistan added a new dimension to its 10-year-old ‘proxy war’ against India. Pakistan’s provocative action compelled India to launch a firm but measured and restrained military operation to clear the intruders. Operation ‘Vijay’, finely calibrated to limit military action to the Indian side of the LoC, included air strikes from fighter-ground attack (FGA) aircraft and attack helicopters. Even as the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force (IAF) employed their synergised combat potential to eliminate the intruders and regain the territory occupied by them, the government kept all channels of communication open with Pakistan to ensure that the intrusions were vacated quickly and Pakistan’s military adventurism was not allowed to escalate into a larger conflict. On July 26, 1999, the last of the Pakistani intruders was successfully evicted. Why did Pakistan undertake a military operation that was foredoomed to failure? Clearly, the Pakistani military establishment was becoming increasingly frustrated with India’s success in containing the militancy in J&K to within manageable limits and saw in the Kashmiri people’s open expression of their preference for returning to normal life, the evaporation of all their hopes and desires to bleed India through a strategy of “a thousand cuts”.

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.

  • GEOLOGICAL SETTING C H Ap Ter II
    Chapter EH GEOLOGICAL SETTING C h ap ter II GEOLOGICAL SETTING Introduction : The Dras-Kargil area, which has been studied during the course of the present investigation, constitutes a part of the Ladakh Himalaya. It falls within the Indus-Tsangpo Suture Zone which for brevity is hereafter referred to as the Indus Suture Zone. In this chapter the geology of Ladakh is briefly reviewed and the field characteristics of the varied lithological units occuring in the Dras- Kargil area are detailed. Tectonic Framework of Ladakh: In the Kashmir region of northwestern Himalaya the NE-SW trending Indus Suture Zone lies between the Ladakh Range and the Zanskar Mountains. The tectonic framework and stratigraphy of this region has been described amongst others, by Thakur (1981), Honegger et al. (1982), Searle (1983). Three lithotectonic units, namely, the Zanskar Zone, the Indus Suture Zone and the Ladakh Plutonic Complex are recognised from the southwest to northeast in the Ladakh region. To the northeast of the Ladakh Plutonic Complex lies the Shyok Suture Zone and the Karakorum Batholith. To the southwest of the Zanskar Zone is the Central Crystalline Zone of the Higher Himalaya. The spatial 7 distribution of these tectonic zones is shown in the regional geological map (Fig.2.1) which has been modified after Thakur (1981). The tectono-stratigraphy of the Ladakh Himalaya, as reconstructed by Thakur (1981, op. cit.), is given in Table 2.1. It is to be noted that in this table Thakur has shown the Ladakh Plutonic Complex to be a part of the Indus Suture Zone; a position that is not generally accepted.

  • January Was a Momentous Event
    EDITOR’S NOTE The last three months have been as significant as any in the recent history of our country. The year 2014 ended with the drawdown of US-NATO forces from Afghanistan with many opining that the ‘job’ was only half done or less. There are legitimate fears of instability in the region that could spill over to other parts of South Asia and Central Asia. India is naturally concerned that the situation does not take an ugly turn that will be of detriment to us. The internal and external pulls and pressures are many that encompass terrorism, trade, diplomacy and power politics. The situation merits continuous monitoring for some time to come. Some contingency planning will also be in order. The visit of President Obama in January was a momentous event. Apart from the fact that he was the first US president to be the chief guest at our Republic Day parade, the visit signalled that the strategic partnership was well on track. There was the very apparent bonhomie between the leaders of the two countries and the mutual understanding on a host of different issues, including the “vision document”, was clearly noted by our friends and possible adversaries. President Obama’s commitment to support our “Make in India” programme was very welcome and so was the desire for furtherance of the Defence Trade and Technology Initiative. However, the Americans, once again, were insistent on our signing the three “foundation pacts” viz the Logistics Support Agreement (LSA), Communication Interoperability and Security Memorandum Agreement (CISMOA) and Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement for Geo-spatial Cooperation (BECA).
