  • 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.

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.

  • 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.
