The Role Of Armies In The Kargil War

Kashmir is the northernmost geographical region of South Asia. It borders Pakistan and India in the Himalayan Mountains. This landscape is known for its raw natural beauty and has stood out in the history and folklore of the Indian subcontinent. At one point in time, Kashmir was aptly named "paradise on Earth". Kashmir excels at diversity. People from all over the world many different religious backgrounds and even more diverse dialects frequent the land. Today however, the Kashmir region is the center a multidimensional problem, with religious hostilities taking center stage.

Other think of the war of 1812 as the “second war of independence”. For too long were the Indian tribes treated as government possessions and were regularly assigned agent to oversee their personal affairs. They were considered to be incompetent and needed to be micromanaged. Independence is a word the Indians recognize all too well and they continue to fight for complete independence today. The United States claimed that one of its justification for the war included British violations of the provocation of Indians. The Indian access to the British was very open and the United States wanted to close that union. The federal government drafted and passed several pieces of legislation to do so. The policies are: Removal, Concentration, Allotment,

The event which impacted the ending wars between the United States Army and the Indian nations was the passing of the Dawes Act. One of the top arguments facing the government was the concept that many reformers inferred about the dream of conforming the Indians into a piece of our countries’ white culture. The Dawes Act divided reservations into sections consisting of 160 acres per family to live in; therefore, the remainder of the land would be given to the surrounding white settlements. Although the Dawes Act seemed like a great benefit for the Indians, in many instances this was not true. The Indians’ lives were greatly affected by this act; the natives as the original land owners for generations

The author’s intent for creating this document was to talk and explain in detail what occurred after the French and Indian War and how it was solved using the Treaty of Paris of 1763. He wrote in detail what were the different agreements the British, France and Spain had to under go in order to make the treaty work for the three parties involved. This document is a breakdown of historical context, which includes the principal circumstance of the time, dates and place in which the event occurred. The author furthermost linked the document from previous eras and older periods to former events that might have happened in different parts of the world. The author’s intended audiences were to students who need a source for writing a paper or just

This war’s location was in between both India and Pakistan in the Kargil District of Kashmir and along the Line of Control (LOC). The war had occurred during the months of May and July of 1999, only two years before President Clinton’s term was complete. The reason this war took place to begin with was only because of the raid of Pakistani soldiers and Kashmiri militants into positions on the Indian side of the Line of

In the seventeenth century, war between the Indians and the Europeans was common. In 1622, a group of European vigilantes were frustrated when the Indians tried to wipe out the colony of Jamestown and they destroyed the Indians of Pamunkey. There were intermittent warfare which plagued New York. Subsequent attacks on English settlements in New England by Indians in 1675-1676 led to a concerted reaction from the confederation of New England. Using the scorched-earth policy and Indian auxiliaries, Wampanoags, Narragansetts, and Nipmucks were nearly exterminated by the colonists (Schake, 2013). The imperial rivalry among England, Spain and France has Indians as the key factor. The French employed Mohawk and Abnaki

The battle of Qala-i-Jangi may have been prevented by use of the most basic techniques yielding intelligence and saving lives, this paper will show the events as they occurred analyzing the failures and the effects. November 2001, Mazar e Sharif located in Northern Afghanistan would host the bloodiest battle from 25 November 2001 through 1 December 2001. The battle took place when approximately 600 prisoners consisting of Taliban and foreign fighters, were hastily placed in the Qala-i-Jangi prison fortress. The prisoners revolted

Afzal’s death further infuriated the Kashmiri people. Yet again not only were curfews put in place by the police, but violators executed. At this point, the Kasmiri people have been subjected to 20 years of military occupation. Strides had been made – in 2014 India was going to give Kashmir and Jammu back some of their rights by allowing elections. Executing Afzal Guru seemed to reverse all of their efforts.

Lok Durd was a neimoidian general during the Clone Wars. During the war, Durd created the Defoliator, a radioactive weapon that could destroy organic life and leave inorganic material unharmed. Durd did this in hopes of getting a promotion in the Separatist military. In order to test the Defoliator, Durd traveled to the remote planet Maridun, inhabited by a peaceful Lurmen colony where he would test it on the Lurmen themselves. Upon arrival, Durd met up with Tee Watt Kaa, the leader of the lurmen, and lied to him that they were under Separatist protection to hide his true intentions. Later, Durd and his droids set up camp some distance away from the lurmen village, where they conducted the first test of the Defoliator supervized by Count Dooku.

There is very little doubt that this decade of 20th century was characterised by a very vicious strategic rivalry between the two contemporary super powers. Although the Soviet-US Enmity was the most dominant factor of this war, yet it was never fought between these two countries. One can argue that this was the only US war where not even a single US soldier received even a single bullet. With very little doubt, one can say that this US-Soviet war was actually fought between Pakistan and the USSR, where the Pakistani army was fighting to fulfil its commitments with its ally. A tussle between Kabul and Moscow finally involved an active role by Islamabad and Washington. Both Islamabad and Washington were able to rebuild their relationship a

Toward the end of the war India increased its support for Tibetan refugees and revolutionaries, some of them having settled in India, as they were fighting the same common enemy in the region.

This essay attempts to shed some light on the question: "To what extent can the Cold War be looked upon as the main event in shaping the political, economic and military schemes in India and Pakistan 1991?" It starts off by explaining the Cold War, its far reaching implications and the effect it had on two bitter neighbours, India and Pakistan. The focus of the essay then moves onto explaining the nature of the Cold War and its effect upon

To Rani, ‘people dying here, others dying there’ (cited in Butalia, 2000, p.268) was something that happened every day, it was no surprise to her. Thus, Rani’s cynical view about the future of India and Pakistan was conceivably drawn from memories of witnessing horrendous fights and strife throughout her whole life (cited in Butalia, 2000, p.268).

After the partition, the state of Kashmir happened to share borders with both Pakistan and India. Since Kashmir had a Hindu leader but a predominantly Muslim population, a conflict was inevitable. The struggle of which nation would incorporate the state led eventually to the first India-Pakistan War in 1947. The war ended in 1948 with UN interference, Kashmir joined the Republic of India, while the Pakistani Government continued to believe that the Muslim state belonged to Pakistan (The Office Historian). Saleem claims that the war, which resumed in 1965, occurred for two reasons: ‘because I dreamed Kashmir into the fantasies of our rules; furthermore, [because] I remained impure, and therefore the war was to separate me from my sins.’(Rushdie, 399) Saleem dreams about Kashmir as the idyllic Garden of Eden; his family history stems from Kashmir (Bounse, 14). Since the war had started, Saleem feels disconnected to Kashmir: ‘in our house, we were infected with the alienness of Kashmiri blood.’(Rushdie 101) The dreams reflect the nostalgic and feelings of desire for Kashmir of both Pakistan and India. Saleem claims that his entire family dies during the war of 1965 in order to purify the nation and himself. The shocking claim represents the absurdity of Pakistan to break the ceasefire and reclaim

After 1947, Pakistan felt that Pakistan is deprived because Kashmir has a majority of Muslim people and they have a right to choose their future
