CULTURAL QA 03202401

Q3      Can you tell an incident occurred during kargil war?

KR       From where one to one data classified were made available
exclusively to QUORA the learned world renowned writer? The whole fact is
so simple:

Conflict events

Date (1999)                             Event



3 May        A Pakistani intrusion in the Kargil district is reported by
local shepherds.

5 May        Indian Army patrols are sent out in response to earlier
reports; 5 Indian soldiers are captured and subsequently killed.

9 May        Heavy shelling by the Pakistan Army damages Indian ammunition
dumps in Kargil.

10 May      Multiple infiltrations across the LoC are confirmed in Dras,
Kaksar, and Mushkoh sectors.

Mid-May    India moves in more soldiers from the Kashmir Valley to Kargil
district.

26 May      The Indian Air Force (IAF) begins airstrikes against suspected
infiltrator positions.

27 May      One IAF MiG-21 and one MiG-27 aircraft are shot down by Anza
surface-to-air missiles of the Pakistan Army's Air Defence Corps;[63] Flt.
Lt. Kambampati Nachiketa (pilot of the MiG-27) is captured by a Pakistani
patrol and given POW status (released on 3 June 1999).

28 May      One IAF Mi-17 is shot down by Pakistani forces; four crew
members are killed.

1 June       The Pakistan Army begins shelling operations on India's
National Highway 1 in Kashmir and Ladakh.



5 June       India releases documents recovered from three Pakistani
soldiers that officially indicate Pakistan's involvement in the conflict.

6 June       The Indian Army begins a major offensive in Kargil.

9 June       Indian troops re-capture two key positions in the Batalik
sector.

11 June     India releases intercepts of conversations between Pakistani
COAS Gen. Pervez Musharraf (on a visit to China) and CGS Lt. Gen. Aziz Khan
(in Rawalpindi) as proof of the Pakistan Army's involvement in the
infiltrations.

13 June     Indian forces secure Tololing in Dras after a fierce battle
with militias backed by Pakistani troops.

15 June     United States President Bill Clinton forces then Prime Minister
of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif to immediately pull all Pakistani troops and
irregulars out from Kargil.

29 June     Under pressure from their government, Pakistani forces begin
their retreat from Indian-administered Kashmir and the Indian Army advances
towards Tiger Hill.

4 July Three Indian regiments (Sikh, Grenadiers and Naga) engage elements
of the remaining Pakistani Northern Light Infantry regiment in the Battle
of Tiger Hill. The region is recaptured by Indian forces after more than 12
hours of fighting.

5 July Nawaz Sharif officially announces the Pakistan Army's withdrawal
from Kargil following a meeting with President Clinton. Indian forces
subsequently take control of Dras.

7 July Indian troops recapture Jubar Heights in Batalik.

11 July      Pakistani forces disengage from the region; India retakes key
peak points in Batalik.

14 July      Prime Minister of India Atal Bihari Vajpayee declares
Operation Vijay a success. The Indian government sets conditions for talks
with Pakistan.

26 July      Kargil War officially comes to an end. Indian Army announces
the complete withdrawal of Pakistani irregular and regular forces.

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. The final stage
involved major battles by Indian and Pakistani forces resulting in India
recapturing most of the territories[64][65] held by Pakistani forces and
the subsequent withdrawal of Pakistani forces back across the LOC after
international pressure.

Following the outbreak of armed fighting, Pakistan sought American help in
de-escalating the conflict. Bruce Riedel, who was then an aide to President
Bill Clinton, reported that US intelligence had imaged Pakistani movements
of nuclear weapons to forward deployments for fear of the Kargil
hostilities escalating into a wider conflict. However, President Clinton
refused to intervene until Pakistan had removed all forces from the Indian
side of the LOC.

Following the Washington accord of 4 July 1999, when Sharif agreed to
withdraw Pakistani troops, most of the fighting came to a gradual halt, but
some Pakistani forces remained in positions on the Indian side of the LoC.
In addition, the United Jihad Council (an umbrella for extremist groups)
rejected Pakistan's plan for a climb-down, instead deciding to fight
on.[102]

The Indian army launched its final attacks in the last week of July in
co-ordination with relentless attacks by the IAF, both by day and night, in
their totally successful Operation Safed Sagar; 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. In the wake of its successive military defeats in Kargil,
diplomatic isolation in the international arena, its precarious economic
situation, and the mounting international pressure, the Pakistani
establishment was compelled to negotiate a face saving withdrawal from the
residual areas on the Indian side of the LoC, thereby restoring the
sanctity of the LoC, as was established in July 1972 as per the Simla
Agreement

A number of Indian soldiers earned awards for gallantry.[115] Four Param
Vir Chakras and 11 Maha Vir Chakras were awarded.[116]

'gopala krishnan' via KeralaIyers06:25 (2 hours ago)to 'N

Dear Mr Sekar,

Mr Tiny Nair is a renowned cardiologist. He is world famous cardiologist,
submitted many papers, and represent Kerala in world meets of cardiologists.

Yesterday Mr Rajaram made a response" Mr Tiny Nair has to learn more" .

Thank you for reading the posting and responding.

Gopalakrishnan

KR       Mr Gopalkrishnan regards to Dr Tiny Nair is unquestionable but
please remember that he is a good doctor who wrote about 80 incidents as a
book and such operations are done by all the 5538 cardiac specialist in
India. The world-famous Cardio are listed and ranked and within 10 he is
not seen whereas there are Indians other than him. I have no personal spike
with the doctor of PRS Hospital founded by an engineer. His way of
expressions can be seen in YouTube. All those still world not make him
cross Quora. Thank you K Rajaram IRS  1324

NB; I do not write like Mr Gopalakrishnan without verifying the data.  And
