Nanavatty, R K Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract Sub-conventional conflict in India primarily constitutes internal armed conflict with or without external involvement. The media plays a significant role: it reports the news, thus fulfilling the people's right to information, and it holds the government and its forces accountable. The media has a complex relationship with the army and dissident forces. Both the dissident forces and the army want to use the media: the former for publicity and the latter to keep the people informed of various developments in the campaign.

Rajagopanan, Rajeswari Pillai Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract The American policy towards Kashmir dispute has been inconsistent: from active efforts to resolve the dispute in the 1950s and 1960s, to benign neglect in the 1970s, to a more proactive approach during the early Clinton peiod, to a more nuanced but hands-off approach subsequently. The US policy on Kashmir has changed because the US approach in Kashmir has changed, from attempting to solve the complicated dispute, a broad approach, to ensuring that the conflict over Kashmir does not lead to instability and war in the region, a more narrow approach.

Publication 2009.

Kargil war: some reflections / Malik, V P   Journal Article
Malik, V P Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Kargil war was a limited war; the first of its kind after the Indo-Pak nuclear weapons tests and the Lahore Declaration. It has now become a more likely operational norm in the strategic environment where large scale capture of terrotories, forced change of regimes, and extensive military damage on the adversary are ruled out politically. It was not the first when Pakistan initiated a war; and we must no assume that it would be the last time.

Role of the Pakistan air force during the Kargil conflict / Tufail, M Kaiser   Journal Article
Tufail, M Kaiser Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract Pakistani writings on the Kargil conflict have been few and, those that have come out, largely irrelevant and, in a few cases, clearly sponsored. The role of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has been discussed off and on, but mostly disparagingly, particularly in some uninformed quarters. Here is an airman's perspective, focusing on the Indian Air Force's air operations and the PAF's position.

Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract The truth is that the Pakistani security still treats India and its own nationalists as the biggest threat. Perennially fearful of India's presence in Afghanistan, the Pakistani establishment feels it not only needs the Taliban but even nurtures them just as it nurtured elements like the Punjabi Lashkar-e Tayyeba in Kashmir.
