| Summary/Abstract |
Disconnect between political and military leadership in India came in public view on 13 June 2005. On becoming the first Prime Minister to visit the Siachen base camp, Manmohan Singh, to the horror of the Army Headquarters said that he desired to convert the point of conflict between India and Pakistan into a symbol of peace. On return, the Prime Minister was given a comprehensive briefing at the military operations branch by the army; he has since maintained a stoic silence on the Siachen resolution, having accepted to be guided by the army's wisdom, which itself, unfortunately, has not been stellar.
