Kargil imprint on India and Pakistan

Hindustan Times  

The fallout of the Kargil war, the first conflict fought by India and Pakistan under a nuclear overhang, continues to impact the security dynamics of the region even after 25 years. It is now well established that the Pakistan army, under General Pervez Musharraf, pushed India into the war by surreptitiously occupying strategic heights in Kargil sector of the Line of Control at a time when the political leadership of the two countries was engaged in efforts aimed at reaching a detente, including the signing of the Lahore Declaration in February 1999. Despite immense odds, such as a political directive not to cross the LoC, India’s Army and Air Force mounted a campaign that resulted in the eviction of Pakistani regular troops disguised as militants. The security paradigm established in the aftermath of the war has continued to shape responses by India and Pakistan to subsequent crises, and New Delhi’s posture played a key role in convincing the West that India could function as a responsible nuclear power. Kargil and subsequent developments exposed the fault line between Pakistan’s civilian governments and the security establishment, with the military playing spoiler whenever peace overtures are made by politicians.
