Hi Ketan,
I belong to multi generations Indian Army veteran’s family and I am too aware of the situation there. Ceasefires happen from both sides. Sometimes by mistake, sometimes for personal reasons, sometimes for strategic reasons etc.
After all, on both sides there are human beings, who take decisions on their personal capacities. In an army, just like five fingers in a palm, not everyone is the same.
The article throws a very thoughtful insight about this serious issue, acting on which, soldiers precious lives can be saved from both sides.
These incidents occur in only Kashmir so both the countries should make a deal rather than giving funny threats to each other
One telephone call prevented so many women from being widowed, children from being orphaned, although, among civilian casualties, women and children figure as well. Also saved huge mounds of expensive ammunition. I don’t think local military officers are trigger happy. It is a political decision, to start and to stop. It does not shift the boundary one inch, to the advantage of either nation. Pointless, tragic, as the larger unremitting hostility on both sides is.
Is this site a NDTV with a new name???
