Jammu and Kashmir is a union territory in northern India. It comprises two major regions: Jammu and the Kashmir Valley. A third region, Ladakh, along with Jammu and Kashmir, was a part of the state of Jammu and Kashmir until 2019. After the abrogation of Article 370, the state was broken into two: Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh. The region is known for breathtaking landscapes with a history going back to the Indus Valley Civilization, with evidence of various empires — Gandhara, Mauryan, Kushan, Gupta, Mughal, and Dogra — ruling the area.
The region has been a bone of contention between India and Pakistan since its 1947 accession to India. The two countries fought a war that resulted in the establishment of the Line of Control (LoC) and divided the region into Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan-administered Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. Both Pakistan and China claim portions of Indian-administered Kashmir and Ladakh regions. It has been marred with violent incidents of militancy, which gained momentum in the 1980s and 1990s. The situation, fuelled by various grievances including political alienation, human rights abuses, and economic disparities, has resulted in prolonged conflict and counterinsurgency operations by security forces.
First how are militants sneaking in, when we have Israeli laser, IR camera ps and siesmic sensors? Why don’t we resume a Kuka Parrey kind of militia to improve the kill ratio…why are so many Pakistani militants sneaking in ? How does a country protect its sovereignty when its borders are porous? Do we need to change the demography on the border districts? We can see militants on the launch pads in POK, gathered and ready, why don’t we use Apache gunships or PInaka 2 to take them out with precision ? Are we afraid of this being an escalation and Pakistani reaction? Pakistan is slowly bleeding us anyway. Why not escalate anyway and tackle the Pakistani reaction….why not spend money for informers on identifying and neutralising militants
Stop calling them militants. They are terrorists and should be addressed as such.
Very well done brave hearts.
