We reach the main market of Kargil around mid noon. The clutter of shops, small offices, crowd of people, traffic and honking of cars is not only little uncomfortable but slightly difficult to adjust after spending days of seclusion in other parts of Ladakh. Ankur asks me to stay in the car while he goes to replenish our emergency food stock, as well as try to transfer the photos from my camera CF cards to CDs from one of the cyber cafes. Realized this morning that the camera bag contains only three CF cards, 1GB each and buying is ruled out as no shop sells this stuff here. Wanted to accompany him, but he seems to be quite sure that it would be an uncomfortable experience. Can't tell what exactly he means but do as told.
Sitting inside the car for almost an hour in a market place is not entirely a great experience, especially if some cop appears to say in brisk and abrupt tone, "Ask your driver to park elsewhere, there is going to be VIP movement in this area shortly."
To that reply, "Don't have a driver and the friend who is driving has left behind his cell phone, but will be back soon."
The cop frowns nastily and says, "Well...ask him to hurry."
Curb the urge to part a volley, "Sending him the message right away via telepathy!"
Not long after Ankur returns with armloads of packets and boxes of edibles but he had no luck in transferring the photos from the CF cards. For the umpteenth time since morning he tells me, "How could you be so careless as to forget something so important?"
While he was away spotted a Brogpa lady who is out for shopping in the market, could manage a hurried shot. Show it to divert his attention and avoid further rebuke!
Kargil has witnessed the power tussle between India and Pakistan in 1947-48 and in 1965, but it is the war fought between the countries recently in 1999 that catapulted it into media glare.
Some historians claim that a pioneer named Kargeel had cleared the forests in the adjoining areas to make it inhabitable before the Gilgit scion Gasho Thatha Khan captured Kargil and established his dynasty later in Chigtan around 8th-9th century. Thus, the place had derived its name, but there are other versions to contradict this.
Most of the inhabitants of Kargil are Burig (Tibetan Muslims), Balti (ethnic group from Baltistan, Pakistan), Shina (migrants from Gilgit, Pakistan) who are Shia Muslims, Arghons (descendants of immigrants from Yarkhand, China) who are Sunni Muslims, while Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists being the minorities.
An Islamic missionary Mir Shams-ud-Din Iraqi did not introduce Mohammedism in Kargil until 15th century when many of the ethnic Buddhist groups converted.
Buddhism is still though the predominant religion in some parts of Kargil district.
Kargil (8,780 feet), situated along the banks of the Suru River (Indus), is the second largest town in Ladakh (after Leh) in the state of Jammu and Kashmir in India. National Highway (NH 1D) connecting Srinagar to Leh cuts through Kargil (60 km from Dras).
As of the 2011 census, Kargil town had a population of 16,338 (9,944 in 2001) people. Today, 90% of Kargil's population are Shia Muslim. Kargil had an average literacy rate of 74.49% – male literacy at 86.73% and female literacy at 58.05%.
Tiger Hill (Point 5353), overlooking the Dras Valley on Srinagar-Leh Highway 1D, is the highest peak in this area (16500 feet) . It is the most dominating feature in Dras Valley with its sharp conical features. It became famous during mid 1999 due to invasion and capturing of surrounding tops by the Mujaheddin with the help of Pakistani army which led to a war from Indian army to recapture the territories back from the intruders. Tiger Hill became the symbol of the Indian victory in the Kargil war. Indian Armed forces involved to recapture the Tiger Hill were from the 18 Grenadiers, 2 Naga and the 8 Sikh Regiment. it was one of the costliest operations for the Indian forces in the entire conflict, with casualties of nearly forty personnel killed and nearly a hundred wounded in the entire operation.
The Kargil War of 1999, codenamed Operation Vijay by the Indian Army, saw infiltration by Pakistani troops into parts of Western Ladakh, namely Dras, Kargil and Batalik sectors, overlooking key locations on the Srinagar-Leh highway. Extensive operations were launched in high altitudes by the Indian Army on May 20, 1999. Pakistani troops were evicted from the Indian side of the Line of Control which the Indian government ordered was to be respected and which was not crossed by Indian troops.
The recapture of Tololing was one of the most crucial tasks undertaken by the Indian Army during 'Operation Vijay'. Due to its height of over 15,000 ft and its proximity to NH 1D, Tololing is considered one of the most important features of the Kargil-Dras sector. From this height, the intruders, entrenched at safe heights, could observe movement on the Indian side and also disrupt traffic on NH 1D, thereby dominating the entire area. The Indian soldiers were at a disadvantage who had no cover from the onslaught of intruder's bullets and artillery. The initial task of recapturing the height was handed over to 18 Grenadiers who commenced operations on the 21st May 1999. On the night of the final assault (12th June 1999), 2 RAJ RIF was brought in to take advantage of the inroads made by the Grenadiers. They launched a multi directional attack on the Tololing height. After fierce hand to hand encounters, on the early morning of 13th June 1999, Indian soldiers recaptured Tololing.
With initial disaster of one MiG-27 and a MiG-21 on May 26, Mi-17 gunship helicopter units of the Indian Air Force (152 HU - The Mighty Armour and 129 HU - The Nubra Warriors) successfully assaulted the Pakistani intruders on mountainous heights at Tiger Hill complex and Tololing Ridge on subsequent days (26th, 27th and 28th May). On May 28, when Nubra-3, one of the four gunships of Nubra Warriors, was shot down, Indian Air Force withdrew gunships and stopped all air operations. Without air support and as the intruders safely lodged in crevices and bunkers, it was a difficult battle to win.
In contemporary terms this was an expensive war. The Indian forces suffered numerable losses through militarily suicidal missions which left, officially, 413 Indian soldiers killed and 584 injured. Between the Pakistani Army and Mujaheddin 696 fell though there was no official record. The Indian government was criticized by the Indian public because India respected geographical co-ordinates more than India's opponents by not crossing the actual Line of Control. In introspection, intelligence failure and the impatience at the decision-making level in the government occasioned by the political need to conclude operations quickly, led to the army losing many of its men in near-impossible missions.

The Kargil War (Hindi: कारगिल युद्ध kārgil yuddh, Urdu: کارگل جنگ kārgil jang), also known as the Kargil conflict,[note (I)] was an armed conflict between India and Pakistan that took place between May and July 1999 in the Kargil district of Kashmir and elsewhere along the Line of Control (LOC). The conflict is also referred to as Operation Vijay (Victory in Hindi) which was the name of the Indian operation to clear the Kargil sector.
The cause of the war was the infiltration of Pakistani soldiers and Kashmiri militants into positions on the Indian side of the LOC, which serves as the de facto border between the two states. During the initial stages of the war, Pakistan blamed the fighting entirely on independent Kashmiri insurgents, but documents left behind by casualties and later statements by Pakistan's Prime Minister and Chief of Army Staff showed involvement of Pakistani paramilitary forces, led by General Ashraf Rashid. The Indian Army, later on supported by the Indian Air Force, recaptured a majority of the positions on the Indian side of the LOC infiltrated by the Pakistani troops and militants. With international diplomatic opposition, the Pakistani forces withdrew from the remaining Indian positions along the LOC.
The war is one of the most recent examples of high altitude warfare in mountainous terrain, which posed significant logistical problems for the combating sides. To date, it is also the only instance of direct, conventional warfare between nuclear states (i.e., those possessing nuclear weapons). India had conducted its first successful test in 1974; Pakistan, which had been developing its nuclear capability in secret since around the same time, conducted its first known tests in 1998, just two weeks after a second series of tests by India.
Kargil War memorial, built by the Indian Army, is located in Dras, in the foothills of the Tololing Hill. The memorial, located about 5 km from the city centre across the Tiger Hill, commemorates the martyrs of the Kargil War. A poem by Harivansh Rai Bachchan, father of veteran Bollywood actor, Amitabh Bachchan is inscribed on the gateway of the memorial greets visitors. The names of the soldiers who lost their lives in the War are inscribed on the Memorial Wall and can be read by visitors. A museum attached to the Kargil War Memorial, which was established to celebrate the victory of ‘Operation Vijay’, houses pictures of Indian soldiers, archives of important war documents and recordings, Pakistani war equipments and gear, and official emblems of the Army from the Kargil war.
A giant national flag, weighing 15 kg was hoisted at the Kargil war memorial to commemorate the 13th anniversary of India’s victory in the war.
