witnessed three full scale wars (1948,1965 and 1971), two Martial laws (1958,
1969) and had lost its eastern wing (East Pakistan).
• It remained aligned with the West and signed many treaties (SEATO in 1954,
CENTO in 1955, Alignment with Turkey in 1954) mainly due to its insecurities
towards neighboring India.

Afghanistan Crisis 1979-1989
In the bottom half of the decade, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, the country’s first
elected prime minister was overthrown in a military coup and was
hanged by General Zia al-Haq's regime. The democratic government
was replaced by the country’s third martial law. Pakistan was feeling
isolated, shunned by its friends and the world community and was
facing Washington’s India centric approach and discriminatory
sanctions. But two major happenings brought it back in limelight i.e.
The Iran revolution and The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979.

Siachen Glacier Dispute 1984
A By-Product of the Kashmir Conflict
Introduction
• Located in Eastern Karakoram range in Himalaya mountains, and is the largest one
• Northeast to point NJ9842
• Second largest outside the polar region
• Largest single source of fresh water
• There are three main passes: Sia La, Bilafond la & Gyong La
• The zone of conflict comprised an inverted triangle resting on NJ9842
History
• Cease-Fire line agreement signed by both the country in 1949
• Before the conflict began, Siachen was a no man’s area
• International expeditions sought authorization from Pakistan to visit Siachen’s nearby mountain peaks
• Siachen was shown in Pakistan in international maps and guides
• India’s protest against the cartography
Operation Meghdoot
• Code name of Indian army’s operation to capture the glacier
• Launched on 13 April 1984
Pakistan’s Retaliation
• Launched counter-attack in 1987 headed by Brig. Pervez Musharraf
• Managed to capture few high points before being pushed back
• Assaulted again unsuccessfully in 1989
• Ground position remained and is still the same
Strategic Importance, Interpretations, Claims,
Advantages, Current Status & Views
Pakistan
 Siachen is strategically important for Pakistan because
Karakoram highway between China and Pakistan is very
close to Siachen
 Pakistan’s Interpretation: Their territory continue from
NJ9842 to Karakoram pass
 Pakistan claims that the line joins point NJ9842 with the
Karakoram Pass that lies towards the Northeast, putting
Siachen within Pakistan’s territory
 Pakistan holds a logistic advantage since its farthest post
is only 20km away from the road-head
 Pakistan control Gyong La pass that overlook India’s
access to Leh District
 Pakistan is of the view that the conflict should be
resolved through talks but is against the demarcation
India
 It can be an entry point in Kashmir, for both Chinese and
Pakistani troops, even though it is very difficult due to
weather conditions
 Indian interpretation: Pakistan’s territory extended only
to Saltoro Ridge
 India claims that the LOC runs from point NJ9842 along
the watersheds formed by the Saltoro ridge that puts
the entire Siachen glacier within Indian territory
 India controls some of the top most heights holding
onto the tactical advantage but the same factor is a
logistic disadvantage.
 Currently India holds entire 75km of Siachen glacier
along with Sia La and Bilafond La
 India is of the view that both the nations should jointly
demarcate the current troop positions in the region
Talks& Proposals
 Year after India took over the glacier the talks started.
 Between 1986 and 1998, there were 7 rounds of talks
between the 2 countries in search of a solution. At one
time it seemed as if agreement was near on
redeployment and the creation of a zone of tranquility,
but the political climate changed and the moment was
lost.
 After cease fire agreement 2003, no single bullet has
been fired directly at each other's posts
 Number of proposals have been made to resolve the
problem including,
Declaring the area a peace park
Joint patrolling of the region
International peace keeping force being deployed in the
region
End Note
 At present, with a million armed men facing each other across the Kashmir
border, talk of ending the fighting and of peace parks seems remote. But the
dawn always comes after the darkest period: perhaps there will also be a dawn
for the Siachen.
On 7 April 2012, an avalanche hit a Pakistani military base in Gayari Sector, near the Siachen
Glacier region, trapping 140 soldiers and civilian contractors...
Confidence-Building Measures
Confidence-building measures or confidence- and security-building measures are actions taken
to reduce fear of attack by both parties in a situation of conflict.
In international relations, it’s an action that reflects goodwill toward or a willingness to exchange
information with an adversary. The purpose of such measures is to decrease misunderstanding,
tension, fear, anxiety, and conflict between two or more parties by emphasizing trust and limiting
conflict escalation as a form of preventive diplomacy. Confidence-building measures have
traditionally been discussed in connection with wars, national security, and peacekeeping and are
now relevant within political and diplomatic spheres.
Basic Objectives of CBMs
 To eliminate the causes of tensions.
 To promote confidence and contribute to stability and security.
 To reduce the danger of armed conflict arising from misunderstanding or miscalculation.

Strategic Importance, Interpretations, Claims, Advantages, Current Status & Views Pakistan  Siachen is strategically important for Pakistan because Karakoram highway between China and Pakistan is very close to Siachen  Pakistan’s Interpretation: Their territory continue from NJ9842 to Karakoram pass  Pakistan claims that the line joins point NJ9842 with the Karakoram Pass that lies towards the Northeast, putting Siachen within Pakistan’s territory  Pakistan holds a logistic advantage since its farthest post is only 20km away from the road-head  Pakistan control Gyong La pass that overlook India’s access to Leh District  Pakistan is of the view that the conflict should be resolved through talks but is against the demarcation India  It can be an entry point in Kashmir, for both Chinese and Pakistani troops, even though it is very difficult due to weather conditions  Indian interpretation: Pakistan’s territory extended only to Saltoro Ridge  India claims that the LOC runs from point NJ9842 along the watersheds formed by the Saltoro ridge that puts the entire Siachen glacier within Indian territory  India controls some of the top most heights holding onto the tactical advantage but the same factor is a logistic disadvantage.  Currently India holds entire 75km of Siachen glacier along with Sia La and Bilafond La  India is of the view that both the nations should jointly demarcate the current troop positions in the region
  • 19. Talks& Proposals  Year after India took over the glacier the talks started.  Between 1986 and 1998, there were 7 rounds of talks between the 2 countries in search of a solution.

  • 20. End Note  At present, with a million armed men facing each other across the Kashmir border, talk of ending the fighting and of peace parks seems remote. But the dawn always comes after the darkest period: perhaps there will also be a dawn for the Siachen.

  • 22. Confidence-Building Measures Confidence-building measures or confidence- and security-building measures are actions taken to reduce fear of attack by both parties in a situation of conflict. In international relations, it’s an action that reflects goodwill toward or a willingness to exchange information with an adversary. The purpose of such measures is to decrease misunderstanding, tension, fear, anxiety, and conflict between two or more parties by emphasizing trust and limiting conflict escalation as a form of preventive diplomacy. Confidence-building measures have traditionally been discussed in connection with wars, national security, and peacekeeping and are now relevant within political and diplomatic spheres.
