I have added the viewpoint of a vast community, which think that Hamid Mir is doing what is against the interest of Pakistan and its people. So kindly do not try to eliminate this view point. (This viewpoint has its own arguments and proofs). Otherwise, this will become a self-praised article, showing only one side of the picture.

Technophile84! Can you kindly leave your efforts to make this biography a one-sided, all glory and heroic tale. Hamid Mir is quite controversial person, which he himself admits in his programs. There are people with both good and bad views about him. So let the views of both side be in this biography, so that it remains unbiased and free of vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NewsForAll (talkcontribs) 16:42, 9 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Kargil War edit

I am aware that this is a encyclopedia and am just trying to reflect what truly happened. Pakistan encroached on Indian territory and over the next 2 months, Indians fought and regained most of the hills that were in contention. Then with diplomatic pressure Pakistan withdrew from the rest of the peaks. This is what the article states, so perhaps you should read it.

"Two months into the conflict, Indian troops had slowly retaken most of the ridges that were encroached by the infiltrators;[53][54] according to official count, an estimated 75%–80% of the intruded area and nearly all high ground was back under Indian control.[22]

[edit] Withdrawal and final battles

As Pakistan found itself struggling, the Pakistan army reportedly planned a nuclear strike on India, the news of which alarmed U.S. President Bill Clinton, resulting in a stern warning to Nawaz Sharif.[55] Following the Washington accord on July 4, where Sharif agreed to withdraw Pakistani troops, most of the fighting came to a gradual halt, but some Pakistani forces remained in positions on the Indian side of the LOC. In addition, the United Jihad Council (an umbrella for all extremist groups) rejected Pakistan's plan for a climb-down, instead deciding to fight on.[56]

The Indian army launched its final attacks in the last week of July; as soon as the Drass subsector had been cleared of Pakistani forces, the fighting ceased on July 26. The day has since been marked as Kargil Vijay Diwas (Kargil Victory Day) in India. By the end of the war, India had resumed control of all territory south and east of the Line of Control, as was established in July 1972 as per the Shimla Accord."


Here is an independent article that clearly explains what happend: [1]
