Summary of Recommendations Pakistan could never accept the accession of the Muslim majority state of Jammu and Kashmir to India, as it flew in the face of its Two Nation Theory. India’s claim to Kashmir was historical as well as legal,Pakistan’s was based on religious affinity. It made numerous covert and overt attempts to annex Kashmir, including the tribal invasion in 1947-48 and Operation Gibraltar of 1965.A major landmark for terrorism in Kashmir was Operation TOPAC, which was planned by late President Zia ul Haque of Pakistan. More than 63,000 persons have been killed due terrorist violence since 1993. The number of seriously injured is more than 2.5 lakh. The 10 years from 1980 to 1990 witnessed Pakistan’s adoption of ‘Proxy War’ strategies. ‘The sword of Islam which defeated (Great Britain in 19 century, USSR & USA in this century)three superpowers can defeat India as well’ became commonly accepted perception, in Pakistan & in the Inter Service Intelligence (ISI)’. The viciousness of Pak sponsored terrorism in Kashmir is no less than in Afghanistan. Following the pullout of Soviet forces from Afghanistan, most of the Taliban/Al Queda cadres were inducted into Kashmir. The officers and men of the Indian Army took on these hard core jihadis and war veterans who claimed to have brought a superpower to its knees. The Indian Army could not have taken on this challenge with such imposing constraints without bravery, character and conviction.
