Guns and Glory Episode 7: 1999 Indo-Pak War in Kargil, Part 1

In Part 1 on the Kargil War, Guns and Glory sets up the sequence of events as they unfolded in Pakistan and India and why and who the main players were in the making of the conflict. This show details how the euphoric new beginning of Bus Diplomacy was subverted by the devious plans set in motion by 4 Pakistani Generals. How the Northern Light Infantry were tasked with occupying 132 abandoned Indian posts across the Line of Control and how 3 shepherds first noticed the intrusion. The show tells the tragic story of Lt. Saurabh Kalia and his abduction and torture by Pakistani forces and it relives the pounding that was unleashed on them when India brought in the Bofors Howitzers. We also look at how the Indian Air Force redefined the waging of Air warfare in the rarified atmosphere of High Mountain regions.
