Have you read my Novella, “Mayhem of the Miserables!” available @ http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/52075
Reuters / May 31, 2011 / Hindustan Times.
India and Pakistan on Monday began their first attempt in three years to demilitarise the Siachen glacier, the world's highest battlefield in the Himalayan region, that has claimed the lives of hundreds of soldiers. The rivals' defence secretaries began two days of talks in New Delhi on Monday how to reduce troops situated above the Siachen glacier since 1984.
Here are some main facts about the Siachen glacier region:
* Siachen is in the northern part of Kashmir. Muslim-majority Kashmir is at the heart of hostility between India and Pakistan and was the cause of two of their three wars (the third was over the founding of Bangladesh)
Whatever be the dispute, I repeat that the thousands of crores of rupees, a year, being spend on this one confrontation, rightfully, belongs to the peoples' primary education, health and poverty alleviation both sides.
So are the scores of thousands crores of rupees spent, annually, on unresolved disputes, on both sides.
