While the entire country led by A.B. Vajpayee were raising toasts to the success of the bus to Lahore and the consequent ‘Lahore Declaration’, Pakistan was engaged in dispatching its troops to the icy heights of Kargil. Whatever Pakistan did or tried to do to India through Kargil, it has, at least, indirectly shown the vigor of the evolving Indian nation. For once, all Indian forgot their immediate petty identities to support their country with one voice. The nationalist zeal witnessed during the Kargil crisis has only consolidated the Indian nation-state and here Pakistan’s attempt to break India definitely had the opposite impact. Even though, Kargilisation of lndo-Pak relations has dealt a heavy blow to the bilateral relations, India should not completely lose hope. Even as India should strengthen its security apparatus, she should simultaneously engage in confidence building measures with Pakistan.
