Siachen Glacier: The Battle Of Roses

For twenty-five years, several thousand troops from the armies of India and Pakistan have been facing each other in an undeclared war in the vast expanse of the Siachen, the world's longest non-polar glacier. It did not feature in the negotiations between India and Pakistan after the wars fought by them in 1949 (the Ceasefire Line), 1965 (the Tashkent Agreement)and 1972 (the Shimla Agreement and the Line of Control).
