The pipe dreams of Paki politicians left in shambles after the Indian army, with significant strategic advantage, in Siachin Glacier refuses to withdraw. Now, does the US-Enslaved Paki army have any guts left to take back territory through military maneuvers.. DON’T THINK SO… :balley:
India’s army has ruled out a compromise with Pakistan over the disputed Siachen glacier, days before a new round of talks between the two countries.
A spokesman said India was in a position of strength in the glacier.
Indian and Pakistani officials are to discuss Siachen, among other issues, at talks in Delhi next week.
The two countries agreed a ceasefire deal over the Siachen glacier in 2003 but have yet to agree on how to withdraw troops.
Siachen borders Pakistani and Indian-administered portions of Kashmir and is regarded as the world’s highest battlefield.
Many casualties at the glacier are the result of the extreme cold.
The Indian army’s top officer at the glacier said Siachen is of vital, strategic and diplomatic value.
He said India holds a military advantage over Pakistan and will not back down.
“Pakistan is talking of demilitarising Siachen, while it is so far away from here that it can’t even see it,” the officer said.
India holds a substantial portion of the glacier and wants both sides to formally mark their current troop positions before any withdrawal.
Pakistan rejects the idea as it believes that would be tantamount to accepting India’s control over the glacier
India maintains Siachen is of strategic value

This just proves that Indians dont really want lasting peace. I serously doubt the coming summit will have anything to offer but more “confidence building measures.” We should be just as stubborn… All those apologists who feel guilty for Kargil deserve hard kick in the rear. I for one think we should nover have abandoned Kargil heights.
Re: Siachin Glacier: India Tells Pakistan to Shove it
Thats because India is a nation …who deserve to be called Pakistans enemies. What can expect you expect from a nation of snakes after all..
Dont worry, hopefully more of your soldiers will be killed…
***Simple solution for Pakistan, Saichen is Pakistan territory, if Pakistan decides to melt:) the glacier under the Indian occupation, that is a vaiable option… ***
***They don’t have to retreat, just go with the Flow… ***
I am not very knowledgeable about the geography or strategic position of siachen. May be India has other neighbour also in mind for this decision. and No offense to any country
U want it from us.So obviously u would have some plans for it. isnt it. what is the guarantee that u wont give that part to the chinese as well, to built an icecream factory.:)
We want it back… You weasled your way onto it, and now we are fighting to have it back. Pakistan HAS SAID IT WONT TO RETREAT TO ORIGINAL POSITIONS, BUT ITS THE INDIANS THAT WANT TO ***** OVER IT. So who is obsessesivly holding on to that snow cone, us or you guys?
oh really..how do we believe u. read kargil.
we are in a dominant position do u think we are going that advantage away. Besides the chinese will be interested too. U guys have a history of giving away lands to ur communist brothers across the border.
How do we trust you? Read Fifty plus years of back stabbing, East Pakistan, Siachin etc… Its up to India to change its ways.
And you have no dominant position, your freezing your balls of like anyone else… Your army just tells you that because they need some form of propaganda to hold on to.. .Fa The only reason your still where you are is because you couldnt get any farther. Get over yourself.
If you have problem with China, take it up with them… (I would LOVE to see a replay of the Sino-Indian war :), yellow versus brown part two.. )The Chinese are a lot more trust worthy then you people will ever be…
AND FYI, the map clearly shows that the Siachin area is well into our territory… Indians just use BS excuses to cover their rears. Your military and govt are just to proud and arrogant to admit they were wrong.
