What has been the importance of the Siachen Glacier to both

India and Pakistan?
1977 Indian colonel Kumar first climbed the glacier. Returned in 1981. Pakistan
discovered that Indians had been there and decided to defend its interests
before India claimed the glacier, especially as the border in that part of
Kashmir had never been drawn properly. When Pakistan soldiers moved up to the
glacier they discovered 300 Indian troops there. This meant that both sets of
troops had to stay there as the glacier was an important symbol to both sides.
Pakistan tried several times to remove the Indian troops from there without
success. In 1987 Musharraf led one of these assaults. In 1989 Bhutto visited
the glacier to reinforce Pakistan’s view of it. No official figures exist of the
death toll on the glacier with estimates between 3000 and 5000, but many of
these have probably been due to avalanches and falls. No settlement has been
reached, even though several meetings have been held to discuss the situation
since 1989.
