Over the last three decades, cross-border violence between India and Pakistan has been interspersed with periods of relative peace. Until 2003, ceasefires along the Line of Control and International Border in Jammu and Kashmir (in 1949, 1965, and 1971) were preceded by war between India and Pakistan. On the night of November 23, 2003, an announcement of a unilateral ceasefire, starting on Eid-ul-Fitr, was made by then prime minister of Pakistan Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali. Following this, during their weekly call, the Director Generals of Military Operations or DGMOs from the two countries agreed on a ceasefire along the Line of Control, International Border, and Actual Ground Position Line. And so, the ceasefire came into effect from 25 November 2003.Given the violence of the previous 14 years, the ceasefire was a welcome move. The years between 1989 and 2003 saw cross-border violence touch record levels. 2001 and 2002 saw 4,134 and 5,767 ceasefire violations respectively by Pakistan, as reported by India. Thus, the ceasefire resulted in a stable border and immediate relief for civilians. According to some reports, there was not a single ceasefire violation between India and Pakistan between 2004 and 2006, while others report that the number was negligible. The larger change in India-Pakistan relations following the institution of the composite dialogue process also enabled different confidence-building measures on the LoC, such as the opening of passenger routes on the Poonch-Rawalakot and Srinagar-Muzaffarabad axes, enabling bus traffic and eventually cross-border trade. The period also saw the completion of border fencing on the LoC as a measure to prevent infiltration. From 2007 onwards, ceasefire violations began to rise, intensifying after 2013. The larger relationship too started to see tensions due to terror attacks in India, civil-military dynamics in Pakistan, cross-border retaliatory actions such as the surgical strikes in 2016, and the Balakot airstrikes in 2019. In 2020, India reported 5,133 CFVs on the border. A reaffirmation of the ceasefire through a DGMO conversation and a subsequent joint statement by India and Pakistan in February 2021 was a major effort to arrest this trend.--Episode ContributorsArun K.

Sheryl Glick host of Healing From Within Interviews Arun K. Singh M.D. author of Your Heart My Hands a story of an immigrants remarkable journey to find the American dream and become one of America’s preeminent cardiac surgeons. Sheryl is delighted today to share the perspective of Dr. Singh who came to America in the 60’s as a young physician from India to be able to find a way to support himself and his family in India and eventually choosing America as his home and all the lives that were helped as a result of his choices to succeed and persevere often against challenging odds and also due to his desire to be part of American life. Arun tells us about the hand injuries he had in India as a boy and writes, “When I was seven I was climbing a guava tree ten to twelve feet off the ground and the monkeys came and there is nothing cute about a Langur monkey about to strike so Arun fell and his right hand and elbow took the brunt of the fall and there was a big gash to the forehead There was nerve damage to the elbow and in a few days there was much swelling and the cast was removed and it was discovered that the hand had been set the wrong way. Again in six weeks the cast was removed and the broken bone had healed, but Arun’s right arm and elbow wouldn’t bend. He couldn’t pick things up, couldn’t write, couldn’t feed himself. While Arun had the cast on he’d developed pneumonia and because of poor sanitary conditions had a severe case of hepatitis. The surgeon cautioned his parents that with his liver in a bad state, general anesthesia given in order to break the arm and reset it was extremely dangerous.http://authorstoryinterviews.blogspot.com/2019/05/dr-arun-singh-on-his-remarkable-journey.htmlLearn more about Sheryl here: http://www.sherylglick.com/
