[KW Note: Several operational factors such as fatigue, unpredictability of threat, extended tenures of stay, absence of recreational avenues, domestic worries, irregular mail, problems related to leave and railway travel increase the level of frustration among the Indian occupational troops deployed in U.N. recognised disputed state of Jammu & Kashmir. Unofficial sources put the number of troops deployed in the state to seven hundred thousand.

Since 1988, the U.N. recognised disputed state of Jammu and Kashmir has been hit by confrontation between Kashmiri Freedom Fighters and the Indian Military, which has resulted in more than One hundred thousand of deaths.

In May 2009 this year the Kashmir dispute has been registered in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest militarized territorial dispute in the world.]
