<P> Though the Kargil conflict had brought the Kashmir dispute into international focus, which was one of Pakistan's aims, it had done so in negative circumstances that eroded its credibility, since the infiltration came just after a peace process between the two countries was underway . The sanctity of the LOC too received international recognition . President Clinton's move to ask Islamabad to withdraw hundreds of armed militants from Indian - administered Kashmir was viewed by many in Pakistan as indicative of a clear shift in US policy against Pakistan . </P> <P> After the war, a few changes were made to the Pakistan armed forces . In recognition of the Northern Light Infantry's performance in the war, which even drew praise from a retired Indian Lt. General, the regiment was incorporated into the regular army . The war showed that despite a tactically sound plan that had the element of surprise, little groundwork had been done to gauge the politico - diplomatic ramifications . And like previous unsuccessful infiltrations attempts, such as Operation Gibraltar, which sparked the 1965 war, there was little co-ordination or information sharing among the branches of the Pakistani Armed Forces . One US Intelligence study is reported to have stated that Kargil was yet another example of Pakistan's (lack of) grand strategy, repeating the follies of the previous wars . In 2013, General Musharraf's close collaborator and confidential subordinate Lieutenant General (retired) Shahid Aziz revealed to Pakistan's news televisions and electronic media, that "(Kargil) adventure' was India's intelligence failure and Pakistan's miscalculated move, the Kargil operation was known only to General Parvez Musharraf and four of his close collaborators". </P> <P> Pakistan army losses have been difficult to determine . Pakistan confirmed that 453 soldiers were killed . The US Department of State had made an early, partial estimate of close to 700 fatalities . According to numbers stated by Nawaz Sharif there were over 4,000 fatalities . His PML (N) party in its "white paper" on the war mentioned that more than 3,000 Mujahideens, officers and soldiers were killed . Another major Pakistani political party, the Pakistan Peoples Party, also says that "thousands" of soldiers and irregulars died . Indian estimates stand at 1,042 Pakistani soldiers killed . Musharraf, in his Hindi version of his memoirs, titled "Agnipath", differs from all the estimates stating that 357 troops were killed with a further 665 wounded . Apart from General Musharraf's figure on the number of Pakistanis wounded, the number of people injured in the Pakistan camp is not yet fully known although they are at least more than 400 according to Pakistan army's website . One Indian pilot was officially captured during the fighting, while there were eight Pakistani soldiers who were captured during the fighting, and were repatriated on 13 August 1999 . India gave its official casualty figures as 527 dead and 1,363 wounded . </P> <P> The Kargil War memorial, built by the Indian Army, is located in Dras, in the foothills of the Tololing Hill . The memorial, located about 5 km from the city centre across the Tiger Hill, commemorates the martyrs of the Kargil War . A poem "Pushp Kii Abhilasha" (Wish of a Flower) by Makhanlal Chaturvedi, a renowned 20th century neo-romantic Hindi poet, is inscribed on the gateway of the memorial greets visitors . The names of the soldiers who lost their lives in the War are inscribed on the Memorial Wall and can be read by visitors . A museum attached to the Kargil War Memorial, which was established to celebrate the victory of' Operation Vijay', houses pictures of Indian soldiers, archives of important war documents and recordings, Pakistani war equipments and gear, and official emblems of the Army from the Kargil war . </P>
