Once the Russians moved out of Afghanistan, a whole lot of weapons and a lot of men, from all over the Muslim world, along with considerable funds became surplus, and as such available to the Inter Services Intelligence Directorate, to be further diverted towards Kashmir. The tempo, as such, of the covert operations, increased. Simultaneously, Pakistan lost no chance, and made every effort to raise the Kashmir issue in every forum, be it the Organisation of Islamic Countries, or the Commonwealth or the Commonwealth Heads of the Government Meet. Her operations in Kargil were just one more and the latest such attempt. Pakistan eventually struck gold when Robin Raphael made her statement that United States of America considers Jammu and Kashmir a disputed territory.

• The implications of Robin Raphel's statement.

• The rationality behind such apparent blatant interference in other nation's internal affairs.

• The affect on the nations, party to this imbroglio.
