Kashmir Korpse Kount: 4
2007-11-13
Government troops killed four militants, two of them wanted commanders, in fresh fighting in revolt-hit Indian Kashmir, police said on Monday. Three of the militants were killed during an early morning gun fight in the village of Dooru, near northern Sopore town, a police spokesman said.

One of the dead was identified as Osman Qari, an alleged Pakistani national and the deputy chief commander of Harkat-ul-Mujahedin.

A fourth rebel, Mushtaq Sofi alias Zahid, was shot dead during another brief gun fight in southern Pulwama district on Monday, the spokesman said, adding he was also a “wanted” commander with the Jaish-e-Mohammed group.

India Gate

Built in the memory of more than 90,000 Indian soldiers who lost their lives during the Afghan Wars and World War I. The names of the soldiers who died in these wars are inscribed on the walls.

Inscribed on top of India Gate in capital letters is the line:

To the dead of the Indian armies who fell honoured in France and Flanders, Mesopotamia and Persia, East Africa, Gallipoli and elsewhere in the near and the far-east and in sacred memory also of those whose names are recorded and who fell in India or the north-west frontier and during the Third Afgan War.

The shrine itself is a black marble cenotaph with a rifle placed on its barrel, crested by a soldier's helmet, which marks the Unknown Soldier's Tomb. Each face of the cenotaph has inscribed in gold the words "Amar Jawan" (Immortal Warrior). This cenotaph is itself placed on an edifice which has on its four corners four flames that are perpetually kept alive.
