Bharat Rakshak (Army of India)

The Battle of Nuiwa-Shar 16 March 1990
In January 1990, an uprising among Muslim fun-
damentalists in Indian Kashmir threatened to put an end
to the delicate peace maintained by the government in
Delhi since their annexation of the province in January of
1957. The Hindu government of Kashmir state resigned,
forcing India to declare "Martial Law". There were
furious protests from the Sharif government in Karachi.
Troops were mobilized on both sides of the India-
Pakistan border. There were skirmishes and some
shelling of border posts, but cooler heads finally
prevailed and war was narrowly avoided. Things could
have gone differently. This scenario assumes they did.
On 14 March 1990 after a concerted effort by
both sides to reach some sort of agreement, elements of
the Indian 15th Army crossed the Sutlej River
Southeast of Lahore and entered Pakistani territory.
Encountering stiff resistance, they pushed West-
Southwest, crossing the Multan-Lahore Railroad, and
erected temporary bridges across the Ravi River (their
initial objective). At this point, elements of the Indian
6th Armored Division were thrown forward, taking
advantage of a gap in Pakistani lines between Jellum in
the North and Lyallpur in the South. Their goal was the
small town of Nuiwa-Shar and the oilfields along the
East bank of the Jhelum River. Before they could reach
Nuiwa-Shar, however, they were met by the Pakistani
2nd Armored Brigade, striking South from Jellum in a
desperate bid to block their advance.
