Mumbai: Kargil Vijay Diwas, or Kargil Victory Day, is observed on July 26 every year to celebrate India’s triumph over Pakistan in the 1999 Kargil War. This day commemorates the incredible bravery and sacrifices made by Indian soldiers during the intense and prolonged conflict. Kargil Vijay Diwas is a solemn occasion to honour the ultimate sacrifices made by Indian troops in the 1999 Kargil conflict.
The war, which unfolded in the challenging terrain of Jammu and Kashmir’s Kargil region, resulted in the loss of 527 Indian soldiers. The conflict began when Pakistani forces surreptitiously infiltrated Indian territory and seized critical mountain positions. Despite facing harsh weather conditions and difficult terrain, the Indian Army fought with remarkable valour to reclaim these positions.
The successful expulsion of Pakistani forces marked India’s victory. The day serves as a powerful tribute to the courage and dedication of the soldiers who risked everything to safeguard India’s sovereignty. It is celebrated each year with profoun.
