Answer:
One of the most prominent wars between India and neighbouring country Pakistan, the Kargil War or the Kargil conflict took place between May 3 and July 26, 1999, in the Kargil district of Kashmir and elsewhere along the Line of Control (LOC). In India, the famous Kargil conflict is also referred to as Operation Vijay, which was the name of the Indian operation to clear the Kargil sector.
Since 1999, July 26 is celebrated as the Kargil Vijay Diwas in India, every year, to celebrate the victory of Operation Vijay. While the 60-day long war resulted in the loss of life on both the sides, India won the war by regaining control of all the previously held territory, re-establishing the status quo ante bellum.
To honour the Kargil War's Heroes, who laid down their life for the country, July 26 is celebrated in their memory. From Kargil–Dras sector in North India, to Delhi and Assam, functions are organised all over the country to commemorate the contributions of the armed forces.
Answer:
Pakistan is one of our neighbouring countries. But, perhaps, it not knows the brotherhoods and neighbouring rules. So, it is always unable to be a good neighbour of India. Pakistan always tries to send terrorists to India. Kargil war is one example to prove that Pakistan is a country which supports terrorism.
Kargil is situated 204 km eastwards from Sri Nagar. It is spread over an area of 14,036 square kilometers and is 11,000 feet above the sea level. Therefore, it is covered with ice for 9-10 months of the year. In Dras, the temperature goes down to -500C.
In India’s history, Kargil will be remembered for the 1999 tragedy. Actually 2,000 terrorists illegally occupied the Kargil and develop the temporary forts at important areas. India army came to know all this in May 1999. To remove these terrorists Indian army started ‘Operation Flush Out’ after which Airforce followed with ‘Operation Vijay’. Airforce destroyed the important coverings of terrorists with bombarding. They took three months to finish this operation. In this 500 soldiers died and the government spent much more than the previous wars with Pakistan.
Pakistan tried to internationalize this issue but the patience of India make everybody in the world criticise Pakistan and appreciate India. Ultimately Indian soldiers eradicated Pakistan terrorists from our sacred earth. This episode stimulated the people of Indian and they helped the government in all respects. The Indians once again proved in this war that unity great for them
