Question

Write a speech on kargil day

Answer 1

The Kargil war which broke out in May 1999 continued for 60 days up until 26th July when the war was officially declared over.

Local shepherds first reported the presence of Pakistani infiltrators in Kargil in District Baltistan in the Ladakh region of Jammu & Kashmir on 3rd May 1999.

The Indian army set up patrol units along the area on 5th Five Indian patrolling soldiers including Captain Saurabh Kalia were captured by Pakistani forces alive and brutally tortured to death.

Heavy shelling by the Pakistanis started on 9th This was meant as cover fire to engage the Indian troops so that infiltrators could enter Indian Territory along the LOC.

Infiltrations occurred in the Dras, Mushkoh and Kaksar sectors.

The Indian Army moves its troops from the Kashmir Valley to the Kargil sector during the middle of May. The Indian Air Force also engages the infiltrators by the end of May.

Intense fighting continued from both sides.

In early June, the Indian army released documents that confirmed the involvement of the Pakistani army which rubbished claims by the latter that the infiltrations were done by Kashmiri “freedom fighters”.

Even though initially taken by surprise, the determined Indian Army recover many positions and posts from the other side. Our soldiers fought bravely in hostile environments of mountainous terrain, extremely high altitudes and harsh cold weather conditions.

On 4th July, the Indian army captured Tiger Hill after a battle that lasted 11 hours. The next day, India recovered Drass.

These were major breakthroughs.

Internationally, Pakistan was losing face because of vital proofs regarding its army’s involvement in the war. The USA led by Bill Clinton had asked Pakistan’s Nawas Sharif to withdraw troops.

On 5th July, Sharif announced after meeting with Clinton that Pakistan was withdrawing troops.

The pull-out by Pakistani forces started on 11th On 14th July, the then Indian Prime Minister A B Vajpayee announced that Operation Vijay (the codename given to the Kargil War) was a success.

The war officially came to an end on 26th All Pakistani intruders are evicted from Indian soil.

Pakistan initiated the war despite India’s overtures of talks such as the inauguration of the Delhi-Lahore and the signing of the Lahore Declaration.

The G8 countries, the ASEAN, the USA and the EU supported India on the conflict. Even China insisted on a pull-out of troops and restoration of the pre-war status quo.

India was also praised for showing amazing restraint by not crossing the LOC and escalating the situation into an all-out war between two nuclear-states.

The official Indian death toll was 527. A further 1363 Indian soldiers were wounded in the conflict. Let us remember those who sacrificed their lives and youth for the sake of our safety and security. Jay Jawan!

Answer 2

Explanation:

Here's all you need to know about the Kargil war:

• The war took place between May and July of 1999 in Jammu and Kashmira's Kargil district.
• The conflict is believed to have been orchestrated by the then Pakistan Army chief general Pervez Musharraf without the knowledge of the then Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
• It began with the infiltration of both Pakistani troops and terrorists into Indian territory.
• The infiltrators positioned themselves in key locations that gave them a strategic advantage during the start of the conflict.
• Based on information from local shepherds, the Indian Army was able to ascertain the points of incursion and launch "Operation Vijay".
• The Army declared the mission successful on July 26, 1999; since then the day has been celebrated annually as Kargil Vijay Diwas.

The Kargil War was not actually a "war". India never declared an emergency and never classified it as a war. At the height of the conflict, then PM Atal Bihari Vajayee said the situation in Kargil was "war-like". But, Kargil always remained a "limited conflict", which is why the Indian military was ordered not to cross the Line of Control and why the situation along the International Border in Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat remained peaceful.
