Kargil Vijay Diwas, celebrated every year on July 26th, honours India’s hard-earned triumph in the Kargil War of 1999. The conflict started in May 1999 when Pakistani troops, disguised as militants, covertly occupied key high-altitude positions in the Kargil region of India. To regain control, the Indian Army initiated “Operation Vijay”, a challenging mission to recapture these perilous mountain heights under harsh weather conditions.
After nearly two months of intense fighting, India successfully pushed out the infiltrators and announced victory on July 26, 1999, though the victory came with the sacrifice of 527 courageous soldiers. This day serves as a solemn remembrance of their valor and sacrifice, reinforcing the nation’s unity, highlighting the Indian Armed Forces’ tactical skill and endurance, and inspiring patriotism as a strong emblem of India’s determination to protect its borders.
