More about the 1999 Kargil War
On July 26, 1999, the Indian Army was successful in the culmination of 'Operation Vijay' wherein they emerged victorious by defeating Pakistan after the nearly three-month-long battle in the icy heights of Kargil. Both the Indian Air Force and the Army worked together to remove troops of the Pakistani army from the Indian territory who entered the region disguised as Kashmir terrorists. Though the Pakistani army denied their involvement in the war, the documents left behind by casualties, the testimony of POWs and statements by the then Prime Minister showed the involvement of Pakistani paramilitary forces. This year's Kargil Vijay Diwas marks the completion of 23 years of the Kargil War.
