History of Kargil Vijay Diwas

In 1998-1999, it was alleged that the Pakistani army was secretly training and sending the troops across the Line of Control into the Indian territory allegedly disguised as a ‘mujahedeen’. Irrespective of the nature or extent of the infiltration, the Indian troops in the area allegedly assumed that the infiltrators were Jihadis. However, discoveries of infiltrations in other areas of the valley made the Indian armed forces realise that the attack was staged on a much bigger scale. Soon, the Government of India launched Operation Vijay and deployed nearly 2,00,000 Indian troops in the Valley. The war came to an end in the year 1999 and reportedly 527 Indian soldiers lost their lives in the battle.
