Kargil Vijay Diwas, observed on July 26 each year, commemorates India's victory in the Kargil War of 1999, a conflict between India and Pakistan. The day marks the end of Operation Vijay, which successfully expelled Pakistani intruders from the Kargil district in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. This operation was a significant military achievement for India, reflecting the courage, determination, and resilience of the Indian Armed Forces.
The Kargil War began in May 1999 when Pakistani soldiers and militants crossed the Line of Control (LoC). The war concluded in July 1999 with the successful recapture of the peaks and the restoration of peace along the LoC.
