KARGIL VIJYA DIWAS, 2020
India will celebrate the 21st Kargil Vijay Diwas on July 26. People across the country, on that day, remember and pay homage to the soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice fighting Pakistani enemies. The Kargil War was fought during May-July of 1999, in the Kargil sector of Jammu and Kashmir, along the Line of Control. A total of 527 Indian Soldiers lost their lives during the war.
This year a National level Online Quiz has been organised by the Government , "to inculcate Patriotism among students".
"Saluting the indomitable spirit and valour of the heroes who sacrificed their lives while fighting the Kargil war. Take this informative quiz on #KargilVijayDiwas and remember the heroes of this Nation,"
''Operation Vijay" was the name given to India's limited war against Pakistan after the neighbouring country captured high outposts in Jammu and Kashmir's Kargil in 1999.
The Indian troops overcame insurmountable odds, hostile terrain, weather, and successfully recaptured several mountain tops overlooking the strategic Srinagar-Leh highway from Pakistani intruders.
'Operation Vijay' flushed out the Pakistani intruders from Kargil and since then, the day is celebrated as Kargil Vijay Diwas.
