Kargil Vijay Diwas, observed on 26 July, marks India’s victory in the 1999 Kargil War against Pakistan. Under Operation Vijay, the Indian Army and Air Force reclaimed strategic peaks in Ladakh without crossing the LoC.
India lost 527 brave soldiers, including Captain Vikram Batra, Captain Manoj Pandey, and others awarded the Param Vir Chakra.
In 2025, India commemorates 26 years of the victory, honoring the courage and sacrifice of the armed forces. The day stands as a symbol of national pride, unity, and resilience.
