Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated annually on 26th of July to mark India's victory over Pakistan in the Kargil War of 1999 and honour the bravery of soldiers who sacrificed their lives

Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated every year on 26th of July in India to commemorate India's victory over Pakistan in the Kargil War. The Indian Army successfully drove back Pakistani forces from their occupied positions on the mountain tops of Northern Kargil District in Ladakh in 1999, securing a win for India in the war. The Kargil conflict, which lasted from May to July 1999, is also called 'Operation Vijay'. 

India lost over 500 bravehearts, including Lt Manoj Kumar Pandey, Captain Vikram Batra, Major Vivek Gupta, Major Rajesh Singh Adhikari, and several others. This day honours their sacrifices. Several programmes are held across the country in the run-up to Kargil Diwas as well as on July 26 to pay homage to India's brave soldiers.
