Remembering the Kargil War heroes

It will be 17th year of victory for India in Kargil war as the nation will celebrate Vijay Diwas. Over 500 Indian soldiers were martyred and 1,363 wounded to earn a victory for India. The Kargil war was fought in three phases. First, Pakistan infiltrated forces into the Indian-controlled section of Kashmir and occupied strategic locations enabling it to bring NH1 within range of its artillery fire. The next stage consisted of India discovering the infiltration and mobilising forces to respond to it. The final stage involved major battles by Indian and Pakistani forces resulting in India recapturing most of the territories held by Pakistani forces.
