Kargil Vijay Diwas
Kargil Vijay Diwas, named after the successful 'Operation Vijay' is celebrated every year in India on 26 July to honour of the Kargil War's Heroes. In 1999, on this day India successfully took command of the high outposts which had been lost to Pakistan. The Kargil war was fought for more than 60 days and culminated on 26 July. The war ended with India regaining control of Kargil, hence, re-establishing the status quo antebellum. It was the first-ever Indian war fought under constant media coverage.
