Indian history Kargil will be remembered for 1999 tragedy. Approximately 2000
terrorists illegally occupied the Kargil and developed temporary forts at
important areas. Their aim was to take over the control of Kargil from India.
For their eradication Indian army started a massive operation called ‘Operation
flush out’ which was followed by ‘Operation Vijay’ of Air force. Air Force
destroyed the important coverings of terrorists with bombarding and for this
work they took three months and also lost many of its brave soldiers as Captain
Ahuja. In this operation 50 Indian soldiers died and the expenditure was
manifolds that previous wars with Pakistan.
Pakistan
tried to internationalize this issue so as to get the favors of many countries
but patience of India made everybody in the world to criticize Pakistan and
appreciate India. Ultimately Indian soldiers removed the Pakistani terrorists
from our sacred land. This episode stimulated the people of India and they
helped their government in all respects. This also spread the feeling of
patriotism all over India. By all this India has again proved that he can
maintain the untidiness of the country at any cost and should not take Indian
policies of peaceful environment as our weakness and should not try interrupt
our boundaries.
