Explainer | Kargil War 1999: India's Heroic Victory Over Pakistan

the Indian army overcame the odds in the Kargil War, forcing the Pakistani army to retreat from the high mountains. The conflict began on May 3, 1999, when local shepherds reported armed intruders in the Kargil sector, leading to reconnaissance missions that confirmed Pakistani occupation of strategic vantage points. The Indian army's fortitude and resilience ultimately led to the successful recapture of the territory.

I am failed to understand as what do you mean by Heroic Victory over Pakistan in Karghal 1999 . I may be allowed to intimate you as how it happened and why it was happened . After defeat in Siachin, Pakistan Army has decided for retaliation. About two years ago when the Karghal happened Pakistan Army started making necessary arrangements for the retaliation . Necessary arrangements for clothing, shoes, bag and baggage, food, arms and ammunitions etc were made in all respect . These things were in huge quantity and capable of fighting with Indian Army for about two Winter seasons . In 1998 when Indian Army came down in Karghal, Pakistan forces started the operation, and speedily managed all the equipments and baggage over about 105 tops posts of India over the mountains . Is was so secret that about 4 to 5 months Indians totally remained unaware of the situation in Karghal . India must obliged to the fellow who noticed on the posts something fishy and reported to Indian Army . At the first stage one General Sahib of Indian Army used Air force facility for verifying as what had happened . Rest a sure on that time Pak Army was very much in a position to hit General Sahib, but were not allowed, for some suspense . Otherwise General Sahib was found in discussion only . On the next week Pakistan Army engaged in supplying dead bodies of Indian Army, and withing a short period about thousands casillities were placed in the Indian Army . So much so death bodies could not be shifted to Delhi because of terror of the Mujahideen and shortages of Coffin Boxes . In the beginning two fighter jets and one helicopter were shot down by Pakistan Army and as such later on Indian Airforce failed to participate in the operation . And this is called heroic victory over Pakistan . On that time no casulity took place in our side . Boforce guns could not played any role in the war because of the facts that position upon all 105 posts of Indian Army were in approachable . Neither Airforce nor guns could played a vital role in the situation called heroic victory over Pakistan in Karghal by Indian Army . Thousands tons of gun powder was used in Karghal but of no use . But Boforce guns played a vital role in encouraging moral support to Indian Nationals . When we started Karghal war we were of the opinion that because of the one thousands dead bodies coffin Boxes, Indian Army will cross the LOC, in order to have a final YUDH . The war ended as a result of political relationship in between Nawaz sharif and Bajpaee jee . Which resulted in withdrawal of Pakistani forces who mostly were shot down by India Army . We capture about 105 posts of India Army in Karghal . We withdrew from these posts and Indian Army got heroic defeat oner Pakistan .
