Q. Which day is observed as 'Kargil Vijay Diwas' in India?
Answer:
26 July
Notes: Kargil Vijay Diwas, observed on 26 July, commemorates the Indian Army's victory over Pakistan in the 1999 Kargil Conflict. On its 25th anniversary, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits the Drass sector in Ladakh to honor the martyrs at the Kargil War Memorial. The Kargil War, fought from May 8 to July 26, 1999, saw Pakistani forces disguised as mujahideen infiltrating Indian posts. India's Operation Vijay successfully evicted them. This conflict aimed to internationalize the Kashmir issue and disrupt NH1A, a vital supply route for the Indian Army.
