JULY 26th 1999…..JULY 26th 2021…..22 Years.

INDIA’S HOUR OF GLORY…… “KARGIL” WON BY INDIA

It was a very different kind of a battle. It was NOT a war but a fight between the SKILLED INDIAN ARMY and the SPONSORED TERRORIST trained by the PAKISTAN ARMY.

Kargil as a territory was totally ambushed and seized by the infiltrators that was trained by the ISI and the Pakistan Defense which was marshalled by Chief of Pakistan Army, General Musharraf. Pakistan also deployed its arsenal at the Kargil border, at the area across the border that belongs to Pakistan by shifting its logistics and its entire strength of its force. It had an intention to attack India if it saw that the Indian Army and its resilience as well as its resistance gave away or it broke.

The Indian Army was fighting a very different kind of a battle. It was not a head to head and a man to man fight but it was a ambushing Pakistani infiltrator which was fighting the Indian Army especially with carrying ammunitions and long range firing mortar.

India and the Indian soldiers read the moves and the tactics of the enemy and then one by one captured all the points which the infiltrators had seized it from us. Repeated bombing by the mid range attacking tanks which moved on two wheels and retaliating on the firing by the infiltrators, Indain Army drove out the enemies and on finally when it captured the last of the point at Kargil- it was all over by India.

INDIA HAD LIBERATED THE SIEZED LAND FROM THE ENEMY ACROSS THE BORDER

On July 26th 1999 the then Prime Minister of India Shri Atal Behari Vajapayee declared that India had finally won the battle to drive out and kick out every infiltrators and also that India had seized every millimeter of the land from the clutches of the seizers who had come across the border and that it was a GRAND VICTORY for the Indian Army

Kargil Episode…..A different Diplomacy…..A different battle…..A different Experience

Do not know how to describe the Kargil episode. Was it a WAR. Was it an AMBUSH. Was it an act of terrorism or was it a game that the Pakistani Army played with the Indian counterparts. Very HARD to describe the act Kargil in a lot of way went into the RAW(Research & Analysis Wing) of the entire World’s Research HQ for a complete case study on war.

Kargil was the FIRST say it a war or an actplay which was telecast LIVE in the TV whole across the WORLD and it gave UNNECCESARY mileage to Barkha Dutt for nothing as she had covered the war. It was the BRAIN of the MILITARY wing especially the HELICOPTERS which kept on flying within the territory of the Indian Border to give its feedback to the Indian Army and then the Indian Army relauching its operational strategy to hit the enemy hard on their head.

This was the FIRST occasion that the Indian Army put into service some Women Flighters who flew the Helicopter on the line of the borders to read the situation of the field where the tillages ought to be done and providing the Indian Army the info’s of the realities of the ground and then for the Army unit to barge into tillage and destruction of the enemy.

Kargil also was the FIRST kind of a war or a battle where the Indian Soldiers did not cross the line and had to remain within its boundary to expedite the fathomers of the enemy.

ACT & REHERESAL-:

It happened when the two Prime Ministers of the two nation Mr Atal Behari Vajapayee and Mr Nawaz Sharief were to meet at Lahore.Mr Sharief had invited Mr Vajapayee at Lahore. To make the event as COUNTRY representing with its society of elegits ,Mr Vajapaye invited the galaxies as well as the commoners to accompany him with the bus at Lahore and Mr Vajapayee took with him the entire spectre of the Indian class and culture with him in a bus to Lahore.

Galaxies from the common man to the galaxy of the highest order were seated with him in a bus carrying them at Lahore- and upon reaching Lahore the counterpart of Mr Vajapayee laid a red carpet welcome and it appeared to everybody that a new chapter was going to be written in the annals of the Indo-Pak relation

However it seem that it was not acceptable to the Chief of the Pakistani Army and the Chief of the ISI. Mr Musharraf it was who inspite of being welcomed and invited by Mr Sharief did not attend the meet at Lahore when Mr Vajapayee was at Lahore with the bus. Mr Musharraf at that time was meeting the High Fi of the Chinese nation and was busy talking to them about Kashmir

The moment Mr Vajapayee came back the Operation Kargil started- spearheaded by the Pakistani ISI backed up by their Army.When asked the Pakistani Army kept on saying that it was NOT the Pakistani Army but some Jehadi’s who were responsible for the act and not the Pakistani Army. The TACT was- PAKISTANI ARMY WILL NOT ENTER INTO A PHYSICAL WAR WITH INDIA.THAT WOULD PREVENT THE INDIAN ARMY TO CROSS THE LOC PAKISTANI ARMY SUPPORTED BY THE ISI WILL KEEP ON MARAUDING THE INDIAN FORCE>Casualty would be of the Indian Army

INDIAN ARMY- HEROICS

Faced with such a situation the Indian Army plunged into attack.It never crossed the LOC but it used the BOFORS gun to outwit the enemy situated and located at the various point in Drass and other sector of Kashmir. Aerial studies by the helicopters were conducted and then the Bofors Guns were used to send the bombs at those places where the Indian Army felt that the enemy was in full swing.

The war started on May 1999 and final got over on July 26th 1999.It was infact the most LENGTHIEST battle that the Indian Army had to fight. Since Pakistani Army was not directly involved the Indian Defence could not cross the border either by planes or by anything. Shells, BOFORS GUNS and Mortars were used in this act to completely vanquish the enemy and emerge victorious.

On July 25th 1999 the last of the point that was seized by the enemy was conquered by the Indian Army and on July 26th when the Commander-In-Charge of the indian Army send a final message that every millimeter of the seized land was gained back and taken away from the enemies- the Indian Premier Mr Atal Behari Vajpayee then announced that-

INDIA HAD WON THE WAR AND THAT JULY 26TH EVERY YEAR WOULD BE CELEBRATED AS THE “ VIJAY DIWAS ”

-----“ SALUTE AGAIN THE BRAVE INDIAN ARMY " -----

It was here that an account was taken and it was felt that the Indian defense ought to be modernized in terms of the ammunition and arsenal and the rest that we see now under the Premiership of Mr Narendra Modi is a HISTORY and a TRUTH that ought to be done,ie made realistic.

INDIAN DEFENSE HAS TO BE MODERNISED WITH MODERN ARMS AND ARSENALS

“ JULY 26TH THEN WAS DECLARED TO BE THE “ VIJAY DIWAS ” AND THAT IT WOULD BE CELEBRATED AS VIJAY DIWAS EVERY YEAR.

22nd year of celebration of “ VIJAY-DIWAS ”

HEADS UP - WELL DONE INDIAN ARMY

“ SALUTE” - we remain INDEBTED to your CHIVALRY and VALOUR

That is it

That sums up it and that is all .....

Regards and THANKS
