Legacy of Kargil: Why This Day Still Matters
The Kargil War of 1999 was fought under extreme conditions in high-altitude terrain. Indian soldiers climbed steep mountains under enemy fire and reclaimed positions with sheer grit. Their sacrifice protected the nation’s sovereignty and changed the course of Indian military history.
This year’s theme, “Shaurya Aur Samarpan” (Bravery and Dedication), reminded people of the values that make India’s armed forces so respected. The celebration of this day helps keep the memory of their courage alive for future generations.
