कारगिल युद्ध के दौरान भारतीय सेना को कई बड़ी मुश्किलों का सामना करना पड़ा था। पाकिस्तानी सैनिक ऊंची पहाड़ियों पर थे जबकि हमारे सैनिकों को गहरी खाई में रहकर उनसे मुकाबला करना था। भारतीय जवानों को आड़ लेकर या रात में चढ़ाई कर ऊपर पहुंचना पड़ रहा था, जोकि बहुत जोखिमपूर्ण था। Image
कारगिल युद्ध 60 दिनों तक चला और अंततः 26 जुलाई 1999 को पाकिस्तान को मुंह की खानी पड़ी। भारत में युद्ध में विजय पताका फहराई और देश के स्वाभिमान के इस प्रतीक को ‘ऑपरेशन विजय’ नाम दिया गया। Image
