२१ वर्षांपूर्वी, २६ जुलै १९९९ रोजी भारताने पाकिस्तानी सैन्याने बळकावलेले अखेरचे भारतीय ठाणे पुन्हा काबीज केले #कारगिल युद्ध जिंकले. #कारगिल_विजय_दिवस त्याची थोडक्यात माहिती #Thread

हिवाळ्यात #कारगिल परिसर राहण्यासाठी अत्यंत प्रतिकूल होत असल्याने दोन्ही देशांचे सैनिक हिवाळ्यात खाली सुरक्षित जागी परतत. व उन्हाळ्यात पुन्हा आपल्या जागी येत. असा करार नसला तरी दोन्ही लष्करांनी ही बाब मान्य केली होती. मात्र, पाकिस्तानने त्याचा भंग केला.
काश्मीरला लडाखशी जोडणाऱ्या या एकमेव रस्त्यावर ताबा मिळविण्याचा पाकिस्तानचा उद्देश होता. ती सामरिकदृष्ट्या मोठी आघाडी ठरली असती. त्यासाठीच पाक लष्कराचे तत्कालिन प्रमुख जनरल #मुशर्रफ यांनी सुमारे ५० हजार सैनिक घुसखोरांच्या वेषात भारतीय हद्दीत धाडले

By late 1949 after the Kashmir debacle General Nathu Singh recommended the Army begin recruitment in full swing.
From the usual 800-1000 recruits during my time in 1952,
a serious recruitment drive pushed by General Thimayya saw the Artillery Training Centre, Nasik Road flooded with 4-5000 to be trained.
However, with insufficient barracks, training equipment, beds, camp cots, mosquito nets & clothing.…

Depots sent us shorts leftover from the WW2 campaign of North African deserts where it was extremely hot in the day & cold at night.
So instead of issuing a pair of trousers these shorts could be brought down below knee level at sunset & folded up & buttoned in the morning !
