Short Essay on War of Kargil

Pakistan is one of our neighbouring countries. But, perhaps, it not knows the brotherhoods and neighbouring rules. So, it is always unable to be a good neighbour of India. Pakistan always tries to send terrorists to India. Kargil war is one example to prove that Pakistan is a country which supports terrorism.

Kargil is situated 204 km eastwards from Sri Nagar. It is spread over an area of 14,036 square kilometers and is 11,000 feet above the sea level. Therefore, it is covered with ice for 9-10 months of the year. In Dras, the temperature goes down to -50⁰C.

In India’s history, Kargil will be remembered for the 1999 tragedy. Actually 2,000 terrorists illegally occupied the Kargil and develop the temporary forts at important areas. India army came to know all this in May 1999. To remove these terrorists Indian army started ‘Operation Flush Out’ after which Airforce followed with ‘Operation Vijay’. Airforce destroyed the important coverings of terrorists with bombarding. They took three months to finish this operation. In this 500 soldiers died and the government spent much more than the previous wars with Pakistan.

Pakistan tried to internationalize this issue but the patience of India make everybody in the world criticise Pakistan and appreciate India. Ultimately Indian soldiers eradicated Pakistan terrorists from our sacred earth. This episode stimulated the people of Indian and they helped the government in all respects. The Indians once again proved in this war that unity great for them.
