Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated in India on 26 July every year.

In the early part of 1999 several points on the Indian side of the LoC in the Mashkoh, Dras, Kaksar  and Batalik areas were occupied by forces claiming to be Mujahideens. Suspecting involvement  of the Pakistan Army, Indian forces started reacting to this occupation. This led to a confrontation  between the two countries. This is known as the Kargil conflict. This conflict went on during May  and June 1999. By 26 July 1999, India had recovered control of many of the lost points. The Kargil  conflict drew attention worldwide for the reason that only one year prior to that, both India and  Pakistan had attained nuclear capability. However, this conflict remained confined only to the Kargil  region. In Pakistan, this conflict has been the source of a major controversy as it was alleged later  that the Prime Minister of Pakistan was kept in the dark by the Army Chief. Soon after the conflict,  the government of Pakistan was taken over by the Pakistan Army led by the Army Chief, General  Parvez Musharraf.
