00:00How many people know what Kargil really is and why the war started in 1999?

00:13Kargil is a mountainous area located in Kashmir.

00:17But in 2019, India made Ladakh a separate administrative unit.

00:23Let's go back in time.

00:25This is May 1999.

00:29When the locals of Kargil reported that the Indian army was hiding in Kargil.

00:35And as soon as they saw this, the tension turned into a war.

00:40200,000 soldiers were sent from India.

00:43And it was named Operation Vijay.

00:46Because this path was extremely difficult and difficult,

00:49only 20,000 soldiers of India were able to reach the actual destination.

00:54Pakistan's goal was to block India's access to Kargil.

00:59Because this was the only way to reach Siachen.

01:03And this is how India had to say goodbye to Siachen.

01:06Siachen is actually the world's highest battlefield.

01:10And the world's second largest glacier.

01:13And in 1984, India had also assigned its troops here.

01:18The Kargil dispute lasted for about three months.

01:22Because of the high mountains in the early days, Pakistan benefited a lot.

01:27Pakistan also shot down two Indian fighter jets.

01:31And their pilots were also captured.

01:35And the third aircraft, which became the target, killed all four Indian soldiers.

01:39After that, the Indian army used cannons and martyred Pakistan's brave soldiers.

01:46India's other cunningness was that it also released the conversation between Parvez Musharraf and Chief of General Staff Aziz Khan.

01:55On this, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif announced the withdrawal of the army from Kargil at the meeting with US President Bill Clinton.

02:03According to many analysts, more soldiers were killed in India's Kargil war than in the 1965 war.

02:11If you look at the situation before the Kargil war, it seemed that the situation between Pakistan and India would get much better.

02:19Because Wajib Bhai had visited Pakistan.

02:22And in a speech in front of the Minar-e-Pakistan, he announced that India openly accepts Pakistan.

02:29At that time, it seemed that both countries would end their tensions.

02:34And both Prime Ministers had also signed the Lahore Declaration on Peace.

02:40But maybe time needed something else.

02:43Kargil was basically a limited war.

02:52Very limited in the sense that it was fought on the peaks of mountains at an altitude of 16,000 feet.

02:59And this was a limited war. It was more of a guerrilla operation in the mountains.

03:06So it was not that there was a war in the whole country.

03:11It was not known at all in Pakistan.

03:13In the beginning, India beat them a lot because it was Pakistan's strategic advantage.

03:21At that time, the Indians kept quiet.

03:24When they used their weapons, air power, and artillery to push us back.

03:32At that time, they turned it into a complete election war.

03:36Because there were going to be elections at that time.

03:38And Wajib Bhai's government was there.

03:40And they broadcast it with a lot of excitement.

03:50So it was a war for India.

03:52Still, it was a limited operation for us.

03:54We felt that the Mujahideen were largely involved.
