Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated on July 26 in India. It is observed to commemorate India’s win over Pakistan in the 60-day Kargil War in 1999. The major point of contention has been Jammu & Kashmir. Given the 70+ years of fierce history between the two sides, the last full-fledged war that took place between the arch-rivals was in Kargil.
