India observes Kargil Vijay Diwas every year on 26 July to commemorate its victory over Pakistan in the 1999 war. The Kargil war was fought between India and Pakistan from 3 May to 26 July 1999 in the Kargil district of Ladakh and along the Line of Control (LOC). As India enters its 23rd anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas, tributes pour in from across the country for the soldiers who fought the war and laid their lives to protect the nation. Business tycoon Anand Mahindra also joined in and paid tribute to the fallen braves by observing a momentary pause.
Anand Mahindra took to Twitter to share a video on Kargil Vijay Diwas. "At some point today, we should stop whatever we're doing & pause for a moment to remember the incredible sacrifices of those who kept us safe. They never gave up," wrote Anand Mahindra while sharing a video. He also used the hashtag #KargilVijayDiwas. The video shows Indian soldiers fighting the war at chilling heights of 16,000 ft to evict Pakistani intruders and recapture posts as part of Operation Vijay.
