Kargil War (1999)

 Kargil War took place in the year 1999 betweenIndia and Pakistan from May to July, it was the geo- political conflict which occurred at the Kargil district of Kashmir along the line of control between both the nations. The main cause of the war was the penetration of Pakistanisoldiers on Indian side of the LOC.

Initially, Pakistan didn’t accept the fact and blamed independent Kashmiri rebellions for this illegal act but later the involvement of thePakistan became clear by the statements of Pakistani Prime Minister and Chief of Army Staff.

Indian Army bravely fought the war and later on was also supported by Indian Air Force and recaptured most of the infiltrated site and finally in July, Pakistani troops surrendered and withdrew from thepositions along LOC.

 The Kargil conflict resulted into further deterioration of relations between two nations. High Political and Economic tensions were caused in Pakistan as the consequence of this Kargil conflict whileIndia faced the 13th Indian General Elections to the Lok Sabha just after the conflict and undoubtedly NDA govt. was reelected to power
