Kargil Vijay Diwas : India celebrates 21 Years of Victory in Kargil War
Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated in India on 26 July. In 1999, the Pakistani army crossed the Line of Control in Kargil and tried to capture India’s land. The Kargil war was fought for more than 3 months and ended on 26 July and both the countries lost their many soldiers. The war ended with India regaining control of all the previously held territory, hence re-establishing the status quo antebellum. Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated on 26 July every year in honor of the Kargil War’s Heroes. This day is celebrated in the Kargil–Dras sector and the national capital New Delhi, where the Prime Minister of India pays homage to the soldiers at Amar Jawan Jyoti at India Gate every year. Functions are also organized all over the country to commemorate the contributions of the armed forces.
The reason for the war was the infiltration of Pakistani soldiers disguised as Kashmiri militants into positions on the Indian side of the LOC, which fills in as the true outskirt between the two states. During the initial phases of the war, Pakistan accused the battling completely for free Kashmiri militants, yet records abandoned by losses and later proclamations by Pakistan’s Prime Minister and Chief of Army Staff indicated an association of Pakistani paramilitary forces, drove by General Ashraf Rashid. The Indian Army, later supported by the Indian Air Force, recovered a lion’s share of the situations on the Indian side of the LOC penetrated by the Pakistani soldiers and militants. Confronting worldwide political restriction, the Pakistani forces pulled back from the staying Indian situations along the LOC
History:
In the midst of heightened tensions after both of the rival countries had successfully created and tested nuclear weapons, came the Lahore agreement of 1999, in which both the countries mutually agreed to solve the Kashmir issue in a peaceful manner.
However, beginning from the winter of 1998, Pakistani troops began infiltrating towards the Indian side of the Line of Control (LoC) under Operation Badr, hoping to cut off Indian troops in Siachen and force them to retreat. The Pakistani troops had managed to capture a region between 130 to 200 square kilometres, before India responded with Operation Vijay.
The glorious Operation Vijay saw the mobilisation of about 2,00,000 Indian troops and brought a swift and final end to the conflict by recapturing all the previously lost posts and forcing the Pakistani troops to make a run for it. The Kargil was a unique instance of two nuclear-capable powers facing each other off in a conventional warfare.
In the end the then Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Shariff managed to get the US to intervene diplomatically so as to ensure an absolute end to the conflict.
This year our school is also going to celebrated the Kargil Vijay Diwas 2020. For the school students "Online QUIZ Competition on Kargil Vijay Diwas 26th July 2020" are conducted through this library blog.
The day came about in 1989 when it was established by the Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme. It was inspired by the public interest in Five Billion Day on July 11, 1987, the approximate date on which the world's population reached five billion people. The United Nations General Assembly decided to continue observing the day through its resolution 45/216 of December 1990.
Significance of World Population Day:
The day is significant because it highlights the problems of overpopulation, raises awareness about the effects of overpopulation on the environment and development. It also talks about the health problems faced by child bearing women and the importance of family planning, gender equality, poverty, maternal health and human rights.
Theme of World Population Day 2020:
The theme this year is based on safeguarding the health and rights of women and girls around the world especially during the time of COVID-19 pandemic. A recent UNFPA research highlighted that if the lockdown continues for 6 months, and there is major disruption to health services, then 47 million women in low and middle-income countries might not have access to modern contraceptives. This would in turn lead to 7 million unintended pregnancies. Apart from that, it could see a rise in gender-based violence, female genital mutilation and child marriages.
The International Plastic Bag Free Day is a unique opportunity to spread the word that a plastic bag free world is possible and that sound environmental alternatives to single use plastic bags are available. It is all about promoting environmental conservation by encouraging us all to stay away from the use of plastic bags and instead look for more eco-friendly alternatives. The day is also important in terms of increasing awareness of the dangers and the harm that is associated with plastic bags in terms of the impact they have on marine life, animal life, and nature.
