The Kargil War, also known as the Kargil conflict, was an armed conflict between India and Pakistan that took place between May and July 1999 in the Kargil district of Kashmir. The cause of the war was the infiltration of Pakistani soldiers and Kashmiri militants into positions on the Indian side of the line of control (LOC), which serves as the de factor border between the two states. During and directly after the war, Pakistan blamed the fighting extremely on independent Kashmiri insurgents, but documents left behind by causalities and later statements by Pakistan’s Prime Minister and Chief of Army Staff showed involvement of Pakistani paramilitary forces, led by General Ashraf Rashid. The Indian Army later on supported by the Indian Air Force, attacked the Pakistani positions and, with international diplomatic support, eventually forced withdrawal of the Pakistani forces across the LOC. Examples of high altitude warfare in mountainous terrain which posed significant logistical problems for the combating sides. This was only the second direct ground war between any two countries after they had developed nuclear weapons, after the Sino-Soviet border conflict of 1969, it is also the most recent. India and Paskistan both test detonated fission devices in May 1998, though the first Indian nuclear test was conducted in 1971. The conflict led to heightened tension between the two nations and increased defense spending by India. In Pakistan, the aftermath caused instability of the government and the economy, and, on October 12, 1999, a coup d’ etat by the military placed army chief Pervez Musharraf in Power.

Defence

As we all know terrorism has become just a breaking news everyday.On 26th Nov 2008 we were attacked at the hotels Taj Oberoi and also the Nariman House. Before the 26/11 attack several blasts had taken place in Mumbai, Delhi, Jaipur, Allahbad, Varanasi etc . It has bees 6 months since the attack but still everyday we hear news reports about Kasab who was arrested as he was involved in the 26/11.
Why I’m telling about these attacks is because this is when our defense heroes sacrificed their lives for our protection Hemant Karkare, Ashok Kamte and many other officers sacrificed their lives for us.
Even the Armed and Naval forces require so much strength. They can’t even think of tomorrow-would they be alive or would they die in the war. I would say a big "Bravo" for them. "Jai Hind" to them. They are able to give protection because they are united but we people fight, we are sometimes too mean with our own country citizens diving ourselves into Hindus Muslims, Sikhs and Christians pores:- if Raj Thakre really had the feeling that only the Marathis should live in Mumbai then, where was he during the attack. The forces who protected Mumbai had every type of religion sect in them. Therefore, we learn a lesson that we should be united to make our nation better.

What do we understand by the word Defence?
- Is that all about money, fame, or something else?
- I, know its all about the love that one has for country, people, their mothers….and also the passion to do something for our mother India.
- We all are aware of the three forces Navy, Army and Airforce, one is more difficult then another. It’s not an easy deal to centre the world of our armed forces. They have to pass the training, theory and so many things for the selection. In my opinion, the heroes or say actors are nothing in front of these officers. SRK, Salman, Shahid… they themselves feel that the real heroes are ones who are staying far away from their homes, at the borders of the country and not having any extra comfort facilities, but still they are doing there job with the most they can do.
- They are always in a do or die situation through out their lives. Is this an easy thing?-No, its not.
- We all are well aware about the incident of 26 November 08. (Mumbai attacks). The terrorist literally captured the famous Hotel Taj at Mumbai in Maharashtra and our forces did the best to protect the innocent from the serious attack. It’s a common example that I can put before you. Thanks to them for such a great service they are doing.
They have pledged to serve the nation and to protect our country and its people from the enemy. They are the brave men and women who serve in our armed forces. We salute them! Jai Hind!

Thoughts for the day patriotism (related to defenses)
It’s better to have fought and last, Than never to have fought at all, Cowards die, many times before their deaths, the valiant never taste of death but once.
Breathes there the man, with soul so dead who never to himself has said.
This is my own my native land.
