On May 3, 1999, a detachment from the Pakistani Northern Light Infantry crossed the LOC and captured Tiger Hill, Dras, Kaksar, and the Kargil sectors in Jammu and Kashmir. This was possible because at that time, the Indian Army would leave hill posts unguarded due to heavy snowfall. Taking advantage of this, the Pakistani Army captured these points in Kargil with little resistance! Pervez Musharraf himself had outlined the two main objectives for capturing these areas: First, to cut off Siachen from India. And second, to force India into negotiations on the Kashmir issue once Kargil was in their hands. But still how did Indian armed forces manage to overturn the situation and win the war! Well, there are so many stories of Kargil that were till date kept a secret from us. Let's discuss them today!
