July 26, 2019, marks 20 years of Kargil war victory by India.
From remembering the sacrifice of our soldiers to revisiting the brave stories of their fight for the nation, there are many ways to observe this occasion.
The political leadership at that time with Atal Bihari Vajpayee at the helm did everything to ensure that our soldiers teach a lesson to the enemies.
Cut to this day under Modi government, the nation is evidently confident enough to feel that Pakistan can’t think of repeating a Kargil like misadventure as India has exhibited to the world, what our reactions are like, through surgical strikes and air strikes.
After Kargil war, the Kargil review committee set up by the government and many experts in the security domain had pointed out some shortcomings in the system that had given the enemy an opportunity to infiltrate LoC.
Anyway, without going into the details of any particular government report, let’s look at what did the popular opinion thought of the shortcomings at that time.
