In India, the conflict is also referred to as "Operation Vijay" which was the name of the Indian operation to clear the Kargil sector. he causes of the war was the infiltration of Pakistani soldiers disguised as Kashmiri militants into positions on the Indian side of the LOC, which serves as the de facto border between the two states.

        

  Location

Before the Partition of india in 1947, Kargil was a tehsil of the ladakh district, a sparsely populated region with diverse linguistic, ethnic and religious groups, living in isolated valleys separated by some of the world's highest mountains. The first kashmir war(1947–48) concluded with the LOC bisecting the Ladakh district, with the Skardu tehsil going to Pakistan (now part of Gilgit-Baltistan . After Pakistan's defeat in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, the two nations signed the Simla Agreement promising not to engage in armed conflict with respect to that boundary.

The town of Kargil is located 205 km (127 mi) from Srinagar, facing the Northern Areas across the LOC.  Like other areas in the Himalayas, Kargil has a continental climate. Summers are cool with frigid nights, while winters are long and chilly with temperatures often dropping to −48 °C (−54 °F).

      Result : INDIA got victory after 2 months 3 weeks  ( 3 may 1999 -26 july 1999. )

                                 मैं केशव का पाञ्चजन्य भी गहन मौन में खोया हूँ

                                 उन बेटों की आज कहानी लिखते-लिखते रोया हूँ
                                 जिस माथे की कुमकुम बिन्दी वापस लौट नहीं पाई
                                 चुटकी, झुमके, पायल ले गई कुर्बानी की अमराई
                                 कुछ बहनों की राखियां जल गई हैं बर्फीली घाटी में
                                 वेदी के गठबन्धन खोये हैं कारगिल की माटी में
                                   पर्वत पर कितने सिन्दूरी सपने दफन हुए होंगे

                                    बीस बसंतों के मधुमासी जीवन हवन हुए होंगे
