I am sure they never wanted to fight…… But they were ready to die for our country. I would any day prefer to celebrate each n every day WITH them than this one day without them… Kargil Vijay Divas.

On #VijayDiwas, along with saluting our soldiers for their sacrifices & commemorating the hard-fought victory in Kargil, let’s also take a moment to remember that so many lives were lost to the futility & stupidity of war. If we truly love our soldiers, give peace a chance!

I hate wars, but then sometimes it is inevitable to fight some. Kargil was one such. A war that was treacherously imposed upon us. We Won, but after losing so many precious lives. Salute for giving up your lives to protect the country. #KargilVijayDiwas
