LOC KARGIL !!!

Jis desh mein raheti hain namak-haram, aatankbaadi aur shaitan; ush desh ka naam hain Pakistan! Pakistanis are like poisonous snakes that may bite you even if you feed them with a bowl of milk every day. In the name of friendship, Pakistan showed their skills of betrayal and treachery. On 5^th May 1999, many Pakistani soldiers entered inside the Indian Territory through Kaksar after killing some Indian soldiers. Pakistani soldiers started firing at Indian villagers of border areas to conquer the Indian territories. ‘Situation is very serious. Connect me to Delhi.’ ‘Sir! The enemy plan is simple; to cut off Kashmir from Ladakh by attacking National Highway No. 1.’ Pakistani soldiers attacked from the top of the hills of the Himalayan range at the Indian soldiers who were at the plain lands. In that tough terrain, the ratio was assumed as 10:1.Therefore, maximum mobilization of Indian soldiers at Indo-Pak border areas was the need of the hour.

‘Bahaduri ka doosra naam, Gorkha battalion hain. Jai Maa Kali.’ ‘Humein dushman ko bahaar bhagaana bahut jaroori hain.’ ‘Unhi coffins ka badla lene ke liye main jaldi aaya hoon, Sir.’ Several battalions of Indian Army started moving towards Drass sector. The battalions were of 1/11 Gorkha Rifles, 13 JAK Rifles, 17 JAT, 18 Grenadiers and 2 Rajputana Rifles. ‘Zubaan ki tarah tere sapne bhi kaale hain saale. Dekh ho gaya na sapna saach.’ The Pakistani soldiers started firing at the vehicles of Indian Army which were passing through NH 1 of Zojila Pass. 17 Jat battalion reached Matayin and started the investigation about the enemy. 13 JAK Rifles battalion saw some coffins in a truck after reaching the Drass sector. 1/11 Gorkha Rifles soldiers entered Yaldar and marched ahead to meet the soldiers of 3 Punjab battalion and 16 Grenadiers battalion of Indian Army. ‘Aab Gorkha aa gaya hain aap logon ki madat karne.’ ‘Ish raaste se mat jaaiye saab.’

1/11 Gorkha Rifles started the first counter-attack against the Pakistani soldiers and succeeded in capturing back one outpost. In 17 JAT Base Camp at Mushkoh Valley, the 17 JAT soldiers had a meeting about the war strategies. ‘You consolidate your positions and don’t worry; I will be sending you the reinforcements.’ ‘Sir! 16 Grenadiers ke haalat bahut hee kharab hain.’ 18 Grenadiers battalion linked up with the 16 Grenadiers battalion. On that night, 18 Grenadiers Regiment attacked the Pakistani soldiers who conquered the Barbadh Bunker. 18 Grenadiers failed to capture the Tololing area from the Pakistani soldiers. A new reinforcement for 18 Grenadiers were sent to Tololing area. ‘Koi fire nahi karega, koi harkat nahi karega, jab tak nayi reinforcement nahi aa jaati.’ On 10^th June 1999, at Ghumri region, the 2^nd battalion of 2 Rajputana Rifles linked up with 13 JAK Rifles battalion. ‘Victory and glory will be ours!’ ‘All the best; Colonel!’

Another battalion of 2 Rajputana Rifles linked up with the battalion of 18 Grenadiers. 2 Rajputana Rifles Regiment had the artillery support. That was their advantage. ‘In 16.45 hours, 120 guns will open up.’ The Bofors guns helped the Indian Army to counterattack the Pakistani Army who were sitting at the top of the hills. On 13^th June 1999, 2 Rajputana Rifles attacked the Pakistani soldiers of Tololing Top. ‘Raja Ramchandra ki Jai.’ 2 Rajputana Rifles captured the Tololing Top. ‘Tololing Top par Tiranga lehera raha hain, Sir.’ ‘This is the turning point of the war. You and your boys have done a great job. Over and out.’ The Pakistani Army now started firing the artillery guns and this time they straightaway attacked at the administrative base camp of 13 JAK Rifles in Ghumri. 13 JAK Rifles Regiment fought back in style to gun down several Pakistani soldiers. ‘Hum logon ne jeet haasil kar li hain. Durga Maata ki Jai.’

‘This is the final assault plan. Victory will be ours. Satyameva Jayete.’ ‘Hindustani fauz nadi cross kar rahi hain.’ ‘Tu ek Bahadur Gorkha hain, marna hain toh maar ke mar.’ ‘Jeet hamari hogi, Bhagwan hamare saath hain. Jat Balwaan, Jai Bhagwaan.’ Soldiers of 18 Grenadiers battalion and 17 Jat had to face a very tough battle against the Pakistani soldiers. 1/11 Gorkha Rifles led their attack step by step with some steadiness. 13 JAK Rifles battalion attacked the Pakistani soldiers at Point 4875. 18 Grenadiers regiment and 8 Sikh battalion made the final attack on Tiger Hill. ‘Tiger Hill par Tirangaa lehera raha hain, Sir!’ Indian freedom fighters fought till the last drop of their blood to bring independence to India and to maintain that independence, the brave soldiers of Indian Army are always ready to sacrifice their life as martyrs. ‘Bharat Maata ki Jai.’ The soldiers of Indian Army gunned down all those bloody Pakistani soldiers to win the war of “LOC KARGIL”.
