We are all aware of the bravery presented and the duties dedicated by the defence personnel toward the safety of the country and its citizens. The army, navy, and air force are also the preservers of the history of the defence of India. Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated annually on July 26 in India to commemorate the 1999 victory over Pakistan in the Kargil War, where Indian forces ousted Pakistani troops from the mountain tops in Northern Kargil District, Ladakh. Kargil Vijay Diwas 2024 is a good occasion to know about five museums devoted to, and created and maintained by the three arms of the defence forces.
