Kargil Vijay Diwas | 27 Years After Kargil War, Families Of Martyrs Remember The Nation's Heroes

Twenty-seven years later, these words still carry the weight of that loss. As the nation prepares to commemorate the 27th Kargil Vijay Diwas, families of the soldiers who laid down their lives during the war with Pakistan have gathered at the Kargil War Memorial in Drass, Ladakh. While the anniversary honours India's victory in the 1999 conflict, for these families it is also a deeply personal journey of remembrance, one that brings back memories of the loved ones they lost in the line of duty. A mother still remembers the exact dates that changed her life forever.
