As India marks the 27th Kargil Vijay Diwas, a heartwarming and powerful performance by a group of young girls from Ladakh has won hearts across the Internet. The now-viral video shows the girls delivering a patriotic tribute to the Indian Army, honouring the courage and sacrifice of soldiers who fought in the 1999 Kargil War.

The performance was presented by Team Stringmo during the ‘Gauravmay Sanskriti’ cultural programme that was held at Vishwanathan Stadium in Drass. Team Stringmo was also felicitated by the Indian Army for its contribution to arts, education and community service. 

Kargil Vijay Diwas is observed every year on July 26 to commemorate India’s victory in the 1999 war against Pakistan. Indian soldiers fought under extreme conditions to recapture strategic mountain positions occupied by Pakistani forces and infiltrators. More than 500 Indian soldiers lost their lives during the conflict.
