Today India celebrated 10th anniversary of Kargil War, a war which was far from conventional or even a widely spread one, but yet claimed the lives of 527 of India’s bravest soldiers. Who fought the enemy in a terrain and altitude, where normal people have difficulty walking from one place to another, carrying just our own weight!
There are no words which can do justice to the valiant act of our brave soldiers, to whom we are indebted forever. Here just a few photographs of the Drass War Memorial, which I took in my previous trips to Ladakh, if you too are going to Ladakh, don’t forget to stop at the memorial to pay homage.

HELLO YOGESH.
I HAD VISITED DRASS WAR MEMORIAL WITH MY FRIENDS 2 YEARS BACK ON 21ST JULY BUT AT THAT TIME I DIDN’T KNOW THAT EVERY YEAR ARMY CELEBRATE THEIR VICTORY IN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WAY WHICH I JUST WATCH ON TV.I MISSED THIS CELEBRATION AT THAT TIME BUT I’LL DEFINATELY GO THERE NEXT YEAR WITH MY FRIENDS
Sukhpreet, while Kargil War Anniversary is celebrated every year at Drass War Memorial, I don’t think it is celebrated in the kind of fashion it was celebrated this time around. However it would be a good time to visit the memorial and pay respect to the Martyrs of Kargil War.
Hello Yogesh,
I want to do something for all the people who sacrificed their life for Hindustaan.
I would like to help these families. I’m here to make little change in their lives. I know it’s little late but not that late.
Please provide me their names & address.
I’ll be visiting India in Jan 2010
or if there is a place or Office i can visit & get their addresses,
Please advice?
Thanks
Nidhi
