Solution

The correct option is B India and Pakistan
The Kargil War was a major conflict between India and Pakistan happened between May and July, 1999. Armed men backed by Pakistan had entered Indian territory and occupied strategic positions. Pakistan backed terrorists occupied strategic positions in Kargil and attacked Indian defence forces.

In response to this, India launched Operation Vijay. India faced setbacks initially. However, the use of Bofors guns and planned operation turned the tide in India’s favour.

Pakistan retreated on June 14 due to India’s attack. The war ended on 26th July. This day is celebrated as Kargil Vijay Diwas.
