The Kargil War of 1999 was fought between India and Pakistan on snowy peaks and in thin air. The conflict, which gave India a decisive military and moral victory over its reviled neighbour, continues to inspire films and shows.
The Netflix limited series Operation Safed Sagar recounts the vital contributions of the Indian Air Force’s Golden Arrows Squadron. The Hindi show, based on actual events and real individuals, examines how bravery, tactical brilliance and a typical Indian workaround altered the course of a conflict that was threatening to go in Pakistan’s favour.
