Today when I was surfing TV, I saw a channel’s coverage on “Kargil: 10 Years”. It suddenly reminded me of the days when this war happened. Remember the bedtime stories that we used to enjoy sleeping in our granny’s lap? Those tales told us about great wars, warriors and sacrifices people made. We enjoyed hearing them as fantastic fables and fell fast asleep. But here I was watching real life story. A person who sacrificed himself to protect us and our motherland. He is AMAR JAWAN.
This Amar Jawan is one Unknown Soldier. He works round the clock and keeps constant vigil on border to make sure that his fellow Indians are secure and have a sound sleep.Sometimes I feel he is giving us more than what we deserve. If any soilder out there looks back, he will only see loads of scams, selfish government and insane people readily gather to cut each other’s throat in the name of religion, region and caste.
Is this our thanks-giving to the noble soldier who is ready to become a martyr? Why should he fight for people who can’t stand for each other? Will the noble martyr’s soul ever rest in peace seeing the country he saved from enemies being torn into pieces by his fellow countrymen? These are questions for us to ask ourselves and act on them.
Let’s not just remember them only for a day and forget the next day. But remember them every moment and perform our duties towards our country. He is there to protect our nation from external forces, let’s make it secure from within. This is the true tribute we should give for his precious sacrifice.
Always remember:

Always remember:
“Koi Sikh, Koi Jaat Maraatha, Koi Gurakha, Koi Madaraasi
Sarahad Pe Maranevaala, Har Veer Tha Bhaaratavaasi
Jo Khoon Gira Parvat Par, Vo Khoon Tha Hindustaani
Tum Bhool Na Jaao Unko, is Liye Kahi Ye Kahaani
Jo Shaheed Hain Unki Zara Yaad Karo Khurbaani”

Padma
