Great Sons of India

While most of us are relaxing in the comforts of our home or sitting in the comforts of our office, thousands of people are working strenuously in the border areas, exposing themselves to the highest perils and uncertainties of life and vagaries of nature. They are silently toiling for their mother land unmindful of their struggles so that others can live and sleep in peace with all comforts.

Life in the armed forces is not like any other. Protecting one's country's borders thousands of feet above sea level at a blood freezing temperature cannot be just another job. Neither is battling in the blistering heat.

Unfortunately, these sections of people are mostly immersed in oblivion and their life comes to the limelight only when some tragic happenings befall upon them or when a military tension breaks out in the border. How many soldiers in the prime of their life become poor victims of the hurricane of animosity emanating from an enemy country! How many of them are tortured to death by our enemies!

But, can there be a more noble, dignified and righteous death than the death which embrace our dear soldiers while safeguarding the nation, least mindful of their pains and sufferings?  

This post is a humble dedication to the soldiers of the Indian army who made a supreme sacrifice in the Sino-Indian border by laying their life for the nation, about whom the entire 136 crores strong populace of the country is proud of.  

A Big Salute to you all! You never die!!!
