Kargil- The Afterburns!!!

On this special occasion of having completed 10 years after winning over the Tiger hill (pt 4897) and Tololing (pt 5140) back from Pakistani intruders, an article saluting the Indian soldiers, irrespective of their regiments, who fought the enemy fearlessly even after being at a disadvantageous position. But there remains concerns about the attitude of common Indian man and the government, which needs to be much focussed on.

We Indians, over the decade, are known to be insensitive towards sacrifices of our NATIONAL HEROES-in the true sense of the word-THE INDIAN SOLDIERS and not our BOLLYWOOD STARS! Thousands of officers and jawans sacrifised their lives for India's integrity but till date most of them are deprived of even the basic facilities from the government. The Indian media and the common man seem to find Bollywood affairs and Cricket affairs more interesting than the sensitive issue of our Indian soldiers which is also hardly highlighted. No one in the country deserves a place of honour than the Indian soldiers who inspite of extreme geographical and climatic conditions are working 24*7 to serve their motherland.

The time wasted by Indian bureaucrats in negotiating with Pakistan over the useless Baluchistan issue should be utilised in providing more facilities to the Indian soldiers who are stationed on the borders and better food, arms, ammunitions should be provided to increase their confidence on the government.

The basic education imparted to school going children in india says--

KASHMIR to the north......KANYAKUMARI to the south......ARABIAN SEA to the west....and BAY OF BENGAL to the east...

But if the government and the people of Republic of India remain insensitive towards the sacrifices of Indian soldiers, a day would come when students in India would learn--

AZAD KASHMIR to the north....LTTE to the south....PAKISTAN to the northwest....TALIBAN to the west....BANGLADESH to the east....NAXALITES within the country and CHINA over us...

Its high time that the Indian government should initiate COMPULSORY MILITARY EDUCATION throughout the nation, like our neighbour China, and inculcate sensitivness and responsivness among the Indians towards India and its defence forces.

Hoping for the best in the future, let us remember those who fought the war and worked hard to make it a point to save India's integrity. JAI HIND...!!
