PLEASE DO NOT MOURN...

DO NOT MOURN PLEASE….

In recent few days I have read a lot of blogs and write ups full of anguish, pain, sympathy, empathy, salutes and so on for the brave sons of soil who made supreme sacrifice. I fully understand the sentiments of each writer who wrote on the subject.

I am here, writing today to request you all not to mourn the supreme sacrifices made by those Martyrs.

There are ONLY three noble professions known they are:-

Of a Teacher : who shows path……
Of a Doctor : who saves lives……
Of a Soldier : who saves lives by sacrificing his own…… 

For the readers who are not aware, I am putting two pictures here, please watch them carefully and remember these pictures always









If you ever come across a soldier wearing either of these two badges on the right pocket of uniform remember that this badge signifies that he/she has already sacrificed his/her life. They are BRAVEST OF BRAVE and that soldier wearing this badge is just waiting for the day for which he/she has been passionate about……putting himself/herself in the line of fire to save others. They are mentally robust but soft at heart and that is why they do what they do.

I read in comments on one of the blogs that “they are being paid to die” Ladies and Gentlemen, let me clear the cobwebs that have engulfed some of the minds….these bravest of brave wearing “BALIDAN“ badge are volunteers from within the soldiers and they are being paid meagerly as any other soldier for bringing up their children and looking after their families.

There is a huge difference between LOSING a life and GIVING life. I join everyone in mourning the precious lives which we lost. They were innocent and it is sad to see all that. BUT, for heavens sake please do not mourn the supreme sacrifices made by the BRAVEST OF BRAVE. Ask any soldier and he/she would like to reborn as soldier again. ONCE A SOLDIER, ALWAYS A SOLDIER.

When mortal remains of Maj Sandeep Unnikrishnan reached for the final journey neither the chief minister of Kerala nor any representative was in sight. Rodents, insects are afraid of flames…and devils are afraid of Holy Flames. The same insect was shunted out by Unni’s father..this is what he had to say:-

News article from The Hindustan Times 

Turned away from the house of slain NSG major Sandeep Unnikrishnan in Bangalore by his grieving father, Kerala Chief Minister VS Achuthanandan on Tuesday failed to show any grace in the matter. In fact, his reaction was that he'd never expected such “irresponsible behaviour from a soldier's father:”.
In an interview to a TV channel in Bangalore, the angry CM made matters worse by saying: "It was for Sandeep I had gone, otherwise even a dog wouldn't have visited them. I never expected this. A soldier's father should have displayed better behavior...It seems Unnikrishnan (Sr) got all worked up. He was blaming us for the delay in calling on him and taking many names, including that of the Karnataka chief minister.” 

Not that anyone wanted such morons to disgrace the place but point is that they fail to even remember the basic protocol of being human beings. I remember one senior General saying in 1999 when mortal remains of soldiers were just NUMBERS for everyone and I quote “A country which does not respect its soldiers (mortal remains) disintegrates sooner or later” no he did not mean or wish that country disintegrates but imagine the way he would have felt.

I am not aware of ethics in Police, but when family of Mr hemant Karkare refused to accept Rs 1 Crore from Gujrat Chief Minister, the feeling was same. Hence, I repeat myself. A soldier gives his life not for SYMPATHY, EMPATHY, SALUTE, MONEY or any WORLDLY THINGS..but for the HONOUR and GLORY of this great country of ours….For RESPECT and DIGNITY of the OLIVE GREEN.

If all citizens do whatever they feel will contribute to build a strong nation should DO, even small bit from each one of us in any which way will surely bring about change. One has to put oneself in discomfort to do that small bit but PLEASE DO……
