Jai Jawan
It was on this day 10 years ago, that Operation Vijay ended. No words are enough to salute the bravery and courage of the 527 Indian soldiers who lost their lives, and the 1300+ soldiers who were injured, in defending our country.
We, Indians, have a tendency to forget, and move on. Some days back, a person I know told me that it is a gift. I don't agree. If we don't learn from history, we might end up making the same mistakes again, and again.
Yesterday, on NDTV's "Big Fight" program, the sister of Late Capt. Vikram Batra, said that the families of the affected soldiers are not looking for money, but for recognition. It is a reminder to us all.
