Answer:
Most of us take India’s freedom for granted. While the generation that went through the freedom struggle was fiercely protective of the values and ideals of the then leaders, the subsequent generations slowly forgot about them.
Not that it was something wrong. It’s quite natural for those who don’t have memories associated with those traumatic moments to allow dust to settle on the past slowly.
However, poignant stories of soldiers’ valour and victory move us all. Soldiers actively participate in the mission of guarding the country, while others closely connected to them by bonds of blood and brotherhood often spend sleepless nights praying for their safety and well-being.
The moving words on a war memorial of 13 Kumaon (Regiment) near Rezang La Ladakh for the 1962 India-China war, bear repetition as long as there are wars and there are brave soldiers: “How can a man die better than facing fearful odds; For the ashes of his father and the temples of his Gods.”
