Lt. Colonel Niranjan of the NSG’s bomb disposal squad became a martyr in the Pathankot terror attacks. He is now survived by an 18-month-old daughter and a wife. It is really sad to learn that we are losing on to brave men like him in lieu of the national security, but what is more saddening is that our politicians have failed to honour our men in uniform time and again. Here's a message by Lt. Colonel Niranjan’s course mate that will make you realize the pain of our soldiers and what really is going on in their minds...
Here Is The Letter That You Should Read At-least Once
My Coursemate, my Sutta Pal, Barrack-Type and Punishment-Type. Wish I could turn back the clock for you, Moron!
I would have ensured that instead of CDSE you would have cleared your Civil Services Exam. Your daughter would have had a father to watch her grow up. Your wife would have had a husband to grow old with. And you would never had had to fight to get a decent pension (Not that you would have needed one – everyone knows the price of a Babu’s signature).
I wish that you had not been a warrior, a leader of men and a guardian of an ungrateful nation. I wish you had been a pen-pushing Babu who charged you just for doing his job. I wish that you had not been an Officer And A Gentleman earning a hardship allowance of Rs.32000 in Siachen. Instead you should have been a blood-sucking Babu earning Rs.72000 HARDSHIP ALLOWANCE for enjoying the salubrious climes of Shillong or Guwahati. Or I wish that you had been a Corporate Honcho, who earns thrice your salary for doing one-fourth of what you do. I wish that you had been an AAM AADMI for whom nothing matters beyond the next increment,the next mobile phone or the next vehicle that he is going to buy.
I wish that you had been anything except what you chose to become – A Real Man, A Professional Soldier, A Leader Of Men, A True Son Of This Ungrateful Nation, Sworn to protect it at all cost. I Wish…I Wish… But You Are No Longer There…. So I can only pray that in your next life, you decide to do something worthwhile. Something… Anything…. Just Don’t Repeat The Mistakes You Made In This One..
R.I.P Brother… We’ll Meet In The Afterlife”
Next time you hear about a soldier or meet one, then please don't say that they get subsidies like CSD canteen, cheap liquor and cars to drive around. Forever proud of our soldiers, Jai Hind.
