The debate on Khukhri is unwarranted as we should not forget that Khukhri sank along with its Capt Mulla and his brave Jawans, which in itself speaks of the supreme sacrifice. In a way, INDIAN NAVY was the pioneer for alarming the BRITISH in 1946 soon after INA prisoners cases and a secret survey.V.Thapar, Khetrapal, SOMNATH Sharma, and thousands of other unsung heroes from the Defence/Para Military/Police forces had perished on the lines of Mulla.Does any child know the name of any of them who laid down their lives to preserve India of whatever we have been left with? Oh! What a drama was seen all over the country just last week when every political group was trying to encash the celebration of VICTORY DAY- 16th December 2006 in their own way fairly sidelining the widows/parents/daughters/wards and welfare of the class - Defence/Para Military/Police forces, whether in wars since 1947 or saving lives of the Parliamentarians. No wonder, Mrs Khetrapal, mother of Indias greatest soldier of 1971 War, stated in a public function on 16 12- 2006 in Delhi on VIJAY DIWAS, No mother would send her sons to Defence Forces in future as per present policies of Government.
