Mr. Brij, People are mourning the loss of this soldier and saying how brave he was. There is no doubt that he was brave, more brave than anyone of us on this blog.
We are saluting his service, but deep in our hearts we feel better that we are not in his shoes or in the shoes of any of his family members.
This lip service we pay to our soldiers is an insult to their sacrifice. In fact we do not give a damn !!! Why are we not pushing for an effective solution towards the Kashmir Issue ? Why are we letting our leaders off the hook with failed policies over the last 60 years ?
The soldier did his part, where are we and what are we doing to help his cause ?
How can we let elections be decided on issues such as renaming a road or building a mosque/temple ?
Why can't be demand better governance and accountability from our leaders ?
This major is a casualty of our failed policies. And if we really want to honor his sacrifice, we need to hold our leaders accountable.
What is our plan for Kashmir ? What is our strategic Goal ? What tools are we using to accomplish that ?
Lets not be shallow in our thinking. It is time for us to honor the sacrifices of our heros and we can do that by demanding better policies.
