I wonder how many of us know even 3 names of the PVC winners, the highest gallantry award of the country(usually awarded posthumously) ? I won't even ask about MVC, Ashok Chakra & so many other gallantry awards. I am sure most of the people are not even aware of the names of the gallantry awards, leave alone the real life heroes who won those!!! Then ask anyone about these filmi chaps! Dozens of names will be rattled off just like that. I wonder if anyone is even aware of the salaries of our fauji bhais? A Commanding Officer who commands about 800 soldiers to the battle field & everywhere else, has a salary of around 40,000 rupees per month (Before taxes!). The day is not far when these brave souls also might be enamoured by the glitz of materialistic world. Army is already short of officers. Soon we will have corrupt ones too.
With such a "grateful" nation, probably we will deserve it too!!!
