There is a marked difference between a soldier and a labourer in the field of a village or a rickshaw puller in a town.The former too,though works for a pay,is for the defence of the country exposing his life to the peril the chances of which are abundant in a battle field,while in case of all others it is mainly to feed himself & his kith and kin.This subtler,but fundamental difference in their roles vis-a-vis to society and to the country at large,may please be understood.One who struggles for defence of the country cannot be equated with one who toils to fill his belly.I sympathise fully with the poor of the country,but that does not mean that they should be compared with warriors.I am not against emancipation of the poor and down trodden.
