We do care about martyrs if....
by jaideep shirali on Jul 10, 2008 02:27 PM

We care about martyrs if they happen to be related to a politician. Many roads and chowks are named after some ABC (even their names are not worth remembering!), who is classified as a martyr and freedom fighter, only because his son the local corporator or MLA wants it. Sam or Kargil heroes mean nothing to our babus or netas. Our babus would not mind sacrificing soldiers at Siachen, by sending them substandard combat gear or supplies.

Do we treat our martyrs right?
