The farewell 7 tributes are all Ok but lets be practical after one week no one will recall who was Gaokar. I hope the Army has a way of ensuring that the child's education is well taken care of without too much red tapism and the family is also comfortable. After all we spend so much for the defence this will be a pittance. Govt can never give back Omkar his father but should ensure a comfortable life.

Prasad Sirigeri, Indian casualties have, in fact, come down lately. There is a complex fencing system in some parts of the border, although, I understand it is yet to be completed. Slow progress because of the "babus" in Delhi. Generally, it is the case that Indian troops give as much back to them as they get. In this case, when an Indian patrol, including Ajit Gaokar, saw some Pak. soldiers crossing the LoC marker, they wanted to talk to them and approached them. That is when another group of Pak. soldiers not visible to the Indians started shooting at them. That is when Ajit got hit. Being trained soldiers, the Indians took up battle position and called for re-inforcements and the exchange of fire lasted 16 hours. Four Pak soldiers died, perhaps, while moving around to outflank the Indian soldiers. A soldier's life is closer to harm than the rest of us. No matter from which country they are from. According to Nawaz Sheriff, the Premier during Kargil war, Pakistan lost upwards of 4,000 soldiers. Indians lost about half that much. We can only go by second-hand sources. Pak army has been losing about 30 soldiers on average every two months over the lost two years, since the Lal Masjid stand-off. The recent incident at the LoC, has to do with the Indo-US Nuclear Agreement. Pak sees India's high profile as troubling.
