Dear Readers, I have served in Uniform....so, please ... dont misunderstand me... My question is DOES INDIA REQUIRE MARTYRS....?
The Society has now been exposed to World...Thanks to Media.... Media is now playing "King-maker" or "Hero Maker" Job.. Now a days - HERO is not who is ready to sacrifice his life for you, but,HERO IS THE ONE WHO ENTERTAINS THE PUBLIC. So, modern day Heroes are ---- Cricketeers, Tennis Players, Film Stars (who imitate everyone), Singers, TV artistes.
Where is the person..who is ready to SACRIFICE his/her life for you..who ensures safety and security to society? NOWHERE. We start loving/respecting/adoring our parents..because they give us security/protection and affection, BUT they never dance in front of us, play cricket or do dramas.
Soldier in uniform is no less than them.They are treated as watchDOGS.Has any one gone to receive a soldier,other than his relatives?
During Indo-Pak/Sino-Indo wars,they were cheered by 'people', I call them,'spectators'...coz, no one offered to join the 'para-military forces to act as second line of defence".
All nations wants peace..but, Army is deterant, for unhealthy neighbourhood.
Ministers/IAS/Actors/Players..all of them exhibit swanky lifestyle, all at the cost of ONE man "WHO IS AWAY FROM HIS FAMILY - FRONT OF ENEMY TO RECEIVE BULLET"
I wish a day shud NOT come, when, India has to OUTSOURCE his soldiers/custodians, like our corporates do!! I Hope someone in media is reading this!

These defence people are realy the proud of nation. I witness Funeral of JP Yadav - Parliament martyar(who belongs to Neem Ka Thana- Sikar-Rajasthan- My home town). That fellow was first among to sense the entry of militants in parliament and responded openly. He die as a brave. But in reverse what our political syatem given him back- Afjal is not geting execution of death. Even their family have warned to return back all medals if Afjal will not be executed. This is completely our political failure

Yes Sir, you are right. I think, media should pay attention to this and should highlight the soldiers. Companies should take these real heros (who have shown there bravery) as brand-embassador etc.

Well said, but believe me we still have lakhs of youths in India who will join the army any day. I am myself working in a corporate world, come any day if the country requires me i am always available, better to die for the nation then living in a artificial world
