Lt. Saurabh Kalia of 4 JAT Regiment of the Indian Army laid down his life at the young age of 22 for the nation while guarding the frontiers at Kargil.

Indian army or abt how to condemn the blasphemy? Blasphemy is an act which is intolerable in any religion...The best seller book The da vinci code drawn protests from all the christian community...why? coz they considered it as a blasphemy.At that time which christian was concerned abt the army??? Do i need to remind of a recent incident where the saccha sauda cheif was condemned by all the sikhs around the world...the reason being that he did a blasphemous act.At that time which sikh was concerned abt army??? These incidents drawn many protests,so it does'nt make the christians,sikhs,hindu's any less patriotic and any less indian.Here the question is abt ur faith and no one would tolerate a blasphemous act irrespective of any religion...R u trying to prove that the indian christians,indian hi
