My father was in the Royal Armed Forces. After independence, the Indian Army fought in the 1962 China Aggression in minus twenty degrees wearing only one sock and canvas shoes. When he returned, his feet were gangrenous. He recovered and volunteered for Pakistan War in 1965. If he wanted, he could avoid gone to war. I remember the Pakistan attack of November 1971 very well. We were in Srinagar 92 GH. When the Sabre jets bombed, my whole family would lie down in open field in -4 degrees temperature to save their lives.
I am surprised to see that those who did not sacrifice even their nails are calling us traitors. I was not born in a Christian family by my own choice. I will remain loyal to my religion, where I was born.
Loyalty was the legacy of my ancestors and it will remain the same for me too.
A technical error in my Facebook post, gave rise to some misunderstanding. This was also clarified. Pseudo patriots of modern day are dancing naked in front of my house. They are abusing women, shouting slogans for arrest?
In the Army we easily used to greet each other with the words “Ram-Ram bhai”, today they are burning my house chanting the name of the same Bhagwan Ram…!!
Well, my eyes had to see this day, I have seen it. Soldier while giving the supreme sacrifice never questioned that he is laying down his life for Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Sikh? My Nation India, was all that mattered.
I was not born in Christianity not by my own will, I will die there. I cannot change my loyalty for the Nation or my religion. Every drop of my blood shouts LOYALTY. Namaskar to all 🙏🏼
