Every morning we wake up to freedom – to the comfort of our homes, the laughter of our children, and the luxury of peace. Yet, behind this peace stands an unshakable wall of courage – our Indian soldiers.
These are not just men and women in uniform. They are sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives – ordinary people with extraordinary hearts. In the prime of their youth, they choose service over comfort, duty over desire. While we celebrate festivals with our families, they stand guard in snow-covered heights, scorching deserts, and unpredictable terrains. They don’t ask for praise. They don’t expect rewards. They only hope that the country they love continues to breathe in peace.
They leave behind their aging parents, their newlywed spouses, and their newborn children – all because their first family is India.
Can a simple “Thank You” ever be enough? Can words ever measure up to the weight of their sacrifice?
The truth is – we are in debt. A debt that we can never fully repay. But what we can do is remember. We can honour. We can respect not just on Republic Day or Independence Day, but every single day.
Let us teach our children about their bravery. Let us respect the flag they guard. Let us be better citizens of the country they die to protect.
To every soldier, past and present – we stand in awe. We stand in gratitude.
Your uniform may fade, but your courage will shine forever in the heart of this nation.
Jai Hind.
