PUNE MIRROR (pg15, 1JULY2011).
A garbage truck which carries
filth everyday for the last ride of our martyrs is not only an insult to their
bodies, their families but also the tricolor wrapping them. Ask those who lost
their dear ones what it takes to deserve the tricolor on one's dead body, and
they'd get a lump in their throat. We don't see men in uniform protesting for
hike in salary or against hike in commodity prices though they're also the one
to bite the bullet exemplifies that it's the pride in the uniform and the
country which keeps them going without complaining. They're a breed apart, they're
the ones who forsake the life of comfort so that we can lead one, spend their
lives in inhospitable and hostile conditions so that we can enjoy the bounties
of the nature, put their lives on the line for us and don't die until they're
dead to protect us. We owe them a lot. The culpable authorities and the people
in the know should hang their heads in shame for this aberration. The nation
wouldn't forgive the culprits who're also a breed apart for disgracing the
people in uniform who laid down their lives fighting the enemies within.
