"When you 'Care' no distance is Too Long and No Journey too Arduous."
as Recd from Maj Gen MS Balhara, SC
Dear Ungrateful Countrymen,
If you want me to give you Freedom, it won't come free. Let's make a deal.

Deal:
You don't Forget our Martyrs & I won't Forgive your Enemies.
I want to make it very clear.
Unless you learn to RESPECT ur Martyrs like the Westerners in the story below, I can't assure u that India wont be invaded again.
You want to be Slaves again?
Choice is yours!

"Some Will Never Forget Their Dead while Some Simply Won't Remember."
Many years ago standing on the Rock at Gallipoli I had wondere what do these Brits & Aussies have in them that even with a full half century and a quarter gone by they still throng to this desolate place?
👇

Why do they travel housands of miles away from their homes - only coz their nation will never allow the memories of their martyrs be forgotten. The annual ceremony at Gallipoli is an extremely poignant and emotional affair.
👇

2nd/3rd gen descendants - who never even saw thr kin who fell at Gallipoli, stand in solemn silence grieving with moist eyes & lumps in their throats. Australia sends at least 3-4 ministers while senior reps of their MoD as well as Pentagon are also in attendance.

These thoughts got rekindled in 2014 when we hosted Prince Andrews at the Kohima War Cemetery. The Prince was on a world tour in commemoration of the 75th year of Queen's coronation.
👇

His planned 2½ day iternary in India incl visits to Chennai (Madras), Mumbai (Bombay), Kolkotta ( Calcutta) & Delhi.
All venues of obvious choice – after all what better way to rekindle the colonial Raj than to take the Royalty to each of erstwhile Presidencies of the Raj!
👇

Needless to say, at each of the venues he'd have been assured of a grand reception and a gala time.
But what did he choose?
The Prince politely declined all offers of gala times and receptions.
He requested for a one and a half day visit to the Kohima War Memorial.
👇
9
His reasoning was simple.
He was on a tour to pay homage to those who had kept the Union Jack flying high!
He landed at a sweltering Dimapur, refused a heptr flight to Kohima, coz he wanted to get a feel of the road rendered so vulnerable in face of the advancing Japs.
👇

For a scheduled 45 mins ceremony he spent nearly two hours, visiting each and every grave. Returned the next day to Delhi, visited the India Gate and flew out to Singapore the same day.
No visits to the Taj or any other 'must visits' places for foreign dignitaries!
👇
11
To my query, as to why had he come all the way when a symbolic wreath at India Gate wouldve sufficed.
His ans was simple:
"Because we care, and when you care no distance is too long and no journey is too arduous."

Suddenly, It became crystal clear: 'Some never forget their dead, Some simply won't remember!'
The Key Diff between their Ldershp & Our Ldrshp!
We lost 20 of our Best at Galwan on 15 Jun last year!
Lets see if our Ldrshp rises to remember or fails us again.

Its said that once Russi Mody, of Tatas, was on an official trip to Bombay. Even though it was a Sunday morning, Russi needed to visit Bombay House, the Corporate Hq of the Tata Group.

Russi decided to drive his Mercedes himself as it was a Sunday and there was very little traffic and also it was the chauffeur’s day off.
He was dressed casually in shorts and a T shirt, Knowing that he would take just a few minutes to finish his work in Bombay House ...

As it was a non-working day in the business district with low traffic, he decided to take a liberty & park his Merc in a no parking zone.
A conscientious tfc cop noticed all this & immediately rushed to Russi just as he was sauntering off towards the Bombay House entrance.

He used to take my daughter to school when all was well. I knew him as a soft spoken, cab dvr to whom I could trust to send my child with. He is a poor guy, who at times used to ask to pay the monthly fee in adv, if car had to be repaired, or even to get fuel filled.

In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?"
She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams ...

Yes, I know you."

The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?"
She again replied, "Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too ...

About a century or two ago, the Pope decided that all the Sikhs had to leave Italy. Naturally there was a big uproar from the Sikh community. So the Pope made a deal. He would have a religious debate with a member of the Sikh community.

If the Sikh won, the Sikhs could stay. If the Pope won, the Sikhs would leave.
The Sikhs realized that they had no choice. So they picked a middle-aged man named Harbinder Singh to represent them. Harbinder placed only one condition for the debate - neither side would talk.

The Pope agreed.
The day of the great debate came.
Harbinder Singh and the Pope sat opposite each other for a full minute.
Then the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers.
Harbinder looked back at him and raised one finger.
