SAGA OF PATRIOTISM

ANUPAM KUMAR,
VVISM,HYDERABAD.
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
His parents,
indeed the
Indian Army
and nation
itself, 
lost a
dedicated,
honest and
brave son.
He was the first officer to detect and
inform about 
Pakistani intrusion.
Pakistan
captured
him and
his patrol
party of 5 
brave men
alive on
May 15,
1999 from
the Indian
side of
They were kept in
captivity for three
weeks and 
subjected to
unprecedented br
utal torture,
evident from their
bodies handed
over 
by Pakistan Army
on June 9, 1999. 
The Pakistanis
indulged in
dastardly acts
of inflicting
burns on these
Indian officers
with
cigarettes,
piercing their
ears with hot
rods, removing
their eyes
before
puncturing
They even
chopped off
various limbs
and private
organs of the
Indian
soldiers
besides
inflicting
unimaginable
physical and
mental
torture. 
After 22 days of
torture, the
brave soldiers
were ultimately
shot dead.
A detailed post-
mortem report is with
the Indian Army.
Pakistan dared to
humiliate India this
way flouting all
international norms. 
 However, the Indian
soldiers did not
break while
undergoing all this
unimaginable
barbarism, which
speaks volumes of
their patriotism, grit,
determination,
tenacity and valor -
something all of India
should be proud of. 
Sacrificing oneself for the nation is
an honor every soldier would be
proud of, but no parent, army or
nation can accept what happened to
these brave sons of India.
Below is the
list of 5 other
soldiers who
preferred
to die for the
country rather
than open their
mouths in front
of enemy -.
They were :-
1. Sep. Arjun Ram
2. Sep. Bhanwar Lal
Bagaria
3. Sep. Bhikaram
4. Sep. Moola Ram
5. Sep. Naresh Singh
 
Plz…
Remember,

his
colleagues
died on
the front so
that we
could 
sleep
peacefully in
our homes.
