Real Hero V/s. Reel Hero

Hi Indians!!

Happy Republic Day!!

Do you know where the Indians (including me) remember their National flag? Only two days in a year. Once on the 15th August (Independence Day) and second on the 26th January (Republic Day).

Before the 1947’s, Indians only needed freedom and liberty. But after getting freedom and liberty, our priorities have changed.

I think this generation forgets our real heroes. Why we are underestimating our soldiers? “Soldier” it’s not just a word or a profession, it’s a symbol of pride, and patriotism.

We can see that everyone has their own dreams. Some would like to be a doctor, CA, Lawyer, Film Star, Cricketer, Engineer, etc. But there are very few who became a Soldier.

Not only that, but we are eager to see a bollywood star, cricketer or celebrities.And we won’t show interest or smile towards our fellow soldiers who serve us day and night.

 

Bollywood stars act in films and their fees are in Lacs and Crores. Cricketer play a match and they got very handsome amount. Our politicians also get highest amount as a salary, allowance, benefits, donations, gifts, and corrupted money. Do you know how much soldier earn? As per Source, they get fix pay scale Rs. 15,600/ per month, which is not more than Rs. 90,000/per month.

Bollywood stars act in films will still get paid, even if the movie fails. Cricketers play a match and regardless of if they win or lose, they get money. But what about a solider? Soldiers fight for our nation, if they win they get their fix salary and if they lose, they die defending.

Soldiers work hard for our nation, but they’re mistreated and go unnoticed. Can anybody remember Hanumantappa? Does anyone show interest in that soldier’s family, whose dead body was found without his head? Nobody is interested. Instead we are interested in which movie Amitabh Bachhan was hurt badly. We are interested in which match Dhoni make six and Virat Kohli make a Century.

All I ask is to show gratitude towards our soldiers, the same we show interest in celebrities. I am not against any celebrities or any other person. Everyone worked so hard, and reaches the top. I know it’s very difficult to make or act in a movie or play a match. But beyond that, soldiers lives are difficult, especially for their family.

Soldiers are our Antivirus. They work day and night and clear threats like terrorists,  and help survivors of natural calamities. We feel safe, because we know we have a very strong antivirus team.

This Generation preferres glamor. But when an earthquake striked Gujarat or a heavy flood destroyed Uttar Pradesh and Chennai  or when a terrorist attacked the nation, who do we remember? We remembered only soldiers, not celebrities.

I believe in truth and reality. And the truth is, when we have problems soldiers will stand for us So let’s appreciate our Indian Army more. Without them we are nothing. I salute to all the soldiers and heartily say, Thank You so much for your service.  

Jai Hind.
