As a former British soldier and having spent many years working and living in India in the past, I have the utmost respect for the Indian soldier and the Indian people in general. Respect to the Indian military past and present.

While it is the supreme sacrifice and we as civillians or even the army men respect and admire that great soul and the legendary life he lived, we have to understand that he has lost the most beautiful gift of nature i,e. life and those family members who depended on him will now have to go through emotional and mental trauma. Coming from the son of an armyman and a defense aspirant I am no stranger to this feeling. I insist you please do check Maj Vivek Jacob 9 Para SF sir's video on Maj Nirmit Thakur sir's channel.

The intensity in his words and what he wants to convey is so high. I learnt a lot from this TedTalk. Quite motivational and really gives me direction in life. Salute to the Indian Army!

Gen Dua! Salute to you..Vande matram..Bharat mata ki jai.. It is the self esteem which drives you to create a collective self esteem aligned to a much higher cause that could even be to defeat the enemy and die in the battlefield and sacrifice your life for the cause of nation. A leader has to be honest and lead from front to inspire his entire team of soldiers with dedication and commitment to even lay down the life for his leader, the team and institution to which he belongs and for his country.. As I have served in Ministry of Defence in civilian capacity, I can understand the value of and feel each and every word of Lt Gen Dua...please listen to him with your full heart, it will enrich your soul and personality and teach you an invaluable lesson for your entire life.
