It is crystal clear now that in recent attacks on Indian Army, LET is targeting only the army officers first. In all possibilities even an ordinary soldier at LOC should be adequately trained and empowered to eliminate terrorists even when he is not commanded by his officer. Now there is no choice for Indian army but to learn to be a ferocious and a cunning fighting force to give a fitting reply to all terrorists all over. Use technology, use snipers, use army commandos, use drones, use intelligence, use political approach and use a complete holistic approach in eliminating terrorists.

Remembering the time spent with you since when you are only 2 years old
with deep sorrow I saluite the brave child of India , Major Amit Thenge. My little boy who had made the supreme sacrifice for the country and made his family and chhindwara proud by his valour.
Major Amit Did his Share....................
we honor
Soldiers like Amit who protect our nation.
For their service as our warriors,
They deserve our admiration.
Some of them were drafted;
Some were volunteers;
For some it was just yesterday;
For some it’s been many years;
In the jungle or the desert,
On land or on the sea,
They did whatever was assigned
To produce a victory.
Some came back; some didn’t.
They defended us everywhere.
Some saw combat; some rode a desk;
All of them did their share.
No matter what the duty,
For low pay and little glory,
These soldiers gave up normal lives,
For duties mundane and gory.
