At times it appears the Indian
Army Jawan, who fights terrorism at the Line of Control is only fighting to
save his own house, but in reality he is fighting for all of us. But the
tragedy with Indians is that they show no solidarity with him. Our Prime Minister
preaches so much about terrorism in all international forums. But back home
India is a divided and selfish lot. People from all professions are only
self-centered about themselves and their professions. We don’t realise by
behaving in this insensitive manner tomorrow, people may desist from
fighting for the country. What will happen then? There is indeed a greater need
to feel for our brave jawans and we must perennially keep their morale high.
Colonel Anil Chawla puts it quite beautifully.

Col Anil
Chawla, a serving soldier of the INDIAN ARMY wrote this:
Will sending Pakistani artists back,
stopping cricket and business with Pakistan actually end terror from Pakistan?
No, it most certainly will not.
BUT there is an emotion called solidarity.
YOU CANNOT MAKE FILMS, PLAY CRICKET, AND
DO BUSINESS AS IF EVERYTHING IS FINE, BECAUSE IT IS NOT.
It makes the soldier wonder aloud, “Why
should I alone bear the weight of conflict?”
This conflict between India and Pakistan is
not the soldier’s personal war. He is dying and killing for you and me. Imagine
a situation in which the soldier felt, and behaved, like Salman Khan, Karan
Johar and Mahesh Bhatt? Imagine if a soldier walked up to his superior and
said, “Sir, while I am dying on the Line of Control, these people are going
about as if everything is absolutely fine between the two countries.”
Why should he alone sacrifice for India,
when others were making merry?
Patriotism and sacrifice is not the sole
responsibility of the soldier.
The United States boycotted the Moscow
Olympics in 1980, and the Russians did likewise when they boycotted the Los
Angeles Olympics in 1984. This is what happens when national interest is held
paramount. And this is what must happen now.
18 families have been shattered like glass
… But the pain of Fawad Khan’s departure is too much to bear, it seems …”
