How many more lives are we going to lose before we realize war is futile. A salute to the real heroes of India who fight and lose their life for our better tomorrow. I can only hope, we make them proud by making sure India becomes the best in any and every industry.

Making the way through narrow valley 
The Leh-Batalik road is as notorious as the Srinagar-Kargil road. At its beginning lie staging areas, at its end fierce fighting and often, death. Jawans patrol the rugged slopes near Batalik. For them, there is little time for rest and little time to think, always poised on the edge of action. 
Capt.Vijayant Thapar (Robin)
He laid down for OUR BETTER TOMORROW At the age of only 22 
His Last Letter to his parents 
Moments before the final assault Capt. Vijyant Thapar (Robin) left this letter at the war front base, to be handed over to his family

WE WON THE KARGIL BUT WE LOOSE OUR BRAVE BROTHERS 
Lets Tribute this Independence day for those heroes who left their life and live their life for the nation.
Please don't wish 'Happy Independence’ day to anyone, just tell to remember those heroes and to salute them while listening our national anthem.
And say... "JAI HIND”, be proud to be an Indian.

Apart from them, there must be 100s if not thousands who laid down their lives for this country. 500 died in Kargil war only, many die daily fighting terrorists.Not possible to mention each one of them, but don't forget them either
Hey jaidev
Thanks for you commets :). Nobody's is forgetting anyone, I cannot vouch for politicians though. Like you said it is not possible to mention each and everyone of them. Its really sad that people are risking their life to see us safe and I don't think we utilizing the much given freedom properly.
