DARE YE BE A JAWAN AND DIE FOR THE NATION?

DARE YE BE A JAWAN AND DIE FOR THE NATION?

If conscription be tomorrow in the wake of war, how many of you who are now clamouring for armed conflict ready to enter service and lay down your lives for the nation? The defence of the nation must not merely be at the cost of the blood of the jawans but the sacrifices must be shared equally by all those who are now sitting on the fence and raising raucous hoots to urge the nation into war.

I send this feeler to you all and await your response to gauge the degree of your commitment in potential deed as opposed to mere words committed to so very easily with no personal consequence to bear beyond enduring the rigours imposed by wartime conditions.

It will be blood alone of the soldiers that will flow while the cowardly clamours continue to excite passions that will fruitless fail when the hour of conscription arrives for these providers of exciting entertainment.

Now think again. How many of you, who are in endless ruckus demanding war for the soldiers, yourselves willing to lay down your lives for the nation? If you are ready to do so, then forthwith join the armed forces instead of spewing frothy sentiment over the media. If not, then join the human army of nation-builders and spend your life's energy in contributing to the well-being of the nation. But do something beyond hurling mere verbal invective at the enemy. 

Jai Hind !
