2017 at 2:52 pmI offer my deepest respects to the great soul and brave son of the motherland who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the greatest cause known to man. Very few are fortunate enough to offer their selves,soul and blood to their country. Blessed is this sacrifice, blessed be his soul. From being a family friend of this great man, I have seen what a family has to go through in the absence of a father and husband. But his sacrifice keeps egging everyone of us to be brave and never yield to hardships. May India have more sons like him. May he rest in peach. Jai Hind!!
