As proud Indians we feel pained by the apparent apathy displayed by our citizens about the brave men who are risking their lives and even torture at the hands of Pakistani soldiers, while those whom they are fighting for are busy... watching cricket. This is not right. While not all of us can pick up arms and fight the enemy, there must be something we can do.

Here, is kargil in the map and the Loc. Ok, if you were too busy watching good ol'cricket then heres what Loc is...

Loc is the east-west line demarcated through Kashmir where Indian and Pakistani troops were positioned when a ceasefire was called to end hostilities between India and Pakistan on December 17, 1971. When the Simla Agreement was signed on July 2, 1972, this line separated the one-third of Kashmir occupied by Pakistan from the two-thirds of Kashmir occupied by India. Field commanders from both sides, along with a UN representative, went through the actual ground positions of the two sets of troops with a fine-toothed comb and on December 11, 1972, a set of 25 maps were exchanged by both sides and signed to agree and ratify the Line of Control (LoC).

Now, you know what Loc is, people my personal inteview with many of Kargil soldiers gave me the idea of their frame of mind and that was...

"Takat Vatan ki humse se Hai, Himat Vatan ki hamse hai, Izat Vatan ki Humse hai, Is Desh ke Hum rakhwaley..."

And all of them are ready to go and do it again and millions of us Indians are there to support them and we hope you are one of them...

You owe it to your nation!!!
