I asked him why don't you take a transfer outside Kashmir. He said his country needs him the most there. I again felt proud and envious of him.
On the night of November 27, Major Pitambare (3rd Para SF) was leading an operation to nab Suhail Faisal alias Mohammad Ashraf Shah, the supreme commander of Hizbul Mujahideen.
Major Manish got the information from his sources about the terrorists’ whereabouts. Wasting no time he attacked the camp killed the terrorist and in the process lost his life. He has a wife and a daughter- age 8 months.
Major Manish never said ‘I have a daughter’ before he took the decision to attack the terrorist hide out on the darkest of nights? He never thought about having a family and he being the sole bread earner.
THIS PLACE IS TO PAY HOMAGE TO ONE OF THE BRAVEST SON'S OF MOTHER INDIA! SO THAT AT LEAST A FEW PEOPLE REMEMBER HIS NAME.. FOREVER.
WE ALL SALUTE YOU SIR!!
LONG LIVE THE PARACHUTE REGIMENT!!
SHATRUJEET!!
JAI HIND!!

It is sad that not even single response is from gentlemen from the armed forces. Or may be they chose to hide their ranks so as to remain anonymous. But soldiers without their ranks prefixed with their names are non-entity like!
I had the fortune to serve Mother India while serving in Indian Army and it made me the man that I am today. There are many professions offering better remunerations and better recognition or both, but none as glorious as serving in the armed forces. There will be a generation to appreciate it only when war brakes out. What Kargil did to media in short spell is only a trailer. Whole Nation’s character and attitude undergoes a change after a war. Israel is living example. People change – Barkha Dutt is an example. Her journalism (quality & contents) have changed totally and differently. The attitude and aptitude changes with war – young officers of Kargil vintage are testimonies of this phenomenon.
