Our soldiers, who risk their lives on the borders, are our real heroes. Give seats in the train to soldiers returning from war, drop them in your vehicle if you meet them on the road, and provide them free accommodation in hotels. Respecting them is our duty, not a mere formality. Salute them wherever you meet them—there is nothing better than them in the country. When you organize feasts for the gods, give these soldiers the respect of a mother. To say that they take a government salary is a crime. All employees take a salary, but they risk their lives, stay away from their families, and endure every difficulty for our safety. Let us strengthen this tradition and increase the respect for soldiers. Jai Hind!
The soldiers of our country, who protect us by sacrificing their lives on the borders, do not only bear the burden of the uniform, but they also take care of the security of our peace and freedom. Honouring such heroes is our moral and social duty. This should not be a mere formality but should be the basic foundation of our culture, tradition, and national character.
Sacrifice of soldiers: An unforgettable service
The soldiers standing on the borders do not just face firing and snowstorms; they also fight the invisible enemies who hide behind our peace and security. They keep us safe from terrorism, infiltration, and natural disasters by risking their lives. Their life is a permanent struggle—neither day nor night.
Imagine, while we are laughing and singing among our loved ones during festivals, they struggle on snow-clad mountains, in hot sand, or against the raging waves of the sea. They protect the integrity and independence of the country by putting their lives at stake.
Honouring soldiers during the visit
If you see soldiers standing without a reservation on a train, then give them the respect of sitting by sacrificing a small part of your seat. This is not only respect for them but also appreciation for their courage and sacrifice. They are the people who stand at the border and let us sleep peacefully. This small initiative is a respect for their courage.
If you see us on the road, please help us.
If you see soldiers on the road going towards their destination, do not hesitate to drop them off at their next destination in your vehicle. This is not only a respect for them but also our national responsibility.
Accommodation and food facilities
If a soldier comes to stay in hotels, dhabas, and restaurants, he should be provided with free accommodation and food. This is a small contribution, but through this we can make our soldiers feel that the whole country stands with them. Every door should be open for them; every path should be easy.
Honouring the families of soldiers
The families of the soldiers also deserve the same respect, who are indirectly contributing to the service of the nation by sending their loved ones to the borders. It is as important to respect them as it is to respect the soldiers. These families also provide mental and emotional support to their soldiers while enduring their own hardships.
New tradition of honouring soldiers
In our society, on festivals and special occasions, we worship deities, do feasts and kirtans, but have we ever thought about what we have done for the soldiers who fight on the border to protect our freedom? Can’t we start a new tradition for them too? Like, in every city and every village, there should be small and big functions in honour of soldiers. ‘Soldier Samman Diwas’ should be celebrated in schools and colleges, where stories of their courage should be narrated.
Government support and civic initiatives
The government and civil society should together make honouring soldiers a national tradition. For this, local organizations, social groups, and business establishments should be motivated to provide special facilities to soldiers. For example, concessions can be given for their stay in hotels, food in restaurants, and transportation.
The beginning of a new tradition
Let us start a new tradition where every soldier is given the highest honour for their bravery and sacrifice. This will not only symbolize our national character but will also present a positive image of our society.
Our respect for soldiers should not be limited to speeches and slogans. It should be reflected in our behaviour and conduct. Our soldiers are our real heroes, and it is our duty to honour them at every step.
The sacrifices of our soldiers and the struggles they go through cannot be evaluated in mere words. They are our real heroes, who protect us by putting their lives at stake without any complaint. Honouring them is not just a governmental responsibility but a moral duty of every citizen. We can honour their bravery by doing small acts in our daily lives—whether it is sacrificing a seat on a train, helping them on the road, or providing them free services.
Not just the soldiers, their families should also get the same respect, as they too face mental and emotional struggles by sending their loved ones to serve the nation. It is the responsibility of all of us to honour them through our habits, behaviour, and traditions.
A culture should be created across the country where soldiers are not just given formal respect but are respected as an important part of society. This will not only be a tribute to their courage but will also strengthen our national unity and strength.
