Re: [IAC#RG] Job of Soldiers the World Over.

  Dr Rina Mukherji is absolutely right. She has, however, missed to add that for Jats & Gorkhas, too, it is equally a matter of pride to serve in the Defence Forces. 
  I endorse Veteran SSR Singh's views. After reading Dr Mukherji's comments, Mr Vaghela should hang his head in shame and disappear from the scene to avoid any further shock treatment.

I am not a soldier, but have had my own paternal uncles and many cousins serving in the armed forces. There are many who take to defending the country on their own free will. My uncles joined the army against the wishes of my grandfather, who was concerned about their safety. My cousins joined the navy and air force too, against opposition from their mothers.
Another uncle, a doctor, felt he could serve the nation best as a doctor in a field hospital, and became a part of the set-up.
 
In the case of Sikhs and Rajputs, it is a matter of pride to serve in the defence forces. It is nothing to do with being rich or poor; the same goes with Garhwalis and Kumaonis.

Dear All, (1). Great Singer of our times Lata Mangeshkar sang heart

from Mangeshkar or Nehru Family is Soldier to fight on borders. (2)
Not seen sons of Ministers, MPs, MLAs as Soldiers. (3) Not seen sons
of Bureaucrats
fighting on borders. (4) Not come across any son of Millionares or
Billionaires - whether Tata, Birla, Ambani, Adani, Ruia, Mittal - as
soldiers, (5) Not seen sons of HC/SC Judges as soldiers. (6) Who are
the actual soldiers then protecting the borders and doing great
service to the nation during national calamities?
