Making of a Soldier “IF DEATH STRIKE BEFORE I PROVE MY BLOOD, I SWEAR I ‘LL KILL DEATH” - CAPT MANOJ KUMAR PANDEY
No. 02/2018BAATCHEETwww.indianarmy.gov.in | February 2018 MAKING OF A SOLDIER “IF DEATH STRIKE BEFORE I PROVE MY BLOOD, I SWEAR I ‘LL KILL DEATH” - CAPT MANOJ KUMAR PANDEY INDIAN ARMY IS GUIDED BY THOUGHTS OF INDIAN PEOPLE AND IDEAS OF EXCELLENCE War memorial (A series covering War Memorials across the country to remember our soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty) TANOT WAR MEMORIAL The history of Tanot War Memorial is associated with two major wars fought between India and Pakistan in the years 1965 and 1971. A Victory Stupa stands tall in the temple premises bearing testimony to the success and valour of Indian Army in both the wars. It serves as a mark of remembrance for the glorious sacrifices made by our soldiers in line of duty. It salutes the brave hearts who feared nothing and laid down their lives while defending their motherland. SADHEWALA WAR MEMORIAL The heroic saga of the ‘Battle of Laungewala’ remains incomplete without the mention of the action at Sadhewala, a small hamlet in the midst of the Thar Desert. In memory of those who laid down their life for their motherland, this memorial was constructed by 3 GRENADIERS during their tenure in Jaipur . 2 | February 2018 In this Issue……. FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Every citizen plays his role as per his ability but the role, which a soldier plays while safeguarding the frontiers of the motherland, is most important and unique. A soldier lives for the nation and dies for her dignity. Hence the training of a soldier is a bedrock of Indian Army. -
