Bodies battered and minds shattered;
They carried on 'coz Victory mattered

The heights stay frozen, not with ice;
But by their blood and sacrifice

Sons and fathers, like you and me;
Conquered the peaks and set them free

Too many did we lose, too many did we bleed;
But they cared not for their own need

Fight they did till their last breath out;
Without a question, nor a doubt

Tear soaked letters did their families receive;
Written a few hours before battle-eve

Each letter has a story to tell, each word worth its weight in gold;
O how lucky they are, if only they could be told

Because the son came later, after a lag;
Enclosed in a coffin, draped in the Flag

Forget them not, nor their deeds of yore;
They must be made a folklore

For it is the least we can do for those who died;
With the flag in the mind, and the rifle by their side

This time of the year, the #ObituaryOfTheDay thread takes a really depressing turn, with day after day of obits of young men lost in the Kargil War, thanks to the delusional Musharraf who thought India would just acquiesce to his idiotic fantasies

The War was finally declared over, this day in 1999.
A LOT of young men had indeed come of age.
God Bless them all ..

Around this time in 1999, people were starting to talk about 'some' intruders in #Kargil.
MANY young men would come of age in the days that followed ..

In the end, I will add this video of the fate that befell the delusional, megalomaniac bastard who perpetrated the war.
Karma came calling & he died in an alien land, yearning to go back home. All in vain.
Well deserved, I'd say.
No tears were shed on his fate, atleast not by me.
