Here’s Why You Should Care. What started off as a heated argument suddenly became a moment of disgrace for everybody on The News Hour last night after Major General (Retd) G D Bakshi, a soldier who has served our nation on one single oath he took when he entered the army, broke down on National Television. While on the debate, he spoke in favour of the millions of soldiers who have given their life for India, how much the tricolour meant to him and his Jawans and how saddening it is to see a handful of people debating against this and dragging our pious National flag into a political mess. It’s such a shame that we’ve reached a point where we have debates on whether or not our flag must be ‘allowed’ to be hoisted in universities. The panelists (against the idea of the tricolour being unfurled on every university campus) discussed where one must ‘draw the line’ between being an extreme-nationalist and a patriot. The former being people in favour of the flag hoisting i.e. As someone who isn’t really “patriotic” in the truest of sense, but emotionally connected to this country for everything that it’s made us into, I condemn the attacks on journalists and the hooliganism of some leaders, I condemn the shouting of slogans on streets that demean our country’s image, and when I say I, I speak on behalf of millions of such people who share the same emotion as I do. We detest everything that insults the flesh and blood of our soldiers that have seeped into the soil leaving behind nothing but a safer country for you and I to live in. Smriti Irani called up the channel mid-way to reassure Major General (Retd) G D Bakshi with the best possible words that represented the millions of true patriots – “Tragedy of my nation today, that I see tears in eyes of a brave soldier like you. We are grateful for your sacrifices and services. Under that flag everyday, knowingly, unknowingly know this we shall be grateful forever.” General G D Bakshi also expressed his angst on Facebook in the wee hours of the morning – Maj Gen Gagandeep Bakshi : On Arnab's debate today i suddenly realised the difference between us soldiers and others. it suddenly hit me.it hurt me deeply to see what we have become. we have problems now with flying our national Flag.? I learnt with the greatest shock that so far the national flag has not been flying in our Universities? Why pray? Are they UN enclaves in Free India beyond the pale of our soveriginity? Are we required to sing the Communist internaionale there instead of our National anthem? Are the universities paid for by our taxes required to celebrate every Afzal Guru , every Maoist,celebrate every 76 brave CRPF boys who get killed by the Maoists? celebrate every single soldier who gets killed in J&K;? The problem is the sophisticated debate that these bastions of Leftist liberals have created. Every Patriot is a lumpen. the smart set , the real cool intellectulas support Afzal Guru. For that is the fastest way to a Noble peace Prize or even a Magasay Award( Get rich quick guys- who cares for that land called India).Only soldiers like us are stupid enough to become EXTREME NATIONALISTS. Only soldiers make that extreme sacrifice !! and all along we were told it was the SUPREME sacrifice . The Flag my friend is NOT a piece of tattered silk to us soldiers. It is the SYMBOL of who we are. it is for this piece of tattered silk that we have to Fight and DIE- we have NO choice. You DO! thats the differece
