Youngest Ashok Chakra winner
This is a write up about the youngest Ashok Chakra winner which came up on Rediff.
Its a pity that none of the national newspapers ran this story.
Captain Harshan gave up his life defending the country at the age of 26 !!!
From the article:
When others his age read fiction, he read the Bhagavad Gita. When others his age spoke about movies, he spoke about what the Gita had taught him. When others his age enjoyed the comfort of their homes, he fought terrorists in Kashmir. Yes, this 26 year old was an extraordinary young man. Never had his plans failed earlier. He was planning to come home, and he did come home. Alas! home they brought the warrior dead.
May his sould rest in peace and also of other unsung heroes like him.
