Let's learn to honour our Martyrs.......................!!!

The supreme sacrifices made by our brave policemen and NSG personnel while battling terrorists has shown that our securitymen are ready to sacrifice their lives for the safety of our great nation. In fact, Mumbai’s policemen held the fort till Army, the naval commandos and the NSG arrived. India lost some of its bravest officers like Hemant Karkare, Ashok Kamte, Vijay Saleskar and Major Unnikrishanan. A grateful nation mourns these brave soldiers of peace.
A major reason why our security personnel are becoming alienated is the indifference towards their contribution to protecting the nation.What should the defenders of our security and borders infer if one state government rewards a shooter for winning the Olympic gold medal with crores of rupees and another government pays Rs 5 lakhs to the family of a police officer who sacrificed his life to save civilians in the Mumbai terror attack?
