Character of a society is reflected in the manner it demonstrates gratitude and support to the brave men and women who protect the nation ensure people are free to pursue their dreams. And as our own Kautilya , the great political strategist, wrote to Chandragupta Maurya centuries ago: “The day the soldier has to demand his dues will be a sad day for Magadha. For then on that day, you will have lost all moral sanction to be king”.<br /><br />To this I add, “If you cant stand behind our Armed forces, feel free to stand in front of them!”Anand Rathorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14768779067635315825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486040465686199050.post-15553357817411233842010-11-11T14:29:48.543-05:002010-11-11T14:29:48.543-05:00Soldier’s Ghost
