Every Indian contributes something as far as the defense of India is concerned. But the role which a soldier plays in defending and protecting the borders of India is really unparalleled. A soldier is the most disciplined lot of the nation. On him depends, to a great extent, the security and the stability of the nation.

A soldier’s life, no doubt, is very difficult and hard. It is he who obeys the orders of his commanders and does what is ordered by them. A soldier is a man, who keeps night – long vigils on the borders even in the face of great and grave dangers, for, he stands heroically before the force of the enemies.

A soldier faces death bravely. He fights to the last, in order to save his motherland. He sacrifices everything for the sake of the nation. It is he who has to live miles away from his family. It is he who gets into jaws of the death while defending his country.
