Captain Saurabh Kalia (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Very few people in India remember Captain Saurabh Kalia or even know about him . It is shame , but it is true . Captain Saurabh Kalia was captured by Pakistani army during Kargil war of 1999 and was mercilessly murdered after brutal and inhuman torture . He was just 22 years old at the time of his death .
I have nothing new to say on Captain Saurabh Kalia’s case . I am re-tweeting some relevant tweets about Captain Kalia’s case from the twitter handle of Andhra Pradesh BJP IT Cell . I hope , for discerning and nationalist people , it will be a gentle and tearful reminder about the martyr . For heartless and emotionless brutes , nothing matters . For Congress , the Indian National Congress , the next election is more important and Captain Kalia can’t assure them victory . So for them he is not that important .
Andhra Pradesh BJP IT Cell , in fact , tweeted the verses of Venki . I was moved while going through the lines .
Lets Hang our head in shame while we read these Verses by Venki about Capt Saurab Kalia’s Sacrifice 1/15
They didn’t just pluck your eyes out, Capt Saurabh Kalia, They gouged out ours too. 2/15
Or would we have been blind to your father’s agony, His cry for ‘justice’ for all these years? 3/15
They didn’t just pierce your eardrums, Capt Kalia, They poured hot oil in ours too. 4/15
Or would we be deaf to your mother’s fitful sobs And her pitiful cry of anguish? 5/15
They didn’t just burn your chest, Capt Kalia, They carved out our bleeding hearts too. 6/15
Or would we, as a nation, have been so heartless As to forget our Kargil war hero? 7/15
They didn’t just mangle your private parts, Capt Kalia, They castrated an entire nation. 8/15
Or would we be so impotent that we yearn for aman While they plot yet more jihadi crimes? 9/15
When they ambushed you in the Kargil heights, Capt Kalia, They waylaid every one of us. 10/15
But you died so that we may live Our shameless, ungrateful lives. 11/15
We sent you to war at age 22, Capt Kalia, Which is no viable diable age. 12/15
And yet, we have failed to honour you The way your father sought. 13/15
AP BJP IT Cell @AP_BJP_IT_Cell
Shame on us – and , Mother India, That you would send your son to war And yet not collect his martyred ashes Or even shed a silent tear. 14/15
It is shameful that we have almost forgotten Captain Saurabh Kalia , a 22-year-old captain of our army and a martyr of 1999 Kargil war .
I have been often asked , why I keep on writing about matters other than actors , acting and acting institute ? My simple answer is that I want my students to know , apart from films , about our great nation , about the history of India and about the struggle of our national heroes . I am unable to think only about the next batch of my acting school or the coming films of my acting students .
I want my acting students to know about Captain Saurabh Kalia , a martyr , who sacrificed his today for our better tomorrow . On behalf of all the students and staff of Vidur’s Kreating Charakters , I pay my homage to the brave son of Bharat Mata .
Alas ! we have almost forgotten him .
