Soldier's Love

Hai Friends,

Recently I received a mail regarding  Indian soldiers who has sacrificed their life's for our nation and among them I fell more pathetic when I read one of the soldier's story So I decided to write about that in my blog.

 Capt. Vijayant Thapar (Robin)







Childhood :
        Born in 1977, His father Colonel V.N Thapar, is a retired officer. Vijayant always wanted to be in the Army. His favourite toys were guns. He would wear his father's peak cap, take his cane and march around like an officer.

       A lasting memory of his child hood was Robin running around sprawling garden, with his two dogs, Hirni and Alca chasing butterflies, catching dragon flies. In the evening he would be in the Paltan (Battalion), watching wrestlers, boxers and other sportsman . At the age of four or five he had already fired a pistol sitting in his dads embrace .

             Vijyant was always inspired by the talks of his father's exploits and his Uncle's various experiences in the Air Force. Vijyant's first love was to be a fighter pilot. However, he was very happy to join the infantry like his father.

            At about this time he was in love with an exceedingly lovely girl with sparkling eyes and a dazzling smile. Unfortunately the war cut shot the beautiful love story.

Beautiful scribblings of Capt Vijyant in his Diary

Battle Field

Ruksana :

            The six year - old Ruksana lost her speech when her father was brutally murdered by militants in front of her eyes in her village in Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir, but she was soon to discover her knight in shinning armour when a company of two Rajputana Rifles moved into her school in Kandi village. The 22-year old officer met her through the principal of the school and started loving the child immensely. Capt. Thapar and his "sahayak" Sepoy Jagmal Singh Shekhawat, who also died next to his "saheb" in the battle to capture the "Knoll" feature in Drass sub-sector, used to steal away from the unit and visit Ruksana each evening and take sweets and toffees for her.

 Final words from a 22yr old jawan to their parents : 

Father's Message :

Son,

                 The brave way you left this world, at the age of 22 is a measure of how you lived your short life and what you valued. In meeting the stark challenges of capturing Knoll against all odds, during the battle of Three Pimples with heroic coolness and single minded devotion to duty, you have achieved immortal honour. In death you have epitomised the spirit of national pride - an honour which makes every sacrifice worthwhile. Your actions will forever inspire generations of Indians to come. You have left us with pride for being the parents of a worthy son and a lifetime of pain for having lost a child we loved.
                                                                                                                                 -- Col. V.N. Thapar
