26th November 2008: The Wake up call!!

26th November 2008, shook and woke a sleepy Nation. After a bloody aftermath, India woke up to a new dawn. After being free from the British rule for over 60 years, we Indians never woke up and stood against terrorism like we have done today. Terrorism and Terrorists had become a part of our everyday lives. It was like, we having our morning tea and breezing through the newspaper, reading a piece of news on terrorists intrusion, about faceless soldiers being killed, bodies being brought back, and letting the Martyrs go off. Then, it was just news for us. Mumbai terror attacks were a waking up call, an ugly souvenir of N.E. and J&K. Have you ever wondered, what was so different about Mumbai attacks compared to the everyday ongoing misery in rest of the terrorists brewed states? Every day, innocent people are being tortured and killed; often we hear news of an unsung hero dying. Then, why just Mumbai. It is something that Only YOU can answer.

Although, we woke up shouting slogans and demanding war however, as the time passed, the anger subsided. This does not mean that the cowardly acts have scared us. India may appear to be careless at times however, we still are and will ever remain a powerful, confident, and progressive nation. We have tagged ourselves as “Peace Loving” however; the fire that is now started to burn within us may just wipe YOU out anytime.

WAR, is not always the option and never the ONLY option. Kargil is a bitter truth. We fought and we won. We lost many soldiers and we forgot all of them. By naming roads and hospitals, by offering compensation, and by giving them a grand adieu is NOT ENOUGH, NOT ANY MORE. It is important that we know about those who laid down their lives for us and so we dedicate this site to Major Unnikrishnan who laid down his life in the Mumbai terror attacks.

The web site is dedicated to Major Unnikrishnan and other martyrs who selflessly died for us. It is a common platform to those who wish to pay their tributes to the fallen heroes. This web site will serve an important platform for those who have woken up to make a change, which can follow their path, and may die like them as well. Major Unnikrishnan heroic acts are also a gentle reminder to those who think that an army man is paid to die. His death led to a rising respect of the armed forces in the eyes of this nation. It was not merely “a death”; it was now “a death of a soldier.”

YES. We do agree that the evils of our society cannot be eradicated in one day but we can at least take one step towards that direction. This is our first step towards that direction by showing the true respect to the soldier who cared a penny when he took his steps towards death. Our attempt is not to bring the bad memories back but to keep Major Unnikrishnan and alike alive among us. This is just one step and there are many more to come.

Help us to take a leap!!
