We've seen real superheroes - Indian Jawaans




Superheroes is a term usually associated with movies, in this article however I'm not gonna talk about any movie but superheroes of real life. The fury of nature in Uttrakhand left the country totally shocked, several people were stuck and looking for someone to help them, save them, make them meet their families again. The task wasn't easy, the whole country had their hopes high with the army and they delivered under such intense pressure. They are the real superheroes, regardless of having a family of their own, they didn't hesitate to go to the disaster-struck Uttrakhand and save people. Country first - Indian army yet again proved that for them, country comes before anything/everything else. 

Our army had several obstacles in their way, leave apart reaching to the place where the rescue mission had to take place, reaching to Uttrakhand itself and looking for people stuck was itself a task in itself. The rescue mission had to take place at a lightning speed because as we all know, people were looking for immediate help in order to get saved and their only hope was the army, it's easily understood how much pressure was on the army.  In such scenario, we all solely from the human nature will certainly get nervous but these heroes were true "superheroes". Without caring about their lives they had just one aim - SAVING the people that were stuck.



What happened next is known to all of us. Most of the people got saved and the whole credit goes to the army, we cannot thank them enough. Some brave army officers also lost their own lives saving other's lives, if this cannot be labelled as "special" or "heroic" what can be! We often criticize our country for the problems that it has but we still have plenty of things to be proud of.. For our army officers, country matters the most. The country in which we live in, we do criticize it but the task or improving it, making it a better place to live resides with our army officers and I'm proud to say - our army officers succeeds at every step.

In Uttrakhand what took place wasn't a war but a nature fury - fighting against which is the toughest task of all. Going to a place where mostly everything got disaster struck and not only going there but going there to save people, I get goosebumps just thinking about the bravery that our "jawaans" have showed.



On this truly blessed day, I take this opportunity to thank each and every army officer that bravely saved the people in Uttrakhand, during which several lost their own lives but ensured that they did their task - their contribution will forever be remembered by us. Jawaans - you have made us proud, you have given us another reason to love our country and inspired the youth of our nation to join armies and show similar bravery. 

I salute the Indian army! :)
