Dear Editor,
The ultimate sacrifice our warriors have made in a 28-year-old proxy conflict in J and K, and brings forth the supreme sacrifice of Lance Naik Ghulam Mohiuddin who was recently martyred. We must pause for a moment and remember these warriors. What better way than to remember our soldiers through Michel De Montaigne’s words in an essay on glory: ‘Of the scores of valiant men who have died over the years not a hundred have come to our knowledge. Why amid so many writers and so many witnesses so few have come down to us? Those valiant people are those whom a darkened fame has hid.’
