RIP Soldiers .... You have made your parents proud...
Salute the heroes Basappa Patil and Hasan Saab. This shows that the sacrifice to country is superior than any other duty. India please do not fight on the basis of religion, caste etc. Ours is the only country without any turmoil. just look at other countries around the world including western countries like USA. Hate is everywhere in the world.
May the soul of departed rest in peace.
This is true Jihad.
Literal meaning of Jihad is struggle.
Generally used for who participate in the justified war.
But now a days unfortunately Jihadists are labeled for different category of people, where some are rightly and some are wrongly labeled.
