General  post-mortem examination of bodies of six army men, handed over by Pakistan , revealed that the soldiers were barbarically tortured for many days before being killed. Our soldiers were subjected to a very barbaric treatment in which their ears ,nose, eyes, genitals were disfigured and chopped off and they were subjected to every kind of torture by the beastly Pakistanis for many days. They were then brutally killed one by one about a week ago including the 22 year old Lt Saurabh Kalia.

Pakistan has violated all values and norms of civilised behaviour and international laws, and the action is unpardonable.  They have violated all norms of decorum and civilisation.The six men, Lt Kalia and Sepoys Arjun Ram, Banwar Lal, Bhikaram, Moola Ram and Naresh Singh, were missing since May 14 when a patrol party went to locate the infiltrators in Kargil.

We all know and the world knows that soldiers fight for their country and not for themselves. Their uniform has to be respected. There are laws and international conventions to be respected even during a war.

We demand of Pakistan that the perpetrators of this barbaric crime against uniformed soldiers be identified and brought to book, Pakistan must also punish those responsible for the killing of S Ldr A Ahuja. I doubt the Militant nation would ever do that ,just cuz they are not use to do right things.

Our government shares the entire nation’s outrage over the savage treatment meted out to Indian army personnel. What we have witnessed is not simply breach of international norms but civilisational crime against humanity and barbaric medievialism. I am outraged and like a real patriot, I feel I have been personally violated and I think You must be feeling the same .

Liars as they are  Pakistan on the other hand   has strongly denied the soldiers were "mutilated" before being handed back, describing India's claim as "ridiculous". They  said the bodies were recovered from a remote and inaccessible site and their handing over to India was a gesture of "military goodwill." My foot, it was just a cheap and characteristic Pakistani way trying to prove the World how humble and civilised they are .

Further the beguilers add that Flight Lieutenant Ahuja's death remains a mystery & that  the pilot had made every effort to do just that.Strangely when his body was returned with full military honours it was full of bullet holes. The Pakistanis indignantly denied that they had killed him - they say he was dead when he was found. The Pakistani brigadier rather implausibly suggested that his parachute hadn't opened and that he fell to the earth like a stone. The fact that his parachute - plainly open - was lying at the brigadier's feet suggested that the truth was somewhat different.

The highest battlefield on Earth, the Siachen glacier is located beyond the stern end of the line of control that defines this   disputed territory of Kashmir.The conditions are so extreme that the bitterly cold weather claims more lives than the frequent artillery exchanges. The air is so thin that the trajectory of the shells is unpredictable. Avalanches and altitude sickness pose a constant danger - soldiers say one moment you can be walking with a man, the next he has vanished down a crevice never to return.To reach the forward positions involves using special helicopters, normal ones simply can't operate at this kind of altitude. It is an example of how difficult it is to fight to war in this kind of environment .

Sit back for a while and think about the men up there fighting in those deadly glaciers, fighting not for themselves , fighting for US . Just remember the food we are eating , the norms we are experiencing and the life we are enjoying is bestowed upon us by them . For us they might just be numbers, statistics and news ,but for some one they are fathers, husbands, brothers and sons .Imagine the misery of the parents who receives the news of death of their son, before they  get his first paycheck & the newly wedded widows. We at home enjoy the stupid & nonsensical cricket match & forget about the real heros and vanquisher up there ! we are just staying back and twittering "Comon' India Dikhado " But these men of distinguished valors are doing just that ,FOR US.
