He was just days away from flying home to see his first child when he led his men in a bloody encounter with intruding militants in Kashmir valley and rescued a colleague caught in the firing line but the brave Major Dinesh Raghu Raman lost his life.

Jai Hind. But a certificate, a few lakh rupees and some tears is not enough for the family. They (the parents, wife and children) have to be taken care of till they can stand on their feet. I think there should also be some private initiative too. But our dirty politicians can never think of such ideas... I wonder how many politicians have their children serving in the Armed Forces. In fact there should be a condition that unless you don't have a child or a brother in the Armed Forces, you can't stand for election. Serving the country (with their life) is not the job of a few families alone. Some families and some communities (whatever stupid reason they have) think its somebody else's business.
