The unseen pictures and less heard stories of Indian Army in Kashmir Valley - 'The Human Face"

Updated: Sep 4, 2020



There is also another side of the Indian Army, about which very few people have heard, "human face". ⁣

Just a few days ago news was getting viral on social media. The news was about molestation by army personnel. Many friendly Sangh critics and those opposing Modi were sharing that news on their walls, most of them were educated, people. ⁣

Background⁣


There was news that a girl was allegedly molested by army personnel. Due to the displeasure of the local people with this news, there were protests, in which three people died. ⁣

This protest was organized in Handwara against the alleged harassment of a student by army personnel. There was a stone-pelting first and then the army had to fire to control the crowd. ⁣

Meanwhile, a video of the girl has also uploaded, in which she has denied such an incident.⁣

Well, both the state government and the army are investigating the firing in Kupwara at their own level, hoping that milk will become the water of water. But this incident somewhere breaks the morale of the Indian Army. ⁣

Weaken our credibility in the world. Today, when wars are not fought only on the battlefield, the politically diplomatic war also happens and through propaganda, propaganda is spread and you are trying to defeat it. ⁣

The issue of Kashmir is also something where Pakistan is using deceit force and this is not a new thing. For the army also, working in this field is like walking on the edge of the sword. Any slight omission anywhere can be very expensive. The Indian Army is protecting the borders there day and night by playing on its life, there are no two opinions in this.⁣

The Human Face of Indian Army ⁣



There is another side of the army about which very fewer people know, that is its human face. During one of his reports during the floods in Jammu and Kashmir, many military officers and soldiers were helping the locals. ⁣

Probably, the soldiers and officers have been posted there according to the circumstances there. Most of the very well-to-do are humanely educated youth. ⁣

The Army's life is another name for living a life of great brilliance with challenges.

Because it still takes some time to get the help of the Center and the Omar Abdullah government was still roasting politics on it.


There was a double burden on the army, preventing the entry of terrorists from across the border on the other side to restore life here. ⁣



Think that even in such difficult clocks, the morale of the army was higher than the Himalayas.


Think night and night the bridge over the rivers and homeless have been supported. In a few days, the electric water school was all restored.


Slogans of Bharat Mata ki Jai were echoing everywhere. For the local people, the Indian Army stands there like a friend in every difficult clock.⁣


If ever you get a chance to talk to those soldiers or officers, then you will definitely talk for some time.


Most are barely 25-30 years old. You will be surprised to hear those people. Because they do not cringe like politicians or social media activists. ⁣



You will get to learn a lot from these youngsters. Actually, Pakistan's intent was not successful to provoke the people here. The floods in Kashmir brought the army and people very close. After this, when there was a synergy between the Center and the State Government, there was a ray of hope in the valley that there would be a dawn of development here too.⁣

This is not the case with the separatists and Pakistan. The common Kashmiri really wants only development, but his misfortune is that he is a victim of international politics. The tourism industry is doing well in Kashmir, but the condition of the farming industry is not very good. All the governments that have come so far have only worked to increase their troubles. Because the state government was also more inclined to maintain the challenges and problems. Amidst all this, only the Indian Army remains the focal point of the hopes and help of the common Kashmiri, because they are brought up every day, they salute and if there is any problem, then feel free to call them.⁣

Think about how many bridges and roads were built by the passion of these soldiers overnight during the flood days. It would have taken years to get Kashmir's life back on track if the army had not extended its helping hand.⁣
