With a lot of coverage about the recent rescue operation in Siachen, I was once again pushed to the same question.
Why?
Why would someone take up such an intense rescue operation? An operation that would put their own lives in danger.
Why would anyone put himself in danger to save other?
I was reminded of my last discussion with this childhood friend of mine and my last expressions on the same subject. He is also always, curious to understand this human trait and feels every person should serve in the forces for some time to understand this moral concept.
We spoke but then I thought…..
Lemme pen down some lines again.
Talking about the Siachen avalanche tragedy as we are now and the inspiring rescue operations led by the CO of the battalion, very few people know that the CO of 19 Madras is a Nepalese Gurkha. He has risen from the ranks, that is, he was a Jawan before he got commissioned as an officer.
It is not the first time that he has risked his life to serve a supposed alien nation.
He got a commendation as a young officer for his efforts in mine recovery operations during Operation Parakram in Rajasthan.
Later, he was located at the farthest post from the road throughout his Rashtriya Rifles tenure in Jammu & Kashmir, with his wife having a complicated pregnancy and ……and with no phones or mobiles.
She was in Nepal fearing for her safety, with Maoist insurgency at its peak at that time in that country.
The officer never let his concerns show.
I can testify that he refused to go to Rajouri to make a phone call to his home, because he didnt want to move out of his company before it got fully settled in.
How he came to know of the delivery and rushed home is another awe inspiring story.
It is easy to misjudge a man because he looks humble and unassuming. But once you dig under the surface, things get complicated.
What motivates him?....
A Nepalese Gurkha willing to sacrifice his life, his own life for the sake of South Indian Thambis?
Is it even possible?
Why does he do it?
Pending answers, the best we can hope for is that there are more like him who do more and talk less.
And this is the moral fabric of the Indian Armed Forces that is holding this sometimes nonchalant and sometimes ungrateful nation together.
It is just their way of feeling FINE.
I am fine.
