preferred to die rather than opening their mouth in front of enemy...........story of brave jats of 4th JAT REGIMENT

b4 telling u more about jats. i think reading this ll give a fair idea about JATS
this a letter from father of an shahid soldier mentioning abt patriotism of his son Lt Saurabh Kalia
n 5 more brave soldiers of 4th JAT REGIMENT.

so here it goes

They died protecting our lives. Spare some time for these brave men.
Lt. Saurabh Kalia of 4 JAT Regiment of the Indian Army laid down his
life at the young age of 22 for the nation while guarding the
frontiers
at Kargil. His parents, indeed the Indian Army and nation itself,
lost a
dedicated, honest and brave son. He was the first officer to detect
and
inform about Pakistani intrusion. Pakistan captured him and his
patrol
party of 5 brave men alive on May 15, 1999 from the Indian side of
LOC.

They were kept in captivity for three weeks and subjected to
unprecedented brutal torture, evident from their bodies handed over
by
Pakistan Army on June 9, 1999. The Pakistanis indulged in dastardly
acts
of inflicting burns on the Indians with cigarettes, piercing their
ears
with hot rods, removing their eyes before puncturing them and
breaking
most of the bones and teeth. They even chopped off various limbs and
private organs of the Indian soldiers besides inflicting unimaginable
physical and mental torture.
After 22 days of torture, the brave soldiers were ultimately shot
dead.
A detailed post-mortem report is with the Indian Army.

Pakistan dared to humiliate India this way flouting all international
norms. They proved the extent to which they can degrade humanity.
However, the Indian soldiers did not break while undergoing all this
unimaginable barbarism, which speaks volumes of their patriotism,
grit,
determination, tenacity and valour *?" something all of India should
be
proud of.

Sacrificing oneself for the nation is an honour every soldier would
be
proud of, but no parent, army or nation can accept what happened to
these brave sons of India.

I am afraid every parent may think twice to send their child in the
armed forces if we all fall short of our duty in safeguarding the
PRISONERS OF WAR AND LET THEM MEET THE FATE OF LT.
SAURABH KALIA.
It may also send a demoralising signal to the army personnel fighting
for the Nation that our POWs in Pak cannot be taken care of. It is a
matter of shame and disgust that most of Indian Human Rights
Organisations by and large, showed apathy in this matter.

Through this humble submission, may I appeal to all the civilized
people
irrespective of colour, caste, region, religion and political lineage
to
stir their conscience and rise to take this as a NATIONAL ISSUE?

International Human Rights Organisations must be approached to expose
and pressure Pakistan to identify, book and punish all those who
perpetrated this heinous crime to our men in uniform. If Pakistan is
allowed to go unpunished in this case, we can imagine the
consequences.
