they fought for their mother when somebody tried to attack her.
Everyday somebody or the other askances at our mother (motherland) with wrong motives, and we do not care for that. BTW, what should be the action even if one notices such stuff??? A powerless person as one is sitting in the office and expecting a soldier, policeman, minister to act on their part on the border, on the roads and streets only increases frustration.
Instead of just remembering great people we have to find what part we can play. This question often makes me uncomfortable. Somebody please help me on this.

You have got to find out what you Love. Stay hungry stay foolish. When you seek you will find it.
