The biggest change in Jammu and Kashmir since abrogation of Article 370 has been in the mindset of the youth. The youth of Jammu and Kashmir are fully prepared to actively participate in nation-building and are committed to protecting the motherland.
They are not falling prey to the false propaganda of Pakistani proxies, but are standing on the front lines ready to play a vital role in the development of Jammu and Kashmir and the country.
Today, the youth of Jammu and Kashmir have proven that they are truly “sons of the soil,” writing their own future and a new story for their state.
Amid Dansal’s crisp, wintry breath and beneath the solemn heights of the Trikuta hills, 262 valiant sons of Jammu & Kashmir inscribed their legacy deep into the annals of valor at the Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry Regimental Centre, Dansal, winter outpost of main Regimental Centre at Srinagar. With martial melodies stirring the cold breeze, these Recruits, clad in courage and pride, advanced with unwavering sprit, epitomizing the indomitable protectors of the nation.
The watch gaze of Lieutenant General PK Mishra, UYSM, AVSM, YSM, SM, GOC White Knight Corps, lent solemnity to a parade far beyond routine, the event resonated as a powerful anthem of defiance against threats undermining India’s sovereignty, especially following the recent events. This gathering wasn’t merely ceremonial, it was a vibrant testament to the seamless unity and fierce patriotism that thrums through the soldier’s olive-greens.
Dansal’s winter haze and soft sun, overlooked by the celestial Trikuta hills, added a profound dimension to the spectacle. As the final salute reverberated through the winter mist, the Tricolour soared high, symbolizing these youths steadfast march forward -not just stepping, but charging ahead, rifles firm, with motherland pulsing within their hearts.
The reverberating words of Lt Gen PK Mishra echoed a message of deep commitment- these recruits serve not just a uniform, but the very essence of India. The proud families, honoured with the ‘Gaurav Padak’ in recognition of their selfless support ,witnessed their sound transformation from spirited recruits into formidable nation guardians, casting a lasting vision of courage, resilience and hope, a narrative etched in the soul of the nation.
