"War is not meaningless, it is just unnecessary"
War has been going on since the dawn of time. Wether it is humans fighting each other for their survival or the universe battling itself for its own existence, war has been going on and it will go on. To go on a much lesser level than the Cosmos, one of the one of the many wars fought by the Republic of India after its independence was the 1965 India-Pakistan War over the State of Kashmir.
It is believed that is this tragedy's wheels were set in motion during the time of April when Pakistani troops decided to infiltrate Kashmir and launch a full scale insurgency battle so that the state of Kashmir is torn apart from India. India retaliated with full force to this by sending its forces to Kashmir to send off the Pakistani insurgency troops. It was soon converted into a full scale war which reported thousands of deaths and the biggest tank battle since World War 2! One can only imagine the sheer number of the pile of tanks, money, and human lives lost in this tragedy.
September 2015 marks the Golden Jubilee of this war and an Exhibition "Shauryanjali" was set up on India Gate to honour the of the might of the armed forces, and many valiant soldiers who sacrificed their lives to save their mother land. This Exhibition is one account of the tragedies and winnings of a country and from personal experience I believe that they did a great job of communicating with the masses. There was a wide array of the Tanks, and Air Crafts on display which were used in the war. People were mesmerized by the collection and the sheer aura of all the heavy guns and artillery. All Of three armed forces had their fair share of time for showing their own cards up their sleeves but there were mainly two events which were an absolute hit. First, they had set up a stage for a wide range of performances to be shown. There were many more performances by Army, Air Force and even school children. Secondly, the Indian Army had recreated an indoor battlefield just beside the exhibition which became an instant hit and everyone was more than excited to see the realistic set up.
All in all, it was a great experience for me and surely for anyone who ever visited it. This Exhibition has been enlightening, fruitful and very much fun. Even though it was supposed to be for five days but because of the large public response, it was extended two more days. So a request to all the Delhiiets, today is the last day and hence the last chance for you all to see the glimpse of our valiant soldiers who were martyrs in one of the biggest war of India. Please do attend it, the entry is free, yet the experience is priceless.
