There must be a separate Hall of Fame for the Armed Forces of India inside the Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi. The photographs of all the PVC Awardees (with full details relating to their deeds of valour) should be displayed there. This Hall of Fame should be maintained by the Chief's of Staff Committee. The present UPA government is totally incapable of this kind of selfless national vision.

Comment: Please read the full five part gripping articles (links to which are given below) of the "Services and Sacrifices" rendered by the Defence Forces to preserve the integrity of the nation. The fourth episode dwells on the contributions of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw. This well written series is authored by passionate patriot V Sundaram. We thank him for placing the Defence Forces in the true perspective and also for the wonderful photographs.
