NIRMAL JEET SINGH SEKHON

Nirmal Jeet Singh Sekhon

Does that name ring a bell?

Maybe, maybe not

But your country remembers him very well

And will continue to forever 

For even though he is with us no more

He is immortal in the pages of history 

He was an extraordinary fighter 

His courage was like no other

He motivates me that if one has determination, if one is self reliant

A ratio of one is to six doesn't matter 

Determination and bravery make that one person equivalent to a million 

He was a lone fighter surrounded by many enemies 

Fighting against overwhelming odds

But he fought like a tiger until the very end

His actions were awe- inspiring 

He sacrificed his life and became a martyr to protect his nation

But his sacrifice did not go in vain

He prevented the enemies from achieving any significant breakthrough in Kashmir 

He portrayed a vivid heroic act which makes it clear

That the sky quite literally was his limit 

And he touched it with glory
