[et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”]”Don’t rest in peace, heroes of OP Vijay. Cajole us, wake up this nation.
Kick us, for we fail you every day.
Accuse us of corruption, for we are selfish and fall short of your expectations.
Tell us we are mere candle-lighters and spineless because we lack the moral fiber to stand for our country.
Don’t rest in peace, for if you do, the country will sleep and fall into a slumber of caste and religious division.
How can you rest in peace when you lived up to the Chetwood Credo and more, while we merely use your name to justify our existence?
The war memorial is still in Drass and has not reached Delhi in the true sense. Don’t rest in peace.
Your holy souls are required to prove that our country still exists.
Don’t rest in peace, because you are a symbol of a united India. If you rest, we will polarize and disintegrate.
Haunt us and taunt us, for we all want you to rest in peace. But if we see you, our heads will hang in shame.
Stand tall, as mothers no longer give birth to men with a spine.
Rise, rise again in each one of us until an awakening is reached.”[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column]
