Story
Sita is a young lady married to Major Khanna. Major Khanna was posted in the Drass Sector during
Kargil War and while fighting the enemy bravely, he was hit by a bullet in the chest and was seriously
injured. He was later shifted to the base hospital for treatment where his wife joined him. Seeing his
condition she was very upset and came out of the room and started crying. Major Khanna later
explained to her the proud moment when he was face to face with the enemy and killed at least 6
enemy jawans. He also explained to her the spirit of being a soldier and a soldier’s wife and not to
cry even if he dies while fighting for the nation. Sita reconciled and took care of him with devotion
and soon Major Khanna recovered and went back to defend the nation’s borders.
Note: This story projects the traits of courage and selfless devotion to the country which is an
essential quality of a soldier.
