00:00For many in our country, this place, the Kargil War Memorial Address, is a place of pilgrimage.

00:09This is not a tourist spot.

00:11They actually come here and pay their respects to the fallen gods, to the fallen braves.

00:18Because it is said, how can man die better than facing fearful lords for the ashes of

00:24his fathers and the temples of his gods.

00:27And I caught up with the families of some of the braves of the Kargil War.

00:32For them, this truly is a place of pilgrimage that they return to again and again to feel

00:39close to the fallen braves.

00:43You decided that, one, you will become a doctor, and two, you will bring out the valor of our

00:50braves.

00:51Yeah.

00:52The first, my becoming a doctor was more or less something that I thought that my father

00:56always wanted because I grew up hearing from him and being told how much he looked forward

01:01to me being a doctor.

01:02And since he was so involved in my studies, I don't think I gave anything else, another

01:08thought after we lost him.

01:11But after I grew up, writing always was a great area of interest.

01:15The ambition really is to be able to tell all these stories of the brave hearts that,

01:21you know, there are two things.

01:23One is that not everybody is able to tell their own story.

01:27And the other thing is, due to someone else, everyone may not be very comfortable with

01:30placing that kind of faith.

01:32So as people who have, you know, say, whether you want to call it an interest or some kind

01:38of, you know, expertise in writing, I think like as brave hearts families and people who

01:44understand that pain, if we won't, who would?

01:49Actually, and when we talk about that pain, you'd written an article, Deeksha, about your

01:55father and his supreme sacrifice there in Kargil.

01:59And it pained you, but it pained you in more ways than one.

02:03Yeah.

02:04So the first time I wrote about my father was in 2015, which was 16 years after we had

02:09lost him.

02:10And I always say, everyone asks me that, you know, how difficult was it and how?

02:16And I always say that, you know, I think the sense of pride had taken over the sense of

02:21loss by then that I could write that article.

02:23It was the first time that I went and I, you know, did the research and I spoke with

02:27his fellow soldiers to ask, you know, what happened to daddy?

02:30We only hear stories, we had never figured out how did it happen really, right?

02:37And so spend time there.

02:39But I think that story of him led me to my first book called Letters from Kargil.

02:45And that is when I found out that it's so difficult to reach people.

02:50You know, soldiers, families, soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice to reach them and

02:55get their letters and journal entries because they didn't preserve it.

02:59And I think that was the moment when I realized it's so important for us to take that initiative

03:03and go to those families, wherever they may be, to tell their stories, because they will

03:08put their faith in us.

03:10Because I think it's a community of people who have given their loved ones for this motherland.
