"5
years
ago
on
14th
February,
our
brave
hearts
at
Pulwama
gave
the
supreme
sacrifice
on
the
line
of
duty.
While
we
will
never
forget
the
sacrifice
of
our
martyrs,
we
couldn't
stop
beaming
with
pride
when
for
the
first
we
watched
our
country
fight
back!
The
Balakot
airstrike,
was
a
stern
message
that
stemmed
from
the
resilience
and
courage
of
our
nation
and
armed
forces.
India
took
a
firm
stand
and
this
date
will
remain
etched
in
the
nation's
heart
forever-
India
will
never
forget.
Being
a
part
of
this
series
has
only
heightened
my
respect
for
the
jawans
as
I
relived
a
defining
moment
in
our
country's
history."
"Coming
from
an
armed
forces
background,
I
understand
the
bravery,
sacrifice,
and
love
for
country
firsthand.
The
martyrs
of
Pulwama
made
the
ultimate
sacrifice
5
years
ago,
however
the
Balakot
air
strike,
filled
us
with
national
pride.
On
the
anniversary
of
this
historic
defense
operation,
this
sneak
peek
aims
to
honour
every
soldier,
with

who
reshaped
our

defence
narrative
