On this Independence day, Parle G is paying tribute to the country’s armed forces who have been fighting against all odds to ensure that the nation could sleep in peace with a digital film. These soldiers are there when we need them, but their stories of bravery remain unknown. This wonderful film is a must-see for every Indian.

The heartfelt video brings out the true story of an army man and many others like him who protect our motherland. Although one cannot understand the Indian army’s valor in totality, the video’s accurate depiction will help us to grip the reality better. 

The braveheart sacrificed his today to give the rest of us a safer tomorrow. However, he is not the only one! Thousands of men and women in uniform with iron grit and determination, keep a strict vigil to protect millions of Indians. Little do they know that hundreds of kilometers away, a child, a brother, a sister, a mother, a father and a wife and a husband’s heart yearns for days at a stretch, just to catch a glimpse of their loved ones. Holidays missed, calls unreturned and messages unread, such is the life of our soldiers.

Days turn to nights and summers to winters, but our armed forces remain undeterred. Away from home and everything that they love, these soldiers have to pay the ultimate price just so we can sleep soundly in the comfort of our homes.  And, while their tender hearts beat for the nation, most of us forget the contributions of these unsung heroes. However, their stories of valor and courage should not be remembered only on one day but should be etched in our minds for days to come.

We tend to look at them as emotionless entities trained to fight, however, behind that facade, there lies a father, a son and a husband. Just like all of us, they too have families who wait for their arrival with eager eyes. They also want to enjoy a vacation with family, celebrate festivals with their loved ones and be with their kids to nurture them.

The tales of our armed forces courage and bravery deserve our undivided attention and heartfelt gratitude.

As a part of their #YouAreMyParleG initiative, Parle Products is asking people to share stories of such bravehearts who have been guarding our borders for decades.
