The Logical Indian Take

The armed forces guard India's borders in extreme weather conditions risking their lives for their countrymen. The jawans at times even sacrifice their joys and moments of happiness to put out strenuous efforts to ensure no border infiltration takes place

Time and time again, they have gone beyond their line of duty to help the needful citizens. The Logical Indian salutes the armed forces for their diligence towards serving the nation.
