Sir,
I bought a copy of "The Daily Telegraph", London, for the sole reason that on its FRONT PAGE the editor has given FULL PAGE coverage to the British soldiers killed in battle in Afghanistan (attachment) .
Television, all the channels, BBC and others, are giving daily coverage to war there. The bodies of those killed are brought to this country by air and then PARADED through towns with full military honours with members of public lining the streets on both sides.
It is a proof of the VALUE placed on soldiers by people and government of this country. Naturally there are voices against the war in Afghanistan but the support and loyalty of the overwhelming majority carries the day.
The news today also tells us of increase in the number of young volunteers to join the army. Rising unemployment may be one reason but their Will & Spirit to Fight cannot be underestimated.
We NRI's see COLLECTIVE response, supported by media, to external and internal threats to this country.
