Perfect decision Modiji. I have always thought that instead of naming every road in india after gandhi family why not name them after real heroes from our defence forces. It would be really advisable to take a list of those soldiers who lead the forces in the front at Kargil knowing farely well that would die because of height advantage of enemy shooting at them while they were climbing. We can name some roads after them.

It’s indeed a the most appropriate decision taken by Hon’ble Gujarat C.M. Mr. Narendra Modi. We Parsis accept it humbly as a great tribute to one of our most worthy sons FIELD MARSHAL S.H.F.J.MANEKSHAW.
I agree with Mr. Rishi’s suggestion above that all our important roads and junctions and railway stations, etc. should be named after our valiant young and old soldiers who face bullets everyday from Pakistani side and lay down their lives for us citizens to enjoy this life, thereby bereaving their own families. They are the real heroes, not our netas who are bleeding the country and stashing ill-gotten wealth in safe havens abroad.
I would also say that the bereaved families of our valiant soldiers should be showered with lakhs of rupees by corporates who otherwise shower crores of rupees on our sportepersons. Sportepersons also deserve rich rewards, I don’t deny that, but do they lay down their lives in the prime of their youth, leaving their young wives and kids and parents supportless to face this cruel world thereafter ??
Millions of rupees should be showered on each of the families of our late soldiers to make them financially secure and to afford them a life of dignity and self-respect, instead of just Rs.5 lakhs, a govt. job and a medal. How far can Rs.5 lakhs support a young family ?? Is a brave soldier’s life worth only Rs.5 lakhs and a medal ?? It’s an insult to the late soldier who has sacrificed his beautiful life for the country.
Are our netas ready to spare a few crores for such families from the thousands of crores they have stashed away abroad ?? I am sure they can spare some crores for these families of soldiers because they keep on getting crores added to their accounts every year as it is.
