It is the birth anniversary of General Arunkumar Shridhar Vaidya. He was born on January 27, 1926

A country that forgets its solders, is a country under a spell of proverbial doom!
No media has reported this, It is the birth anniversary of General Arunkumar Shridhar Vaidya. He was born on January 27, 1926 and was commissioned in the Armoured Corps in 1945 and saw battle during the Second World War. He served the Indian army religiously for more than four decades, attaining the highest position in it.
After operation Bluestar, being a Hindu, General Vaidya began receiving death threats from Sikh extremists (Khalistanis) and was said to be high on a Sikh assassination list, although the field commanders in Op 'Bluestar' were Gen.K.S.Barar, (a Jat Sikh who, thank God, is still safe. Lets pray for him to remain away from crazy harms way for all his life) and Gen. Sundarjee (a Tamilian with two wives. A spunk less General who rose to the position of its Chief, who could not say NO to Rajiv Gandhi's immature IPKF decision, but a visionary who could see future. He modernised Indian Army as no one before him did).
Gen Vaidya was gunned down on August 10, 1986 by the Khalistan Commando Force (KCF) militants Harjinder Singh aka Jinda and Sukhdev Singh, aka Sukha.
According to a 263-page memoir, published by Rupa & Co. on operation Bluestar, writer revealed that "Shifting to Pune cost Gen. Vaidya his life"?
Shamelessly, the Khalistani inspired and financed Sikhs made a movie , glorifying the dastard killers of Gen.Vaidya. Perhaps one of the the right decisions taken by Mr. Manmohan Singh lead Congress government was banning of this film.
I wish they also make some films of Khalistanis Terrorist who killed innocent Hindus. Kidnapped , raped and Killed attractive women, irrespective of creed. cast or faith.... and did not even refrain from urinating in the 'Holy Sarovar'(Holy bathing pond of devotees), and defecating inside the very Golden temple (at Amritsar) itself, just to save their lives.
The truth has to be told. I'll be unfair to the posterity, if I didn't.
