My father served in the Dogra Regiment. Reading this brings tears to my eyes. The families, especially the wives and mothers, carry the legacy forward with such grace. It's good to see them being recognized publicly. More such events are needed across all regimental centres.

As someone from outside India, I find this tradition deeply moving. Honoring the families of fallen soldiers is a powerful way to maintain community and respect. The story of Captain Sanjay Kumar inspiring students is also fantastic. Real heroes teaching the next generation.

Respect to all the Veer Naris and the Dogra Regiment! But I hope this honour translates into concrete, lifelong support for them—good pensions, healthcare, educational opportunities for their children. Ceremonies are important, but sustained care is what truly honours their sacrifice.

Jai Jwala, Jai Dogra! The Dogras have a legendary history. Having the event in Ayodhya adds another layer of cultural and national significance. And Captain Sanjay Kumar's interaction with students is perfect. We need more war heroes in schools, not just movie stars.

These women are stronger than we can ever imagine. To lose your partner and still uphold the family and the regiment's pride... it's beyond words. Salute to their quiet strength. 🙏 More power to the Central Command for organizing this.
