While I appreciate our soldiers' bravery, I wish the government would focus equally on improving healthcare and education. Patriotism is important, but so are basic necessities for common people.

The Tiranga Yatra is a beautiful initiative to remember our martyrs. My grandfather was in the army and these events make me emotional. We must never forget their sacrifices for our tomorrow.

Operation Sindoor has indeed boosted national pride, but let's not make everything about politics. The credit should go to our jawans first, then to any political leadership. They're the ones risking their lives at borders.

Seeing children participate in the yatra gives me hope for our future generations. We must teach them about our military history and values of patriotism. More such events needed across India!

The Major Sandeep Shankla Memorial visit was touching. We need more war memorials across states to honor our heroes. Maybe schools should organize regular visits so kids understand the price of freedom.
