Correction: This is not a picture of martyred Col Santosh Babu’s Daughter.
For every soldier who lays down his life on the border, there’s a family awaiting his return with hope.
This hope and a lot of other things are shattered when they receive the news of his martyrdom.
This heartbreaking picture of a child standing with folded hands in front of Colonel Santosh Babu’s photo puts this feeling into perspective.
Oh my God. Life would have come to a standstill in 20 homes tonight. Wives who will never see their husbands again. Children who will have to go through life without their father. Parents, siblings all with empty eyes looking at their doors. Heartbreaking reality in this pic. 💔 pic.twitter.com/VAYZSx5rqx

Really heart breaking. Little ones are the most sufferers. No words to explain the pain and sorrow.

True Sir! That image has hit my core. Makes me feel so small, so insignificant. Feel like going there and giving that girl a hug – not to reduce her pain (I can’t!) but mine.

No words can do justice to the spirits and courage of our soldiers sacrificing their lives for the nation. We salute these bravehearts and their families.
