Jai Hind 🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏
I love my pets so much but i wouldn’t actually do this. I don’t have any dogs, just birds but I’ve been around enough dogs to know they would rather you live and they die than you dying trying to save them. I’m not trying to diss him, he made his choices. This is just overall a sad thing. Now his other dog and his wife are going to miss him and have to learn to live without him.
You won’t understand the heart of a soldier.. many hero sacrificed themselves to save this nation.. they are the reason that you are sleeping peacefully.. it doesn’t matter whether it’s a dog or country.. they will do their duty..
My comment is from the side of Indian. I hope GOD should take the soul and Rest the soul in peace.
Yet Indian army should find out how the fire burnt the hut. As in army lot of things are happening such as high alcholic behaviour, Wife swapping, no mutual trust among husband and wife or Jealousy among officers This should be investigated properly and stopped. Two years before we heard a Naval officer wife shot herself. No one knows the cause and neither truth. Truth is pricky. Kindly investigate and find. GOD should give Major or his wife’s family lot of strength.
Thousands of opinions on any action taken by anyone in Army.. In our States i think this much bravery and commitment to protect as well as save a living soul be it any animal would surely be shown by Dog squad NCO.. As an officer its is expected that he will be dutiful always..
PL don’t make opinions by media TRP news. In order to get more viewing just link things to army is norm of day. CRPF or even private security guards are reported as army jawan. NCOs of army are reported as officers. Many things you mentioned are happening much more in the society but when army is added to these it becomes a glorious news. A person indulged in some wrong activity is no news but if added with army man it becomes sensuous and army officer it become much more sensuous. PL try to introspect and understand this. Deed by army major in saving his dog is not that small . Nowadays ppl even don’t put their life in trouble even in saving their near and dear ones.and look at the sacrifice by officer. May God rest his soul in peace and give str to his family
Major Ankit died saving a LIFE! BUT —- WHAT A MAN! 🙏

Real Human show his Humanity whenever it required. Because “Humanity” is only the religion due to which Human beings are still here.
To save Humanity our Ancestor make Religions. But some Evil thought people make it their weapons and misguide to their followers. ….

Nice guy! What a bravery ? Masha allah ! , Deep condolences to his family …😢 anyhow Raw courage is to be avoided …
He is true human and true Hindus. Hindus Sanatan, respect each life. This is an example. God live long Hindus
I won’t be surprised if he had selective compassion in that animals and birds he ate were bereft of his compassion. Would be typical Hindu hyprococy.

He is true human and true Hindus. Hindus Sanatan, respect each life. This is an example. God live long Hindus.

Extremely sad incident but it shows how careless army are in winter living in wooden house & using fire without care & without fire fighting safety
Aap chronology samajhiye –
One muslim guy (rafaqat bara) commented and abused the honorable major. Some hindu people started making it a hindu-muslim thing. Then other muslims joined but surprisingly not even one of them applauded the major of took on shafaqat bara for his statement. Every single one of them was interested in asking to Hindus “why are you making it a hindu-muslim thing? Height of entitlement.
Jai Hind… Sir you deserve a salute from whole nation… But here still with fake IDs of muslims names spreading hatered by using non sence comments and some non sence people are believing on such comments… Think once before saying anything….
It was great to serve with u,but now am shocked that u r no more. May ur soul RIP. I miss u soooooo much.
