ITA’s Tribute To Real Heros of India On Occasion Of Independence Day

As India celebrated its independence day , as expected various channels came in with different programs with flare of patriotism. While some followed rituals by showing movies based on patriotism , news channels had prime minister speech ,followed by specially designed programs to mark the occasion.

ITA had some unique way of celebrating independence day. It did have standard method of bringing celebrities from television performing on stage but at same time it awarded and acknowledge ,real stars of India. They awarded various people in social service category , fight against terrorism and education.

Fight against terrorism awardees were outstanding in their courage , commitment and love for country. Police officer from kashmir who was awarded is inspirational story because all odds were against her. Born in conservative muslim family , she due to her strong will and support from her family entered police force.The era when she entered police force was peak of

militancy . Since then she has been instrumental in fighting terrorist. Being kashmiri and working in police force is noteasy thing to do. She not only would have had to fight terrorist but also the separatist and pro freedom , pro pakistan forces in kashmir. Her courage is matchless and her life an inspiration.

Other people who were awarded are nursing staff of cama hospital. 26/11 was worst terror attack on India. Worst because of modus of operandi of terrorist. But it is said when negative forces attack , positive forces are always there who show courage , determination to defeat them. In hour of need , strong characters emerge from people itself and do something which

is super human effort. Nursing staff of cama hospital did exactly that. When cama hospital came under terror attack , they acted swiftly ,switching off the light , shifting patients and at same time making sure delivery of new borns take place smoothly. The nursing staff didn’t leave , they didnt run away , they stood as wall between terrorist and patients. Two gave

their lives in line of duty. They were not soldiers , they were not trained to defend , they were trained to heal but when time tested them , they should courage of soldiers. They are worth saluting .

Third ones to get award are irony of sorts. When 10 fanatics in name of so called jihad entered mumbai to kill as many as possible , three Indians and believer of religion which these fanatics claim to belief took a stand. Stand not to run away , stand to answer their duty. Duty towards fellow human being. When kasab along with other terrorist was firing in cst , khan

brothers were playing cricket in near by ground. Both heard noise of bullets. Both rushed to cst and saw people lying on floor. Some dead , some about to die while some injured. The two teens took them to hospital ,without caring about their lives. Saving as many as possible was their quest. Similar bravery was shown by chotu chai wala . He too carried people to

hospital.

In education category baabar ali got the award. Baabar ali is from west bengal and at age of 17 he is principal of a school !!!!!!!!. Baabar’s passion of education and making sure that maximum people get educated made him start teaching and today he has his own school where 100 kids get education.

Lastly the one who got award in social service category. She has been working in what can be said as actual India, that is rural India. She works for empowerment of women.
