#pradeepkumarji

there are some things you read and just have to sit with for a moment.

agniveer pradeep kumar ji from jhunjhunu, rajasthan, made the supreme sacrifice for this country.

he was young. he was brave. he was someone's son, someone's everything.

colonel rajyavardhan rathore called it "extremely heartbreaking and soul-wrenching" — and that's exactly what it is. there are no clever words here. no way to frame this that makes it easier to hold.

just a family in rajasthan that is grieving right now. a mother. a father. people who sent their son off to serve and are now facing something no family should ever have to face.

jhunjhunu has always been a land of soldiers. of people who give quietly and completely. pradeep kumar ji was one of them.

may he rest in the highest peace. 🙏

may his family find strength that surprises them. may they feel — even a little — how much this country holds them right now.

we don't forget. we won't forget.
