IPS officer Narendra Kumar, Shaheed

One more young life has been ended abruptly serving our motherland. How many more young men and women will fight day in and out for our country?

I salute IPS officer Narendra Kumar for his relentless efforts to stop illegal mining and giving our nation the ultimate sacrifice. But in the same breath i need to ask what are we doing to end this. This endless need for our own citizens to die protecting our country, that too from itself. From its own citizens.

Today is Holi, the whole nation is celebrating. But pain and grief is all that his family has been offered on this day. Manjunath, Satyendra Dubey, Yashwant Sonawane and now Narendra Kumar, so many more knowns and unknowns.

We can't even come up with a proper land act, mining policy or even stop illegal mining. Across states, along the length and breadth of this country we are fighting this menace of illegal mining. Starting from Uttarakhand, where a Sadhu gave his life last year fasting unto death to save Ganga from  mining,  to Kerala where river bed mining is supposedly one of the biggest scams in the state.

In Goa just few days back, a Government lost elections which did not much against illegal mining. We have Andra Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh all fighting against illegal mining. At same time out political bigwigs are backing the illegal miners. The law is also not helping. Its very slow or totally ineffective. Yedyurappa has come out of mining allegation in a matter of months without a scratch. Now he is claiming that he will become CM again. So much for our media activism or People power.

There  will be more young men and women, they will not blink or question, they will give the ultimate sacrifice when called upon. But is it necessary that such young lives are put to an end. For no reason. Just to satisfy the wimps, fantasies and vices of some people.

Will there be one day, when we will not have to protect our country from our own people? Lets hope and lets work towards it.

I Salute  Narendra Krumar.

Jai Hind.

  1. When the entire India was enjoying Holi ,this honest officer was behind some corrupt locals to stop them from illegal mining. Top to bottom every one knowingly became unknown and did not even try to save his life. He actually did a lot for this nation .So I proud to salute him as a SAHEED and Indian modern day patriot who was not killed but saheed and sacrificed his life fighting against corruption. I also would like to know if now Is ANNA jee or his team going to fast against the MADHYA PRADESH govt. till the Govt. dismissed in high moral ground who was a real crusader and son of this soil. Not only me ,the entire India desperately expecting the positive answer from ANNA and his TEAM.

    1. I cannot agree more! But why wait for Anna Hazare. He is not the only person who can make a change. All of us can, we should all make an effort. When all of start making those small efforts, there will be change. For sure.

      Thanks for the comment.

      Cheers
