While we will never forget the sacrifice of our martyrs, we couldn’t stop beaming with pride when the first we watched our country fight back! The Balakot airstrike, was a stern message that stemmed from our resilience and courage of our nation and armed forces. India took a firm stand and this date will remain etched in the nation’s heart forever- India will never forget. Being a part of this series has only heightened my respect for the jawans as I relived a defining moment in our country’s history.”
