In his recent ‘Mann Ki Baat’ program, Prime Minister Narendra Modi recognized Jitendra Singh Rathore, a security guard from Surat, for his exceptional commitment to honoring India’s fallen soldiers. Rathore’s passion for patriotism has inspired the Prime Minister. Rathore has dedicated himself to gathering information about soldiers who died defending the nation. He possesses an extensive collection of data and images of heroes from various eras, including those who served in World War I. The Prime Minister recounted a poignant conversation between Rathore and the father of a martyr, which deeply influenced Rathore. Rathore also keeps soil from the feet of the parents of approximately 2,500 martyrs, symbolizing his profound respect for the armed forces and their families.
