“We
sleep at nights because the boundaries of the country are well-protected by our
great soldiers who sacrifice a lot even to the extent of their lives to secure
the country from any infringements, intrusions and invasions. Hence, we must
salute their indomitable valor and courage; and be proud of them for sacrifices
and patriotism” said noted author and head of Lingua Group, Dr Birbal Jha, who
is known as the ‘Youngest Living Legend of Mithila’ where Goddess Sita was born
in the second epoch- Treta.
