76 CRPF Jawaans Dead; 1 Lac compensation

Indian forces- Army, Navy, Airforce, ITBP, BSF, CRPF, CISF and many more.
Most of the people may be well known about it or may be not. Indian forces; a name of Believe (to secure our life), a name of Proud (enemy needs to think several time b4 attacking on India).
We are having the 2nd largest Armed forces in the world.

Just check this news: then decide what u think;

On April 6, 2010,
In the worst Maoist attack, at least 76 CRPF and district force personnel were on Tuesday killed when a large group of Naxals ambushed them in the thick Mukrana forests of Chhattisgarh's Dantewada district.  The dead included 76 CRPF men including a deputy and an assistant commandant, and a head constable of the district police force.

Lets discuss about a socking news....read below 

On April 6, 2010, in its biggest strike ever, the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) ambushed a CRPF company in Dantewada and killed 76 policemen. The party issued a coldly triumphant statement. Television milked the tragedy for everything it was worth. The nation was called upon to condemn the killing. Many of us were not prepared to—not because we celebrate killing, nor because we are all Maoists, but because we have thorny, knotty views about Operation Green Hunt. For refusing to buy shares in the rapidly growing condemnation industry, we were branded “terrorist sympathisers” and had our photographs flashed repeatedly on TV like wanted criminals.

Days after the ambush, I ran into two paramilitary commandos chatting to a bunch of drivers in a Delhi car park. They were waiting for their VIP to emerge from some restaurant or health club or hotel. Their view on what is going on involved neither grief nor patriotism. It was simple accounting. A balance-sheet. They were talking about how many lakhs of rupees in bribes it takes for a man to get a job in the paramilitary forces and how most families incur huge debts to pay that bribe. That debt can never be repaid by the pathetic wages paid to a jawan. The only way to repay it is to do what policemen in India do—blackmail and threaten people, run protection rackets, demand payoffs, do dirty deals. (In the case of Dantewada, loot villagers, steal cash and jewellery.) But if the man dies an untimely death, it leaves the families hugely in debt. The anger of the men in the car park was directed at the government and senior police officers who make fortunes from bribes and then so casually send young men to their death. They knew that the handsome compensation that was announced for the dead in the April 6 attack was just to blunt the impact of the scandal. It was never going to be standard practice for every policeman who dies in this sordid war.

Small wonder then that the news from the war zone is that CRPF men are increasingly reluctant to go on patrol. There are reports of them fudging their daily log-books, filling them with phantom patrols. Maybe they’re beginning to realise that they are only poor khaki trash, cannon fodder in a Rich Man’s War. And there are thousands waiting to replace each one of them when they are gone.

Govt has just announced 1 Lac compensation to the Dead Jawaans.
The most dreadful moments of the whole news....

Just think the Person who wins Gold medal/world cup,, are getting about 3 crore. But 1 who sacrifice his life are getting just a promise of 1 lac, even we dont know is there anybody else in his family to arrange Bread/butter for them.
