Immortal - A tribute to the Martyr (Haiku - 5-7-5)

Immortal - A tribute to the Martyr (Haiku - 5-7-5) Fighting till the end Chose our country over life Eternal hero! © Mandar Jayant Kokatay It is since 1971 that a flame which is often known as Amar Jawan Jyoti (or the flame of the immortal soldier) is continuously burning under the shrine of India Gate at New Delhi, the capital of India.  It is a structure consisting of black marble plinth, with reversed rifle, capped by war helmet, bound by four urns, each with the permanent flame. It serves as India’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Amar Jawan Jyoti is manned round the clock by soldiers drawn from the three services of the Indian armed forces. Wreaths are placed at the Amar Jawan Jyoti on Vijay Diwas, and on 26 January, by the Prime Minister of India, Chiefs of Armed Forces, and other dignitaries. More recently, an online portal has been launched by our veterans to honour the Martyrs. You can visit it at :-   https://honourpoint.faujipoint.com
