Col. Prabir at the behest of the infantry battalion that led him to being honoured by the Vishista Sewa Medal brought with him the fiery energy that India boasts of at its borders. The immaculate discipline that is revered by civilians like us showed clearly in the demeanour of the retired Colonel. He gave us glaring insights as to how the Indian army is mandated to safeguard national interests from external aggression and internal subversion. He left us with the principles of Naam, Namak, Nishan: Naam i.e the name of the battalion that a soldier sacrifices his life for, the Namak of the country that they are ready to die for and the Nishan or the symbol that they carry to the battle along which the forces rally and protect our motherland.
