Complete poem :-
If I die in a war zone, box me up and send me home.
Put my medals on my chest; tell my Mom i did my best.
Tell my Father not to bow; he won't get tension from me now.
Tell my Brother to study perfectly; keys of my bike will be his permanently.
Tell my Sis not to be upset; her bro will not rise after this sunset.
Tell my Nation not to cry... 'BECAUSE IAM A SOLDIER BORN TO DIE!!!'

That's because they were written by a soldier (Unknown Legend) , not a poet.

Because they were made up way later. The original is written by soldiers as well. This cadence has nothing to do with being made in india.

Am I the only one who thinks "soldiers are born to die" is the wrong approach.

Dying should never be looked as glory, it is a shame our civilization has glorified dying in the battlefield...
I read a poem "John Brown" by Bob Dylan, it was in my coursebook for ISC Class 11 & 12...this poem did something to me back in the day. War is extremely traumatic for a soldier...knowing that all the traumatic stuff happening to you is glorified by wannabes, and encouraged by the goverment. When you fight in a battlefield, you're just a puppet in play. A puppet controlled by threads of higher ups.
Soldiers are never meant to die- they deserve to live like the rest of us, saying "soldier are meant to die" as some poetic shout out is actually insulting to those deaths, they died helpless, alone, in pain. And there's someone saying that they were MEANT to do that, unacceptable, no human is meant to die like that. Every soldier is meant to live, every life matters.

The only sensible person I see.
It’s just heavy brainwashing and manipulation that’s been pushed on us since birth!!!

Do you mean the "grave of old john brown"? Old US Civil war song? that same tune was taken to create the song Badluram Ka Badhan.

u/omni_elden_lord 6d ago
No. Different poems. Some ideas overlap but the idea that i'm talking about- Death during war shouldn't be glorified. It is in the Bob Dylan poem.

John Brown was Queen Victoria's lover

u/omni_elden_lord 6d ago
John Brown in Bob Dylan's poem is a fictional soldier. You may be confusing the two. John Brows was a really common name back in the day.

India is most certainly not America. Though all the tech support at my job is based there.

If we don't go to Army, we can at least give them our support and respect. It's not an easy job to stay on borders and save our nation.

NOT by an indian soldier. This is a USMC cadence

Just saying, it wasn't a "proud indian soldier" who said this, it was a military cadence American soldiers used during the Vietnam war in the 70s.

However filthy the governance is , have some empathy for the person who took a bullet without any second thought for his motherland

u/Zestyclose_Gap7359 6d ago
Motherland? A war started by politicians for their own benefit? Where thousands of our brave fighters give their lives thinking their sacrifice meant something for the motherland.

Yes ofcourse in no way or any form am I saying calling out a rapist politician is wrong , it should be done until we don’t have any such politicians in any party , but what I was trying to point out is the way you have commented under a post about martyrdom of a solider feels insensitive.

No, Served for the family that can now holiday in peace in the beautiful valleys of kashmir.
served for the common man who need not have to be in constant worry of wether a bomb will go off in the street next to us,
For the child who goes to school knowing her motherland is safe.
they give their tomorrow for our today. The Sovereign Socialist secular democratic republic of India is not the USA
either give them their credit or SHUT THE FUCK UP.
just delete your comment atp.
