Folks,
In an effort to carry forward the legacy of Mohit we have planned to
get a book dedicated to Mohit published. This would be a book which
would be a compilation of short stories written by various authors on
real/fictional events highlighting instances of heroism, valor, courage
and one's love for the nation. I have had discussions with some authors
who have come forward to donate their stories for this noble cause and I
want to thank them from the bottom of my heart but we would need more.
In an effort to use the network of people here on this community, and
all for the common cause, I would like to extend the request to you all
as well to search and connect me to those people who can contribute.
Needless to say that this would need to be a donation from their side
since we wont have any remuneration except the copy of the book for them
with our heartfelt thanks.
I am pasting one of the email I sent
out to prospective contributors in case you would like to take a leaf
from it and make a call yourself across your networks.

Greetings!
I am the elder brother of Major Mohit Sharma, AC, SM, COASM who made
the supreme sacrifice fighting Pak infiltrators, killing five of them
and trying to save his comrades lives on 21st March 2009 at a young age
of 31 years. He was awarded the Ashok Chakra, highest peace time
gallantry award for his valor and patriotism on 26th January 2010
posthumously.
It is sad but true that there are very few
people in the government or in the society who come out and help carry
the legacy of these soldiers forward to help the next generation to
imbibe values of nationalism and love for the country and it is left to
the soldiers' near and dear ones to take on the responsibility.
In an effort to try and carry the legacy which Mohit has left behind
and the hope to create some space in the hearts and minds of our
children there is a request I would like to make to you.
