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.
