We sleep peacefully in our beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on our behalf. Yes! Though it is their duty and they have chosen the job, but many a times they work an extra mile  beyond their job responsibility just for the sake of humanity.

Below is the story of Col. Divakaran Padma Kumar Pillay, a Lionheart!

Col. Divakaran Pillay was given the task of protecting the tribal village in Tamenglong district of Manipur. These tribal regions were considered the areas under red alert.

As soon as Pillay got to know that the militants were hiding in the locked room, the only way he could think of to catch them was to bang open the door. But as soon as he did this he was welcomed by four bullets. The bullets hit his shoulder, chest and two more on his body. Thereafter the militants also threw a grenade which blowed off a part of the soldier's leg.

He was quick to notice two terrified kids in a corner. When the chopper arrived for evacuation, he asked them to rescue the kids and take them to the hospital first.  With 1 grenade and 4 bullets he managed to live for 2 hours before being taken to the hospital.

Later he was given the title of Pillay Pamei. Pamei is regarded as one of the most honourable titles of the tribe.Earning that title is a symbol of great respect.

We salute such soldiers!
