Asgiriya Chapter of the Maha Sangha [Photo courrtesy: army.lk]
Military should be neutral when it comes to politics as well as religion and Ethnicity. What is the Army Commander doing inside a temple with 'King of Monks' while in uniform? |
    
Mind Without FearWhere the mind is without fear and the head
is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up
into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of
truth; Where tireless striving stretches its arms
towards perfection; Where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way into the dreary desert
sand of dead habit; Where the mind is led forward by thee into
ever-widening thought and action--- Into that heaven of
freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
Rabindranath Tagore - Gitanjali
