In our Punjabi folklore they say, “dushman maray te khushian na manawoo, kadday sajna v mar jaana”
Means: “Don’t celebrate the deaths of your enemies as some day friends would also die”.
Replying to this beautiful thought on humanity, Pathania wrote, “Thank you again Adil. I understand Punjabi and speak it as well. 🙂
We are enemies on the battlefield. Off that, let’s be civil to each other if we cannot be friends.”
Off-course sir, it’s the decent thing to do as a soldier.
Again, sorry for your loss sir.In our Punjabi folklore they say, “dushman maray te khushian na manawoo, kadday sajna v mar jaana”
