Sandeep Unnikrishnan- A True Hero

India is celebrating it's 67th independence day on August 15th 2013, India has tremendously grown in many aspects, one of the fastest growing economies in the world. India is a leader in many fields name it science, medicine, technology and so on. There is contribution of many great individuals to make India what it is today and all these people have been such great inspirations to every Indian and fellow human beings !!

There are many people who have had sacrificed their life's to keep all of us warm and safe, one such great soul is Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan. A true hero who fought so bravely against terrorists and sacrificed his life in the 2008 Mumbai Terrorist attack .A true unsung hero, who needs a great salute and respect from all of us today.


Sandeep was the team commander of 51 SAG deployed at the Taj Mahal Hotel on 26th Nov, 2008. Terrorists had captured the building and there were many hostages inside the hotel. Sandeep lead the operation and rescued many who were held as hostages . Major Unnikrishnan led his team from the front and engaged the terrorists in a fierce gunfight. Without caring for his life he chased the terrorists and fought against them. In this intense fight he succumbed to serious injuries causing his death. The hero showed true dedication, leadership and patriotism for his country. He saved many lives by sacrificing his own.

When I see his picture, his innocent smile, calm demeanor always brings a strange acute sense of inspiration and respect towards him. Sandeep was only 31 years old when he died. As per his friends he was always a true achiever, he always topped in everything he did with great focus. He inspires millions of youth today to aspire and be something in life, to thrive and give back something to society. Major Unnikrishnan i
s a true inspiration and a hero who will always be remembered forever.

Sandeep a big salute for your sacrifice and dedication. India Salutes you !!
