When the Army Chief warns that war is looming and that our sons and daughters may be called upon to fight, it should make every citizen stop and think.
Many on social media say, “I won’t fight for them.”
But this isn’t about politicians, parties, or provocation.
This is about our country.
This is about our land, our people, our future.
I am a Sikh, from a warrior community with a long history of standing against tyranny.
We are taught to serve and protect our land, to defend the innocent, and to stand firm when others step back.
If my country is threatened, I will stand.
If it comes to it, my children and I will defend our nation, because a country that refuses to defend itself ceases to exist.
You can oppose governments.
You can criticise leaders.
But when the nation itself is under threat, walking away is not protest, it’s surrender.
Defending your country does not make you a warmonger.
It makes you responsible.
Without our land, we will be slaves.
I am not a traitor.
I will not turn my back when my country needs defending.
Are you?
We may not be able to change the whole world
But we can change the world for at least one person.
And sometimes, that is enough. 🙏🏻❤️
While our politicians turn a blind eye to the suffering of our own people, British homeless men and women are sleeping rough on freezing streets this winter.
We aren’t rich, we aren’t powerful but we have heart.
And with that heart, we are doing everything we can, serving hot meals, handing out blankets, and reminding them that they are not forgotten.
