If I am correct, they didn't prefix his name. They replaced the station's name with his. Second, soldier's names were hardly ever used in context of railway stations. The proper way to honor a solider is written, with the highest being Paramveer Chakra. Third, going by your logic, shouldn't every station in India then have a name prefixed with a soldier's name then since India fought in atleast 4 conventional wars?
The people who renamed the station do not care about the solider. They are just riding a sympathy wave for him...
more... that is crossing that part and want to capitalize on it.
I'll ask you a simple question. Do you remember who Abdul Hamid was? I don't think anyone would even recognize his name here despite him winning Paramvir Chakra in the 1965 war. The same would happen in this case. One decade or two down the line, every one will forget who this soldier was. All that will remain is a station that will remain to confuse people because it's name should be Udhampur but the actual name is "Martyr Captain Tushar Mahajan".
You ask what is the proper way to honor a solider? The proper way is not by changing names; but to create a condition that it never comes to pass that a soldier of ours dies. I'll go a step furthur and ask aren't most folks in India common foot soldiers who spend their day fearing for their lives? I am sure you would be aware that hundreds of people per year lose their lives in Mumbai locals. If the powers to be that rename stations so gallantly really cared about lives, they would have fixed it and saved HUNDREDS of lives per year amounting to thousands till now. In my book, that is way more big a deed than renaming stations to milk political ends.
please wait...Translate to EnglishYo, if I'm right, they didn't even bother puttin' his name at the start. They just straight up replaced the station name with his. And honestly, soldier's names ain't really used when talkin' about train stations. If you wanna honor a soldier, you gotta do it right, like writin' it down or somethin', and the highest honor is called Paramveer Chakra.
And look, if we follow your logic, then every single station in India should have a soldier's name at the front since India fought in like at least 4 major wars, right? So what's the deal with this one station gettin' all the attention?
Those people who changed the name don't really care about the soldier. They're just ridin' this sympathy wave, tryna make the most of it.
Let me ask you somethin' simple. Do you even remember who Abdul Hamid was? I bet no one here even knows his name, even though he won the Paramvir Chakra in the 1965 war. And it's gonna be the same with this soldier in the future. In a decade or two, no one's gonna remember who he was. All that's gonna be left is a station with a confusing name. It's supposed to be Udhampur, but it's called "Martyr Captain Tushar Mahajan."
You're askin' how to properly honor a soldier? Well, it ain't by changin' names, I'll tell you that. The proper way is to make sure no soldier of ours dies. Heck, I'll take it a step further and say that most people in India are like foot soldiers, livin' in fear every day. Did you know that hundreds of people die in Mumbai trains every year? If those big shots who rename stations actually gave a damn about lives, they would've fixed that problem and saved thousands of lives by now. In my book, that's a hell of a lot more important than playin' politics with station names.
