Martyred Indian Army officer Major Akshay Girish Kumar’s daughter did him proud. She narrated out loud what her ‘papa’ had taught her about the Army along with the sweetest ‘Jai Hind' we’ve heard all year.

Little Naina stole our hearts with her rendition of what the Army is. “ The Army is to help us, to fight with bad uncles and Army is to help us not get afraid, Army is to do Jai Hind to everyone...” she said in her sweet voice. The video was uploaded on Twitter by her grand mother Meghna Girish.

Major Akshay Girish Kumar lost his life on November 2016 in an ambush in Nagrota along with Major Gosavi Kunal Mannadir and five jawans. His daughter was only three years old at the time.
