Hours After Air Strike in Pak, Army Tweets Poem on Being Powerful

The poem was tweeted by Additional Director General, Public Information on its official handle.

Hours after the Indian Air Force hit terror camps inside Pakistan, the Army on Tuesday, 26 February, tweeted a Hindi poem which says that "if you are docile and polite before the enemy, he may consider you as a coward, the way Kauravas treated Pandavas".

The poem by Hindi poet Ramdhari Singh 'Dinkar' was tweeted by Additional Director General, Public Information on its official handle.

'क्षमाशील हो रिपु-समक्ष
तुम हुए विनीत जितना ही,
दुष्ट कौरवों ने तुमको
कायर समझा उतना ही।

सच पूछो, तो शर में ही
बसती है दीप्ति विनय की,
सन्धि-वचन संपूज्य उसी का जिसमें शक्ति विजय की।'#IndianArmy#AlwaysReady pic.twitter.com/bUV1DmeNkL

Peace overtures, the poem says, is possible only when you are in a powerful position and capable to win.
