भारतीय सेनेत आपला मुलगा गमावलेली वीरमाता आज आणखी जवान घडवतेय

After her son was killed in Kashmir, Anuradha Gore made it her life’s mission to have other youngsters join the Army

It had been a quiet day at their home in Mumbai when Anuradha Gore had a difficult promise to make. Her son, Vinayak, a Captain in the 31st Medium Artillery Regiment, had learnt that he had been posted near the border, and that too, at the height of the insurgency in Kashmir. “Promise me you will not cry if something untoward happens,” Vinayak asked of her, “Remember you are a captain’s mother.”

Gore gave her son that assurance in the hope she would never have to honour it. On 26 September 1995, however, he was killed in Kupwara. He was just 26 years old. True to her word, Gore never cried in public after his death. But she also made herself another promise: that she would keep his memory alive.

In the 18 years since Vinayak died, the retired school principal has done her best to fulfil her oath. She has given talks to students and others on the Army, soldiers and their work. She has written columns in newspapers on the same. She has authored eight books in Marathi, most of them about soldiers, and is presently penning what could be the first book in this language on Siachen and what it takes to guard it. She has inspired a large number of young men and women in Maharashtra to join the Army.


Lokmat has always been dedicated to the empowerment of women.
This International Women's Day, Lokmat is proud to announce a revolutionary new concept, dressed in a simple, innocuous thought - #BaiManoos #HappyWomensDay

The Bai Manoos initiative is an invitation for everyone to move beyond stereotypes and see women for what they really are - people. A woman should be treated according to her merit as a human, and neither allowances nor excuses should be made for her gender. She should not be treated better or worse for the simple fact of her gender. It is time to see the manoos (human) inside the bai (woman).

The Bai Manoos anthem is a powerful extension of this message that Lokmat and lokmat.com are doing on Facebook and Twitter collaborating with some super achievers and illustrious women from all walks of life in Maharashtra.
