'Even in 2010 I want to serve this country'

I am a hijackbuster from the NSG. I have been a soldier with the Indian Army since I was 16. Now I am on deputation to the NSG's 52 Special Action Group. This is the country's specialist team deployed to tackle hijacks.

I want to see India as a developed nation, ranking with the best in the world.

One thing I want to do -- if I can, is to provide education for all so that citizens can distinguish between good and bad to resist corruption, communalism etc.

Communal riots, hatred fanned by perverted arguments on religion, must also end. Our biggest challenges are population and discrimination in the name of religion.

I would like to end corruption that is eating us from inside. That is the biggest obstacle faced by this great nation.

I want to continue being an army soldier even in 2010 and keep serving this country in the years to come.

I hope the NSG will establish its name among the finest in the world. I am sure it will progress and serve to protect this nation.

As told to Josy Joseph

   
'What I make is respected by the whole nation'
