Hours after the Indian Airforce destroyed terror camps operated by Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) in Balakot, the Indian Army’s Twitter account shared a poem on being powerful by veteran poet Ramdhari Singh Dinkar. The poem titled ‘Shakti Aur Kshama’ captures the current mood of the defence forces after the Pulwama attack that killed 40 CRPF soldiers in Jammu and Kashmir a few weeks back.

The lines of the poem, tweeted by the official Additional Director General, Public Information handle, translate to, “Docility and meekness in front of the enemy may result in him seeing you as a coward, just how the Kauravas treated the Pandavas. Peace overtures are only an option when you are in a position of power and are capable of achieving victory.”

‘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।’
