Megastar Amitabh Bachchan said that
jawaans are the true keepers of the land, whose sacrifice one merely acknowledges.
"A son e lumiere for the
'jawaans' who fight at our borders, and protect our land and give us the privilege of peaceful slumber at night. They are the true keepers of the land. They sacrifice and we merely acknowledge them," he wrote on his official
blogThe 72-year-old actor will reportedly make a comeback on the small screen as a host with a new non-fiction show which is an adaptation of the international series
Tonight's The Night.The show, which was hosted by actor-singer John Barrowman, is based on making the wishes of the audience members' come true. It features ordinary people.
Taking a dig at the "want and greed" of humans, who try to "empower and own" other's territory, the
Piku actor said that its their never ending desire that forces them to do so.
"The earth that we are born on, the land that identifies us, gives us nationality, rights of life and living. But the pride of identity, of being mine, ours, us is such a strong emotion that it has never been challenged," he wrote.
"Yes on occasion it has been, wars occur for them who reach beyond their territory, their claims their adventurous expansion of their ownership. What really does provoke such act? Want and greed. Making part of yours, that would enhance whatever you had and were not satisfied with. There is no end to want and greater need. Get one, and you desire more, the next the other and that which the other possesses," added Mr Bachchan.
Meanwhile, the
Piku star is gearing up for the release of
Wazir which also features Farhan Akhtar.
