Videos go viral for various reasons on the internet. Some are funny, some are sad, some are inspirational but all elicit an emotional response. Proving just that, a series of videos that were uploaded by soldiers of various Indian security forces regarding the problems faced by them have recently gone viral.

However, the Indian Army Chief General Bipin Rawat has warned the Indian security forces that serious action will be taken against soldiers who using the social media to air their grievances instead of using official channels of redressal.

But just hours after his warning, a new video has gone viral in which a Sikh soldier can be seen singing about the problems and tough life that they live.

The soldier sings in the video,“It has been 10 months now, I am not getting days off; all the tears have fallen from her eyes. One who is married to us, she feels neither married nor unmarried.” The soldier can be seen singing while standing with his mates and it seems as if they are around a make-shift canteen.

As per The Hindu, the soldier sadly sings that they eat roti with pickle while others are having tasty meals in hotels.

He further sings that the soldiers are on guard all the time, even during the festivities while politicians sleep peacefully in their homes at night.

Watch The Video Here:

Here are the full lyrics, as translated by National Herald India which posted the song on YouTube

“Politicians are not concerned about the jawans of military

They wish good night and sleep

Soldiers celebrate their Diwali on the borders

While people in Delhi and Mumbai are engrossed in sleep,

We move towards trenches

We are not concerned with salad and fried foods,

We are satisfied with whatever is cooked in our community kitchen,

You have dinner at Taj and we have pickle on roti

When we broad-chest soldiers stand on guard, no one can think of crossing the border

An AK 47 is like a paternal blessing on our shoulder

It has been ten months that

I have not got an off

All the tears have flown from her eyes

The one who is married to us,

she feels neither married nor unmarried.”

However, it appears that the video comes from a private performance among army colleagues and it has not been specifically made to complain. The date and location of the video have also not been verified.
