Sachin Tendulkar, who has achieved unprecedented success in cricket history, recently shared his personal experience at a media event. In 1999, he witnessed the Indian Forces conducted “Operation Safed Sagar” during the Kargil war and noted the crucial role played by the army in the country’s defense. At that time, Tendulkar visited a training camp with the military personnel serving the nation and experienced firsthand the technology of air raids, target identification, and coordination during the war. This experience strengthened his sense of patriotism, service, and national pride.

Tendulkar is also involved in the “India Youth Army” campaign launched in collaboration with the Indian Army. The campaign aims to increase interest in military service among the youth, revive memories of war, and strengthen patriotic feelings. He said that seeing “Operation Safed Sagar” made him feel fortunate to be part of the army and encouraged young people to participate in national defence. These statements, the example set by a prominent figure like Tendulkar for national service, sparked widespread discussion on social media and also helped attract new members to the Indian Army.
