In one of the worst terror attacks ever, India lost over 40 bravehearts on February 14 2019, when a JeM suicide bomber rammed his car, laden with over 350kgs of explosives into a bus carrying CRPF jawans, in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir.

The whole nation mourned the loss and wept for the martyred jawans, but also proved to be a ray of hope for the families in this dark time. From raising funds, donating their salaries to cancelling their wedding reception to donate money; people are doing everything possible to show that they stand strong with the jawans' families.

Another such moving gesture came from this Meerut groom, who paid his respect to a Pulwama martyr in an emotional and heartbreaking way. The groom, while heading to his wedding, stopped his baraat midway and got down from his horse, to salute the funeral procession of martyr Ajay Kumar. 

The picture was shared by Harsh Goenka, Chairman of the RPG Group, who posted the picture on social media which has since gone viral. He wrote, "Meerut's bridegroom dismounts his horse and the baraat stops to salute the funeral procession of Martyr Ajay Kumar. We too salute our martyrs. We will not let their sacrifice go waste."

People can't stop praising the groom's gesture and the spirit of the nation, which proves that nothing can break us. 

Though we don't know them
Still we owe them
Sound sleep
Impregnable India...
Solemnization in wait
Saluting Martyrs Fate
