The fertile soil of India, has given birth to many intellectual minds and great scholars, but hardly anyone knows or depicts the pain of the paramilitary forces. The citizens of India are oblivious to their pain and struggle. Thus, the only source to know them is the media. News channels and newspapers represents them a equivalent as the army personnel but no one throws light to their hellish life. Consequently, most of the citizens including the politicians, ministers and far famed personalities acknowledge them as Army.
These reasons also pushes the lives of the lower rank personnel of these forces into utter darkness.
Nowadays, on every occasion and on every dispute- a debate is organized or staged by every news channels. Inspite of numerous casualties and uncountable attacks on our first line defense, none of these channels have taken any initiative to picturize their struggle and pain. Sadly enough, these channels have never given an opportunity to the lower rank personnel to represent or speak up about their reality.
After all these, National Geographic Channel have tried to picturize the life of the BSF personnel up to a certain extent very recently through a short documentary film- “BSF- India’s first line of defense”, which is appreciable.
