Amid the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan, a heartwarming video of a Russian woman expressing her gratitude to the Indian Army and calling India her home has captured the hearts of the internet. Shared on Instagram by Polina Agrawal, a Russian national residing in Gurgaon, the clip has gone viral.
Polina praises Indian soldiers for their bravery and unwavering dedication to protecting the nation, enabling citizens to “sleep peacefully” at night.
‘I am home here in India’
In the emotional message, Polina says, “My Russian grandma read the news and told me to come home,” she begins in the clip. “I answered, what home? I am home right now here in Gurgaon, India.”
She continues: “The Indian military has got such advanced weapons and air defence systems — which Russia itself has provided. It stays so strong against all the drones or jets or planes or anything that tries to fly in.”
Polina lauded not only the technology and preparedness of India’s military, but more importantly, the selfless spirit of the soldiers.
“Indian soldiers have such immense dedication and such big hearts so we can sleep peacefully at night,” she says. “They risk their lives so we live whatever lives we were living before. And we do not even notice there is anything going on.”
Her moving tribute concludes with: “I am so deeply grateful to them. I am so deeply grateful to them for their dedication. And I am so deeply grateful to them that I can call India my peaceful home.”
