Rachna Bisht Quotes
Maj Thapa Rose To The Rank Of Lieutenant Colonel And Served Till He Retired. He Continued To Attend Almost All The Republic Day Parades From 1964 To 2004. Sick And Undergoing Dialysis For Kidney Failure In Delhi, Lt Col Thapa Would Slip In And Out Of Consciousness In His Last Year. Poornima, Who Was Taking Care Of Him, Pleaded With Him To Not Attend The Parade That Year, But He Refused Gently Yet Firmly. 'When I Wear My Uniform And Go For The Parade, I Represent My Soldiers; Those Men Who Fought A War With Me. I Cannot Let Them Down,' He Told Her. Though He Could Hardly Stand For Long Or Even Stay Alert, He Put On His Uniform, Pinned On His PVC, Tilted His Gorkha Hat At The Perfect Angle And Went For The Parade, Remembers Poornima. Through Sheer Willpower, He Managed To Stand In The Jeep Till He Had Saluted The President. After That, He Sat Down. That Would Be The Last Republic Day Parade He Would Attend. On 5 September 2005, Lt Col Thapa Died Of Kidney Failure. He Was 77 Years Old.
