After the terrible tragedy, there have been many organisations who have come forward to publicly recognise the contribution of Nawang and to acknowledge the role of our fine fighting soldiers.

Any such occasion has been one of pride and sorrow for us. The pride has been to see so many people honour our soldiers and stand up for the principles which has made India a strong and democratic country. The sorrow has been of the memories of Nawang and that he could not be with us to join the occasion.
