In the film Border, Sunny Deol, playing Brigadier Chandpuri,
walks up to the last pillar on the India-Pakistan border, in spite of
everyone warning him against the move as Pakistani snipers could shoot
him. When I asked if Brigadier Chandpuri had actually done that, he
said that he done that many times. "The enemy should know that I am
there and not afraid of him. What does it mean to dominate? I cannot
dominate the enemy by just sitting inside a bunker near him."

"We have the third biggest army in the world, bravest of brave
soldiers and still our neighbours have the guts to trouble us,"
because, says Brigadier Chandpuri, "We do not retaliate."

He narrated an incident to emphasise his point. When he was a colonel,
he was posted in Kashmir and only the Line of Control separated him
from the enemy. The enemy once fired at his post and killed two of his
men. Colonel Chandpuri retaliated and his men killed 14 personnel on
the other side. After that day, Colonel Chandpuri continued to be
deployed there for two years, but nobody dared to fire at him
