Recently watched "1971" starring Manoj Bajpai. Great movie if you like Indo-Pak themes. Read Review: 1971
At the end of the movie there's a listing of 50 some Indian Army officers/Jawans who were captured in '71, last seen/heard around '88, but till date not returned by the ingrates. Pictures of these security personnel, copies of the smuggled letters to family etc was extremely moving. I'm really glad that Hindi film industry took time and effort to create this movie and list the POWs <!--emo&:rock--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rock.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rock.gif' /><!--endemo--> and to support them, I'll buy a personal copy of the DVD.
Would be great if an online shrine/homage to these brave sons of India is erected by those with access to military matters. Ramana, <nudge> <nudge>.
