amazing, nobody has heard of this man and his supreme sacrifice and bravery. he single handedly enabled us to catch the prize exhibit, the terrorist qasab, dying in the process. qasab has been singing like a canary under interrogation, much to india's benefit.
i guess that's because he's named tukaram. if he had been named abdul or thomas, we'd never hear the end of how brave he was. for instance, everybody went to town mourning some christist army captain from bangalore who was killed in j&k.

Mumbai: Assistant Sub Inspector with the DB Marg Police Station in south Mumbai Tukaram Ombleâs exceptionally bravery ensured that at least one terrorist of the Mumbai terror attack was caught alive.
Tukaram Omble fought Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab and his associate with just his lathi (stick) and fell to the terrorist's bullet but also ensured that most crucial link to prove Pakistan's involvement in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack was in the custody of Indian security agencies.
Omble fell down after being shot at by a burst of fire from Kasab's AK47 while he fought to capture a terrorist with just a lathi in his hand on the night of November 26.
It was his courage that helped his team capture Kasab alive during the terror attack.
"The entire family is proud of him. His village, the police department and India are proud of his bravery," says Tukaram Omble's brother Eknath Omble.
(Sonia and christoislamis are unhappy that Qasab was caught. They wanted to pin the islamoterrorism on Hindus and use it take the Christo Inquisition to even more extreme lengths, but the heroism of Omble thwarted their intentions.
Dharmics, however, are grateful for Tukaram's bravery.)
But the sacrifice of this simple and caring man has left a void in the lives of his friends and family.
"When he returned from work, he brought my favourite cake for me. He gave it to me with his own hands," reveals his daughter Vaishali Omble.
<b>But even in their grief, the family's main concern is that the attacks should not happen again.</b>
"These types of terror strikes have happened too many times. Our policemen are being killed in these attacks and after every incident the government says it will modernise the police department. But after a few months the government forgets its promise," laments Eknath.
It is now for the nation to ensure that Omble's sacrifice does not go in vain.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
