During the Dantewada massacre in 2010, in which 76 CRPF jawans were killed by Naxals, there were celebrations at JNU, one of the top universities in India. Leftists were rejoicing over the massacre of our soldiers.
So, this time, in 2026, let's celebrate the fact that, for the first time in 47 years, the CRPF has completed a year without suffering a single operational fatality, despite our soldiers having been engaged in several high-risk operations.
Let's rejoice and celebrate for our soldiers.
As a neurosurgeon, let me tell you how frightening this injury actually is - an occipital compound depressed skull fracture treated with a WIDE craniotomy (outer staple line).
What's scary isn't the fracture; it's what's adjacent to the damaged skull. The axe blows (that tree-branch scar at the center) hit right over the posterior superior sagittal sinus, a large vein that runs lengthwise between the 2 cerebral hemispheres and carries blood from the brain to the heart.
Penetrating injuries to the sinus can carry upwards of a 40% morbidity/mortality - partially because a transection of the sinus can be difficult to repair and can result in extreme blood loss, venous air embolism, or thrombosis - all of which can be fatal.
There's scary, and then there's the "you go to elevate the fracture and risk unroofing the sinus, losing 2 liters of blood in a minute" scary.
The surgeons likely had their hands full and did an amazing job. Divine providence called many heroes into service that day. Damn fine work.
