A young Indian Army Short Service Commissioned Officer, after hanging his uniform, was taking some post graduate courses at JNU, Delhi.*
In 10 years of service in the Indian Army, he had done 3 tenures of duty, in Jammu & Kashmir.
*One of the courses had a JNU Professor, who was an avowed vocal atheist, a Naxal sympathiser & a council member of a Leftist political party.*
One day the Professor shocked the class when he came in, looked to the ceiling & flatly stated, *_"God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 10 minutes."_*
The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Eight minutes went by & the Professor proclaimed, *_"Here I am God, I'm still waiting."_* It got down to the last couple of minutes, when the soldier got out of his chair, went up to the Professor & cold-cocked him; knocking him clean off the platform. The Professor was down & out, cold.
*The young officer went back to his seat & sat there, silently.* The other students were stunned & sat there looking on in silence.
The Professor eventually recovered from the shock; noticeably shaken, looked at the officer & asked, *_"What in the world is the matter with you? Why did you do that?"_*
The young officer stood up & calmly replied, *_"God was too busy today, protecting our soldiers, who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff & act like an idiot. So, He sent me."_*
The classroom erupted in cheers!
*That's the soldierly spirit...*
Cheers.
