‘Naib Subedar’ isn’t his name.

Naib Subedar is a military rank, a junior commanding officer, just a title given out by the Indian army.

It isn’t his name. He doesn’t go by his name.

He doesn’t see himself as human, human enough to have a name.

He’s a soldier, he’s one piece of a million others, a pawn for the cause.

A good soldier has no thoughts, no ambitions, no desires. A good soldier bears no burdens, has no choices, holds no conviction. A good soldier marches on, head down, without individuality or distinction.

A good soldier needs no name.

'Naib Subedar’ isn’t his name.
