In 1931, the supreme sacrifice that these young men in their twenties chose to make for the cause of our nation, became an inspiration for the subsequent generations – a ideal that still arouses the patriotic fervor.

So any living artist breathing his/her last comes as a shock to us, even when it is well known that death is inevitable for everyone.
