Conventionally, the word Vatan implies the land or place of birth, while Mile is a measure of distance.
From another perspective:
Zero Mile is symbolic of step-less distance and its dimensions. For example, Pilgrimage is a step-less journey within.
Vatan is a minuscule subtle point ( सूक्ष्म बिंदू ) in our throbbing heart consciousness with its immeasurable intrinsic energy ( ऊर्जा / प्राण शक्ति ) that brings us into this world, sustains us through the journey of life, and eventually transports us beyond on the other side of life in ways unfathomable. At the end of this life journey, our body that we egotistically claim as ours, self destructs to become top soil again.

The above titled book “ Vatan - Zero Mile “ is dedicated to the self enriching spirit of defending freedom and honor at all cost. It is also dedicated to the Martyrs of the 1965 Indo-Pak War and the age old continuing human conflict that can claim no victors, ever; because both sides lose so immeasurably.
The Motto of Indian Artillery / Missile battery is “ Sarvatra Izzat-O-Iqbal “ ( Everywhere with Honor and Glory ) …
Martyrdom is an ever present spirit in defence of uncompromised freedom. It leaves its footprints on the sands of time and in the throbbing hearts of humanity and equally through every plant, tree and vegetation that grows up and blossoms to its fullest potential of natural grace, beauty and fragrance. Blossom is the natural expression of Life’s desire to fulfill itself .
Vatan is a Hindustani word as spelled below :
