Now as #Agniveer is fait accompli. What future holds? 1. In these Agniveers pvt militias like RSS will infiltrate their cadres & once released use them in their pvt security companies to have military trained pvt army.. Cost of such army will be borne by Corporates like Adani
2. Similarly other groups may also infiltrate their cadres & do same as RSS. 3. Some may be absorbed in Govt 4. Some top performers will join pvt mil companies operating globally and take part in global conflicts 5. Some may form their own mafia and will become L & O problem
6. These #Agniveers will surely form a union and will become a strong political lobby in itself.. 7. Within Army Agniveers will be a seperate class and will never become part of Regimentation. It will certainly split army at grassroot op levels into two. Regulars and Tourists.

#Agniveers My father used to tell me story of a Bania and Jat.. In brief story was like this 1. Jat used to keep big mustache and show it with pride to his neighbour Bania.. 2. Bania never liked this Jat behaviour.. 3. He considered Jat pride as arrogance and humiliating 4..
4. . Once draught made Jat to borrow money and grains from Bania... 5. Jat couldn't repay it as draught was bit longer 6. Bania offered him job.. Why don't you serve me to repay your loan.. 7.Jat had no choice and took job offer from Bania.. 8. Now Jat was servent of Bania..
9. Now Bania kept Mustache and asked Jat to remove it.... #Agniveer is same scheme of Bania to steam out your pride and make you their servents... This scheme is meant to make financially weak so that you become servents of rich..

The #Agneepath scheme was rammed down the throats of the military, former CDS Rawat was leery of it, former army chief & govt's own minister V K Singh said he was not consulted. @SushantSin calls out the govt's claims & reveals the dangers
deccanherald.com/special-featur… @deccanherald
"Despite the Army being short of more than 100,000 soldiers, only 46,000 men are being contracted this year. This will not even make up for the soldiers retiring this year, further increasing the shortfall. But it will end up saving some money for a paisa-pinching govt"
#Agneepath will affect "technical training & experience required for the men who serve in the Indian Air Force and the Indian Navy or the sub-unit and unit cohesion in the Army", which will be "challenged in utilising these short-term contractual soldiers"

When I completed my studies, (MCh at the age of 32 years) & returned back to my hometown to practice, I had a paltry sum of 2000/- in my pocket, a digital camera, an old desktop & my basic instruments for my practice.
I decided to join Private Practice and first procedure gave
Me a fees of 700/- (suturing of wound on palm).
My elder brother @VikasSaraswat graciously told me to use the four wheeler at home, so that I could commute to workplace and meet other doctors who generally need help of Plastic Surgeons.
I had left an offer of Associate Professor
At Medical College, Surat. (I had a joining letter in my hand). That job had all the perks of a Govt job, but I always wanted to come back.
Here I see that guys are breaking Govt property for a job which is going to give them a graduation degree after 4 years of working,

#Agniveers Mrs Gandi made clever and cunning use of victory in 71 war and her popularity then to abolish privy purses. It was purely an unconstitutional political restructuring of India. She also wanted to scrap martial history of India by disbanding Kaumi Regts..
She and a caste based lobby supported actions alienated Sikhs in Punjab.. We know what happened therafter.. She lost her life.. What Indra could not do.. Modi is trying same to help this caste based lobby to further consolidate their grip on political power of India..
Modi sir Whatever you do you can not take away military pride and glorious military history of certain people and societies... Read history.. Whenever such moves made these ppl wrote history..

#Agniveers is not to cut costs. This scheme has been launched with pure political objectives to disband caste based Koumi Regiments. Will severely impact such castes by cutting their political stakes in Govt, reducing jobs & their earning. It will reduce cash flows in rural eco
Youths of such castes and social groups having aggressive behaviours if not gainfully employed will surely create threat to national security.. These regiments are their pride and history. It gives them a sense of security. They carry pride in arming themselves..
If you disarm them like this.. They will surely find otherways to arm themselves.. And such desires and frustrations could also be used by foriegn powers.. Why create breeding grounds for such armed rebellions? Don't play dirty politics..Don't forget why and how Punjab burned?

Protest and violence
Thread.....
#1
सरकार की आंतरिक सुरक्षा के मुद्दे पर कमजोरी की शुरुआत होती है #CAA विरोध प्रदर्शन के दौरान ..... जब मजहबी उन्मादी भीड़ को दिल्ली जलाने की खुली छूट दी गई!!
अभी भी नागरिकता संशोधन विधेयक पूरी तरह लागू नहीं किया गया है
फिर संसद द्वारा कृषि कानून पारित किए जाते है जो यकीनन भारत में कृषि सुधारो के लिए आवश्यक थे...एक राज्य ( पंजाब ) के आगे केंद्र सरकार घुटने टेक देती है प्रदर्शनकारियो के द्वारा कई बार अराजकता की सीमा लांगने के बावजूद कोई ठोस करवाई न करना लचर कानून व्यवस्था का दूसरा संकेत था
हाल की घटना जिसमे नूपुर शर्मा द्वारा मुहम्मद पर कुछ तथ्य quote किए गए उसके पश्चात् भी समुदाय विशेष द्वारा सड़को पर हिंसा का तांडव हुआ खैर उनके संदर्भ में पत्थर प्रेम जग जाहिर है आधुनिक भारत में मस्जिद प्रदर्शन और उपद्रव है अखाड़ा है! ठोस कानूनी कार्रवाई उत्तर प्रदेश तक ही सीमित

A thread on #AgnipathRecruitmentScheme

1. Here is my 'deliberated' opinion. What #Demonitization was to d economy, this would b to d armed forces & India's military preparedness. Here r my reasons:
One: World has moved towards leaner & meaner armed forces. Even within infantry
2. the concept has been of a soldier as a system, a highly trained, tech-savvy, multi-tasking operator. In conventional warfighting, technology is increasingly eliminating d idea of close combat. I am not even talking about PLA's informatised & intelligentised war, which hardly
3. needs humans in direct combat. So compromising on quality for quantity militates against all principles of modern, tech-intensive warfare. It seems tht MoD envisages creating a human line of actual control behind the one tht evaporated in thin air after May 2020. Whatever be

- Discussion and analysis on this important change int he manpower policy of the armed forces.
I'll hold my tongue on this TOD for now but I'll say this -
- Move towards creation of All India, All Class Infantry Regiments is a welcome development.
- While the Regiment system will remain, the composition of troops will be change to reflect all India character of the Army + Image
+
- This change is important because (a) you want to draw amongst the best talent available (b) It helps to mitigate against fissiparous tendencies.
- You don't want repeat of 1984 when some Battalions of Sikh Regiment and recruits at its training center mutinied and had to +
