As a Modi supporter I would agree that elections are over, now is the time to discuss policy issues. This will help not only the nation but also BJP.

Previously, all military recruits received a lifetime pension. The Agniveer law changes this by requiring a 4-year service period, after which recruits are evaluated and either continue in active service or move to staff positions with a salary. INDI wants to scrap this new law and revert to a system where the military functions more like a typical government job without merit and permanent benefits. INDI is gone crazy!!

जैसे मुल्ला की दौड़ मस्जिद तक वैसे स्वार्थी की दौड़ स्थायी नियुक्ति पत्र तक वाली बात हो गई है। इसलिए सरकारी सेवा में शुरुआत में स्थायी नियुक्ति बंद होनी चाहिए । सुधार तो करना ही होगा जबकि पुरानी भर्ती प्रक्रिया के दुष्परिणाम स्पष्ट हैं। आमतौर पर कुछ बातें जनता को नहीं समझती, भावुक होते हैं तो दुष्प्रचार से प्रभावित होते हैं। आपने सुना होगा हर जगह लोग leadership की बात ही करते हैं लेकिन सेना में leadership और followership दोनों qualities चाहिए तभी तो सैन्य _बल_ कहलाता है नहीं तो सब एक दूसरे को कैंसिल आउट करके निर्बल होते। सेना में strict chain of लीडर-फॉलोवर-लीडर-फॉलोवर संरचना से बलपूर्वक एक लक्ष्य को हासिल करते हैं। ये जाति-विशेष का नहीं प्रशिक्षण विधि का परिणाम होता है। अंग्रेजों ने तो अधीन कॉलोनीज की सामाजिक संरचना का अध्ययन किया था उसका दुरुपयोग करने के लिए, तो इसलिए जातिवादी रेजिमेंट बनाया। आपको सिख रेजिमेंट और सिख लाइट इन्फेंट्री में अन्तर का इतिहास जानकर भी शर्म आएगी कि पहले वाले रेजिमेंट में जटसिख भर्ती होते थे और दूसरे में मजहबी और रामदासिया सिख। जटसिख अपने को हाई caste मानते थे और दुसरे वालों के साथ नहीं होना चाहते थे। यही अंतर मराठा लाइट इन्फेंट्री और महार रेजिमेंट का था। यदि pre-modern/feudalist narrow loyalties के नाम निशान ही जारी रखना है तो फिर कोई modernisation ही क्यों करना? याद रखें कि ये narrow loyalties पालने का परिणाम था कि 500 से अधिक जटसिख सैनिक फौजी हथियार सहित आतंकवादी भिंडरावाले से जा मिले, इसके बाद ही हुआ था आपरेशन ब्लू स्टार जो कि अपरिहार्य था।

This agniveer scheme was pushed by a certain saboteur/grifter who is the nephew of subramaniam swamy and pretends to be a defense analyst. he was pushing "modernization of defense forces". BJP needs to shun these americanized social media opportunists or they will destroy everything that hindus have fought for not only since rise of BJP but over centuries. They are just nehruvian impostors within "RW". This particular grifter was against defense indigenization due to his closeness to outfits based out of the US. That alone should have raised red flags. They always propose american solutions that just won't work in India. This americanized group was also proposing for BJP to shy away from caste equations by attacking jati as antimodern and proposing american style presidential campaigns. Listening to them will result in a rout for BJP next time. Only genuine reliable Hindu centered channels like Vaad need to be supported by BJP.

Then you did not try very hard: 1. The military equipment is becoming more tech oriented than personnel focused. Less soldiers, more quality. 2. Each time a new equipment is developed/acquired it comes with a skill tree that keeps only the young people ready. Ex, if you never used Google maps to explore unfamiliar places, Uber/Ola is harder for you. Same thing with controllers modelled after Xbox controllers, vr headsets and 3rd person perspective. 3. Since the Vietnam war, only two styles have won out. A super technical army that can level a country in minutes and a meat grinder that sacrifices people for attrition. Which one is better? 4. What happens if our army is filled with 35-50 yos who are unable to adapt to highly technical equipment?

It's not possible to scrap it. OROP drains a lot of Indian Defence budget. It cannot be continued forever. Additionally, Police reforms haven't been done in over a hundred years. Agniveer is meant to serve both these purposes. Manpower needs to be cut down, diverted to other paramilitary forces, retrained, and kept engaged till the age of 50+. That is why Agniveer was introduced.

*My proposal for modification in Agnipath Scheme* *Age Limit for application*:- 17 Years 3 Months to 20 Years 9 Months After being selected as an Agniveer:- *Stage 1* 9 Month training Initial Age bracket (In years):- 17.25 to 20.75 Final Age bracket (In years):- 18 to 21.5 *Stage 2* 39 Months deployment as per the requirements of the Indian army 🪖 Initial Age bracket (In years):- 18 to 21.5 Final Age bracket (In years):- 21.25 to 24.75 *Stage 3* Provision for extension of 2 years Initial Age bracket (In years):- 21.25 to 24.75 Final Age bracket (In years):- 23.25 to 26.75 Those who don't opt for the extension will get a guaranteed position in the central forces of Bharat. *Stage 4* 2 Year extension for maximum 85 % of the Agniveers who have completed their stage 3. Initial Age bracket (In years):- 23.25 to 26.75 Final Age bracket (In years):- 25.25 to 28.75 Those who are not selected for the extension will get a guaranteed position in the central forces of Bharat. *Stage 5* Permanent enrolment into the Armed Forces, of maximum 85% of the Agniveers who have completed their stage 4. Initial Age bracket (In years):- 25.25 to 28.75 Those who are not selected for the extension will get a guaranteed position in the central forces of Bharat. *Benefits*:- 1) Indian army will get young personnel of age bracket (18 to 28.75 years) reducing the average age of Indian army from it's current figure of 32- 33 years to below 30 years. 2) After each stage, some portion of the Agniveers will go back, most of them would go to the Central forces and the remaining ones would assimilate in the society where it is made sure that they are well off due to the Seva Nidhi package given under the Agniveer Corpus fund, created by the Government of Bharat. These Agniveers who will be assimilating in the society will still be young enough to build their career from scratch, equipped with mental strength and discipline required to succeed in today's fast- paced world. 3) The central forces will benefit from the experienced, battle- hardened Agniveers which would not require rigorous training unlike the other fresh recruits in the central forces. This will also save the finances of the central forces which could then be used instead in the modernization of the weapons and strengthening of the systems in place. 4) Agniveers who are even left out after a certain stage will constitute a skilled backup force in case of a war like situation or in case of Internal strifes/ Natural calamities/ Pandemics & Epidemics, etc.

My maternal uncle is serving in Army.. he is diagnosed with heart disease and he is posted in Leh... Would he defend the country against foreign aggression? I think.. No. But Is he taking care of his family with regular income? Absolutely... Yes. Now the government and citizens have do decide... What is the motto of Defence forces?

Hello Arihant ji, thank you for the informative podcast with figures and more insights. Please make a video on how Amritpal got elected, as it been assumed that Khalistan propaganda is not supported by the population residing in Punjab but here we are observing some under current something being cooked without any smoke. People of Punjab are not directly supporting Khalistani propaganda but election results are telling completely controversial. Please if possible try to raise this issue in your next podcast with any host who can share.

I felt as if data is presented that way it would look like an anti Agniveer podcast. At least at two instances the argument is contrary. You should also invite an intellectual who is in favour of Agniveer. This would have the right prospects.

Gen G.D. Bakshi also disagrees with the Agniveer policy. They should rather make 1 year military service mandatory after 18 years and then give voting rights to citizens, after a civilian serves the mandatory 1 yr in armed forces or other border forces etc.

Good podcast, Col Singh gave every kind of arguments against Agniveer, some convincing and some not so. Now try to bring a guest, former armed forces personnel, who argues FOR agniveer. You can counter him with Col Singh's points. Also could not find the studies he was quoting on ORF and IDSA website, if anyone find those papers, kindly share the link in the comments reply. Thanks

I am not at aware of military so here is my Question - I see Army personal Buying kitchen Items in local market - I see Army personal Driving their officers - I see Army personal Helping in emergency situation This Agniveer people are just Workers they not needed to be involve in Risk Situation I have heard so many service man just doing gardening of bungalow so i think they are better as after some year he will be out this way upper level officer cant keep permanent Gardener and yes This Upper level personal are pushing back Agniveer as their Status is at risk .. think about it if Agniveer which is retired can say anything about their superior officer .. normal Service man can not complain .. Remember that one Army man Complain over his food .. What is is status of him.. one cared ..

Though I am also in favour of scheme reform however Mujhe pata nahi aisa kyun lag raha hai k guest ye Batana chah rahe hain k military man normally kuchh karna nahi chahte bas paise and job security se hi military join rate hain. Positive side ye bhi ho sakta hai k 25% me aane k liye vo 4 year apna best dega and jab vo select ho jayega to ek Bahut hi deciplined shoulder ban k nikle.

We need to reduce our army size but agniveer is not the solution. Plus those who come out of service should be transitioned into police force. This will raise fitness of our police force too and the army men will also have a good civilian life.

जैसे मुल्ला की दौड़ मस्जिद तक वैसे स्वार्थी की दौड़ स्थायी नियुक्ति पत्र तक वाली बात हो गई है। इसलिए सरकारी सेवा में शुरुआत में स्थायी नियुक्ति बंद होनी चाहिए । सुधार तो करना ही होगा जबकि पुरानी भर्ती प्रक्रिया के दुष्परिणाम स्पष्ट हैं। आमतौर पर कुछ बातें जनता को नहीं समझती, भावुक होते हैं तो दुष्प्रचार से प्रभावित होते हैं। आपने सुना होगा हर जगह लोग leadership की बात ही करते हैं लेकिन सेना में leadership और followership दोनों qualities चाहिए तभी तो सैन्य बल कहलाता है नहीं तो सब एक दूसरे को कैंसिल आउट करके निर्बल होते। सेना में strict chain of लीडर-फॉलोवर-लीडर-फॉलोवर संरचना से बलपूर्वक एक लक्ष्य को हासिल करते हैं। ये जाति-विशेष का नहीं प्रशिक्षण विधि का परिणाम होता है। अंग्रेजों ने तो अधीन कॉलोनीज की सामाजिक संरचना का अध्ययन किया था उसका दुरुपयोग करने के लिए, तो इसलिए जातिवादी रेजिमेंट बनाया। आपको सिख रेजिमेंट और सिख लाइट इन्फेंट्री में अन्तर का इतिहास जानकर भी शर्म आएगी कि पहले वाले रेजिमेंट में जटसिख भर्ती होते थे और दूसरे में मजहबी और रामदासिया सिख। जटसिख अपने को हाई caste मानते थे और दुसरे वालों के साथ नहीं होना चाहते थे। यही अंतर मराठा लाइट इन्फेंट्री और महार रेजिमेंट का था। यदि pre-modern/feudalist narrow loyalties के नाम निशान ही जारी रखना है तो फिर कोई modernisation ही क्यों करना? याद रखें कि ये narrow loyalties पालने का परिणाम था कि 500 से अधिक जटसिख सैनिक फौजी हथियार सहित आतंकवादी भिंडरावाले से जा मिले, इसके बाद ही हुआ था आपरेशन ब्लू स्टार जो कि अपरिहार्य था।

Col. sahab ne counter nahi kiyaa Vikas Minhas ki baat kaa kisi solid point par. Kyon ki final entry ke baad sab barabar hain. Risk aversion yaa non aversion ab dono kaa barabar hoga, regular entry yaa fir via agniveer ke route se entry lene vaale kaa. But agniveer ke baad 1 clean break hai bande ke paas nikalne kaa. So except the point that he does not agree Col. did not really address the issue. The topic though, is fantastic. Appreciate Vaad to raise it. This is probably the single most important topic for our military today. It has direct implication on iur nations security. There are a lot of false canaries that the civilian babus of MoD have thrown around to get agniveer through and the stupid politicians have fallen for it.
