Political careers of former soldiers may seem like an acceptable feature in a democracy, but it would be naive to discount the dangers of politicisation of the military.
If the armed forces are restructured on modern lines, it will enable them to undertake the complex multiple tasks that is expected of them, with lesser manpower.
Many 'independent' reports, intended to shape policies, are sponsored by industry groups or entities with deep pockets and vested interests. This process must become transparent.
Once seen as a fading presence on India’s investment & startup picture, the state is slowly moving up the ladder, with policy reforms & infrastructure building.
Agreement signed during 17th Joint Working Group (JWG) on defence cooperation. Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh met Director General in Israeli Ministry of Defence Amir Baram Tuesday.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
Nicely put Sir, After the East India company left these politions have adopted their policy of divide and rule.If Pakistan and India resolve there issues this part of World can rule the world..Either nuke out you neighbor obviously it’s insane so than stop posturing and start talking, I know they will not be easy any of the violence group from either side will try to disrupt but believe me this is the only way out in the long run..Peace ✌
ये सब नौटँकी देख कर ऐसा लगता है कि 1971 में अगर मोदी PM होता तो मेजर जनरल जगजीत सिंह अरोड़ा को पीछे धकेल कर मोदी जनरल नियाज़ी के साथ बैठ जाता और Surrender Treaty पर Sign करता।
Yes! Thank you very much, Sir, for reminding of the Vijay Diwas! 16 December 1971 was the day when Pakistan SURRENDERED to India in the Bangladesh war. That was our victory in a full fledged operation that went on for, I think 17 days.
All governments are guilty of ignoring that day of topmost glory for our Forces. If the present Modi government is showing an inclination to lionize our soldiers’ achievements, then that’s a very good thing. But they could have celebrated FOUR Vijay Diwas so far during their tenure if expressing gratitude to soldiers was their real aim. Not having done that, if they are now trying to glorify the army’s one night operation, then it’s natural to suspect that they are doing so only to remind the country of Mr Modi’s brave decision. Accepted. But why try to sweep Indira Gandhi’s far more brave and historical achievement under the carpet by NOT CELEBRATING the Vijay Diwas which happened under her leadership? Thank you General Panag for reminding us of that day.
The best way to send a “ signal “ to Pakistan is for the DGMO to pick up his telephone and speak to his counterpart. If that does not work, send the men in quietly, on a moonless night …
Who is paying you General Sahib to write all this bullshit. Is the Congress Party interests paying you, then you are trapped in their requests and bravery of young men who dared to go inside Pakistan and killed the basratrd terrorists in their lehr.
Bravo to the soldiers and the decision makes who 25 years of terrorism received what they deserved.
Salute to General for hitting the nail on the head of those who using military action to gather votes. Instead of spending money on such self publicity of Modi, the same could be used on those who have either been killed or wounded. BJP is using army mainly because they are in ground not tho in air and water. Surgical is not gaming video which are being distributed to TV channels for prime time studio debates. They are highly confidential in nature as outside should never know how and when it happened. Is the government not puting army at risk to counter attacks
What is not mentioned in the article’s author description is that HS Panag is a member of AAM AADMI PARTY! Why miss that info about the author?

Modi is busy with freebies subsidies reservation schemes. Nothing to celebrate.
