    Gen Saab, The US is a hegemon. As all hegemons, Uncle Sam is transformed into a rent seeker. The dollar is the vehicle for rent seeking and its the rest of the world that foots the bill for all its capricious military adventures. That includes India, China and Russia. Usurping and appropriating the commons was the strategy laid down by Rear Admrl Alfred Mahaan Thayer. That was amplified in the seminal work of Marine Gen Smedley Butler - First goes the dollar the boots follow and then the flag ! " Isn't the trajectory familiar aka East India Company ?
    Those who seek to befriend US need to look at the work of Paul Wolfowitz and Zebgniew Brezinski. Three adverseries were visualised in that document, Project for the new American Century. India is seen as the third adversary! Can we ever forget Dec 1971? At that point of time there was the Soviet Union to help, and now we are alone saddled with a bunch of traitors calling themselves NASSCom, each one sharing the same DNA as Jagat Seth. We are alone in our quest for peace, isn't that the reality, Sir ?

Don’t Burn the Last Bastion by Lt Gen P R Shankar (R)

By
‘Sir, will China invade us?’  ‘We hear China has increased activities on the border’. Chinese consolidation activities on the LAC have prompted such reactions and fears. Lot of such inquiries from citizens within and outside India. Why?  Bodies floating down Ganga, mass graves, lack of oxygen, medicines or hospital beds, botched vaccination program, uninterrupted work on Central Vista - all these have eroded our political capital immensely and seeded such doubts. Our national institutions are being compared to ‘rottweilers’ in the media. Economy? Unemployment figures and stock markets – both rattling up. Strangest combination. Rich getting richer and poor getting poorer. An ominous divergence which bodes ill. Leadership? Kis Chidiya ka naam hai bhai? National level paralysis in responding to the second wave. Erosion in comprehensive national power.  Many have never experienced India being so weak. Nor did I for that matter. This frightening experience ...

AGNIPATH : AN INSIDERS VIEW FROM OUTSIDE

By
As per reports the government is set to finalise the ‘Agnipath’ nee ‘Tour of Duty’ recruitment scheme, under which youth can enlist in the Army for three /five years and be known as ‘Agnivirs’. It is being envisaged that 25% of them would serve for three years and 25% for five years, the remaining 50% would serve for the full term till they reach the retirement age. This major reform is expected to significantly reduce the age profile of the Armed forces. This reform will also result  in significant reduction of pensions. It will curb the ballooning salary and pension bills that are adversely impacting military modernization. Under this arrangement, after completing 3 or 5 years of service, the Army will help the soldier/officer to be recruited in other services. The soldiers would be given a pay-out along with priority in recruitment to certain government jobs, including the central armed police forces. An effort is also on to nudge corporate India into hiring such ...

POLITICAL CRUMBLING OF THE LAST BASTION by LT GEN P R SHANKAR (RETD)

By
                                       The politicization of the last bastion of India is well and truly underway. The beeline of Armed Forces officers in joining a political party is just the latest milestone in this journey. More will follow. That will be to the detriment of national security, in the short run. Very definitely. In the long run. It is debatable since the nation is into uncharted oceans. At the outset I must state, that this is an apolitical analysis of a symptom for which I do not have answers. There is a view that unless Service Officers join the political platform, there will be no redressal of the imbalances our Services and nation face. That is agreed to. However, for that to happen, induction of retired service personnel into politics must be across the political spectrum and not confined to one party alone. If it is only one party which is attracti...
