Agnipath : The Path Ahead

I had the opportunity to moderate a CASA webinar on Agnipath : The Path Ahead
It was a fascinating discussion. It covered ground hitherto glossed over. The panel was very knowledgeable. To have a  panel comprising of a C-in-C, an AOP and a DGMO going into various issues professionally from different perspectives was enriching. If you are really interested in the Agnipath Scheme and how to take it forward spend time going through the video. It will be worth your while.

    The way seniors are speaking they are not concerned about longterm.As regards performance,even a village lad joining terrorist organisatiin are able to handle sofiscticated technologies but,are pro during such persons in Nation.
    Compairing with young officers these Generals forget their selection process.
    Why Suddenly this process and ignoring set processes.If it is for poor
    economy and not able to pension,so I say a good employeer will get good and dedicated employee and it is a long chain not a a KNEE JERK REACTION OF SOME STUPID MIND WITH AUTHORITY AND ALL ARE FALLING IN LINE.

    Two options
    1. Have no army if country cannot afford it.
    2. Impose national security cess like education chess in vogue. Both are for the benefits of one and all.
    3. Keeping army in view of threats and paying its cost always go together.

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 ...

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...

THE CORONA COMBAT - SECOND REVIEW BY LT GEN P R SHANKAR (R)

By
This is a follow up of the first review @  https://palepurshankar.blogspot.com/2020/03/the-corona-combat-review-of-situation.html General We are now into Day 10 of our lockdown. Midway point of Phase 1 of the battle with the Chinese Virus. Approaching Phase 2 shortly. Critical times ahead. Time for a review of the situation. The PM has spoken to us today. He has just told all of something very important. India is with Indians and Indians are with India. Though we are isolated we remain collected in this fight. Have faith. Economic packages have been rolled out for the poor and for taking care of the common man as well as the industry. At this point of time, I guess that is what the government can do, and it has done that. If the need arises more will be done. I am confident of that. At least for the needy. Overall, we are winning it where superpowers, wannabe superpowers, have been superpowers are losing / lost it. The collective response of India has been simply fantas...
