Is Compulsory Military Service Needed For The Indian Youth To Become Successful?


The Indian Youth lacks two very crucial assets of the journey of success ― discipline and motivation. Sights of depression for minor things can be seen at numerous places, and demotivation is taking its toll.

The other day I went to meet a friend in a nearby café, and unintentionally over heard a couple sitting next to us. What the girl, seemingly sitting with her boyfriend, said, hit me like a bullet train and got me thinking about the mental conditions of today’s youth.

She said, to him, “I am depressed because I wasn’t allowed to go to the music concert I really wanted to!”

Okay, that might be a reason to be upset, but depression is a big word to use here. And to my belief and observation, she actually was in a state of extreme unhappiness, probably depression too!


Is Depression Becoming Trivial?

Do not sweat over the small things. If you cry for petty movies, concerts, and such small material things, you will miss out on the big picture of life. Attachment of such kind will only stop you from growing into a stronger individual.

Getting up late is a trend for many, and humorously, I am laughed upon for getting up at 4.30 every single morning. “Mujhse nahi hoga bhai!” is what I get when I urge my peers to get up early too.

But what they do not understand, like the many millions of young ladies and gentlemen getting up for brunch directly, is that it takes discipline to achieve something great in life and give a meaning to your existence in the cosmos.

And, the first step to achieve that immense amount of discipline and hence the success, is getting up early. Believe me, it takes courage to stop yourself from pressing that snooze button and get off the bed when all your body wants is a little more sleep. It takes determination to give more importance to your work than to comfort.


Workout and Army Might Be Needed For The Indian Youth

Workout is a thing for body builders only, now, and seldom do young people do it just to stay healthy. Instead, what’s funny is that they try all kinds of slim milk, green tea, go on a diet and what not! Your packs are not just going to appear out of that fat belly and your butt isn’t just going to get into shape on the couch.

I strongly believe, compulsory service in the Indian Army would inculcate the discipline we need in today’s young generation. Maybe, there are other ways too, but this is one very effective way to imbibe in the youth, the two crucial aspects of success.

Let nothing hold you back. Let material things not affect you so much. Get out of your comfort zone and work like you want to build an empire, not just a small house. That is when you will grow, that is when we will grow and that is when India will grow.

Retirement Age of Troops in Army, Air Force & Navy Set to Increase, Says CDS General Rawat

Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat has said that the retirement age of jawans in the Army, airmen in the Indian Air Force (IAF) and sailors in the Navy will be extended as it could benefit nearly 15 lakh men of all three armed forces.  “We are soon bringing a policy to extend the service profile of the men (forces nomenclature for troops) and have an increased minimum retirement age,” said General Rawat in an exclusive interaction with The Tribune yesterday. On being asked if he was looking to cut down the manpower costs as rising salaries and pensions were taking away a large portion of the budget, General Rawat said, “I am looking at manpower costs. Why should a jawan serve for just 15 or 17 years, why cannot he serve for 30 years? We are losing trained manpower.”  Easing fears that this policy would change the age profile of the fighting force, he said that the frontline combatant could be young. “We have an Army Medical Corps, why can’t the nursing assistant serve ...

Indian Navy's coastal battery project in Bay of Bengal on track

The Indian Navy's ambitious coastal battery project at Sagar Island in the Bay of Bengal has been back on track as a land of 11 acres has been identified in the delta region and the land acquisition process is underway though the project's concept and shape have been changed from a permanent to a temporary one and from static to mobile. This was informed by Naval Officer-in-Charge (West Bengal) Commodore Suprobho K De on Monday. "The coastal battery project was never closed in principle. It is still underway. Progress about the project became a bit slow earlier somehow. The entire concept is now about having a temporary and mobile infrastructure for firing missles. It is now conceived as a mobile coastal battery," he said at INS Netaji Subhas in Hastings on the eve of the Navy Day celebrations. Commodore De elaborated, "We were looking for a land of around 11 acres to set up a naval base from where Brahmos missles can be fired. The land has been identified. The p...
