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.

Explained: What is Army Aviation Corps, the youngest Corps of the Indian Army

A look at the Army Aviation Corps’ history and its relevance in modern day battlefields, including in Counter Insurgency and Counter Terrorism (CI-CT) operations. Representative Image The Army Aviation Corps (AAC), the youngest Corps of the Indian Army, celebrated its 35th Corps Day on November 1. We take a look at the arm that adds an air dimension to the Army’s capabilities, its history, and its relevance in modern day battlefields, including Counter Insurgency and Counter Terrorism (CI-CT) operations. The roots of Army Aviation Corps The origin of the AAC can be traced back to the raising of the Army Aviation wing of the Royal Air Force in India in 1942, and the subsequent formation of the first Indian Air Observation Post in August 1947. The Air Observation Post units primarily acted as artillery spotters – which are the elements that help the artillery in directing the fire and also giving air support to ground forces. In the wars of 1965 and 1971, the Air Observation Post helicop...

That time when India took half of Pakistan to make it pay for a motorcycle

In 1947, British officer Yahya Khan offered his colleague 1,000 rupees for his spiffy red motorcycle. His colleague, Sam Manekshaw, agreed. But before Khan could pay, he was off to what was going to become Pakistan. The British split its Indian colony, and things on the subcontinent have been pretty tense ever since. To top it all off, Yahya Khan didn't pay for the motorbike. But he would, even if it took almost 25 years. The Partition of India was much more than the splitting of the British Raj into two independent states. It was a catastrophic split that tore apart the country and created millions of refugees, cost millions of lives, and split the armed forces of the country in two, all based on religion. Violence erupted almost immediately between the two groups on such a large scale that much of it has never been forgotten or forgiven. Animosity continued between both sides for decades, and the two have fought war after war because of the myriad issues left unaddressed. By 1970...
