COMPULSORY MILITARY TRAINING

Some of the recent events have given rise to the thinking that military training should be imparted as a compulsory training to every able-bodied citizen of India. The full-fledged aggressions of china and Pakistan have compelled the Indian leaders to give a second thought to this problem. Our leaders have realised that in order to meet this twin challenges, there must be a strong work force that could prove to be morale-booster. So, the slogan “Militarise the nation “has been given to the country,

Getting training in military science is important and useful in ways more than one. That it makes the people disciplined, is beyond doubt. It also inculcates the noble qualities of service, sacrifice, devotion and dedication. Military training keeps the people physically fit and intellectually sharp.
It also increases our power to work. As a matter of fact, by imparting military training compulsorily to the youth of India. We shall not only be raising an army of millions to fiight the enemies of India, but also we would be able to fight innumerable diseases and other wars at economic, social and health fronts. By raising our military strength, we would be boosting the morale of the nation.

Moreover, military training can be put to many civilian uses. It teaches one to obey and to command. Military training aims at preparing men to sacrifice themselves for the motherland whenever she is threatened by some hostile power. It teaches one to place service above self. For a soldier, duty is more important than food and rest. A soldier goes in the quest of opportunities to serve his people and country.

By getting military training, we shall inculcate those qualities towards which, we have a very casual attitude. We are lacking in many other virtues like team spirit, loyalty, sense of duty, value of time, dignity of labour, selflessness, and nobility of character and a spirit of good fellowship. All qualities of head and heart can only be acquired through military training.

Military training helps at the time of an emergency or a foreign attack. The trained commandoes can be assigned some duties as they can handle fire arms, revolvers and rifles and therefore, can safeguard the interests of the nation.

There is no doubt that the mass military training would take time to complete and it would cost a fortune but the nation would get great benefit from these new disciplined people. It would make people realise that the interest of the nation is first and their personal gains are secondary. This would also increase output in our fields and factories. There would be no corruption and favouritism in our country. Efficiency and hard work would be the guiding tenets of our nation.

In order to understand the very significance of military training, the following instances are sufficient. It was this spirit that enabled Sir Winston Churchill, the worthy soldier statesman of England, to come out victorious during world war! Napolean’s daring feats could also be attributed to the military discipline. It was also this spirit, which moved Maharana Pratap and Shivaji to fight against the nefarious acts of their enemies. Indeed, military training is useful in many ways.

Therefore, if we really want to make India a great country that is free from all the evils of corruption, nepotism and selfish interests, it is high time that we imparted military training to our youth ad made them the true soldiers and saviours of the motherland. This would also serve as the second line of defence during the wars.

31st December 2006, is a day to be remembered and cherished for me. End of 2006 signfies the end of some thing else for me too.

And the end of something there is always a start of something else. I won't go around much and a straightly come to the point..

I have talked with my parents for my higher education in foreign and they have agreed to that.

Till now I have not yet decided the place to study and university, but sure of course, manufacturing engineering and management.

It will be the most significant change in my personal and professional life as well. I am hoping to move everything smoothly..

I am praying for this and I hope if this went on smoothly then I will achieve many milestones in my life very easily and very early

Role of soldier in the defence of India

Every Indian contributes something as far as the defence of India is concerned. But the role, which a soldier plays in defending and protecting the borders of India, is really unparalleled. A soldier is the most disciplined lot of the nation. Upon him depends, to a great extent, the security and stability of the nation.

A soldier’s life, no doubt, is very difficult and hard. It is he who obeys the order of his commanders and does what so ordered by them. a soldier keeps nightlong vigils on the borders even in the face of great and grave dangers. He stands heroically before his enemies. For a soldier, in the words of Longfellow:

There’s not to make reply,

There’s not to reason why,

There’s but to do and die.

A soldier faces death bravely. He fights up to last moment of his life in order to protect his motherland. He scarifies everything for the sake of the nation. It is he who has to live miles away from his family. It is he who goes into the jaws of the death while defending his country.

His life is not bed of roses; rather, it is a bed of thrones. With his meagre income, he feeds himself and his family. The life of soldier is really very hard but he is not scared by it. For him, defence of the country is the foremost in his duties and responsibilities.

During the war, he fights bravely but at the same time, he helps the civilian population as well. The role, which Indian soldiers played during indo-pak war, is exemplary. Our soldiers helped and assisted the civilian population of Pakistan. They offered them food and drinks and did not harm them. So, Indian soldiers acted in accordance with the noble Indian traditions.

A soldier is ready to face death. He never shirks responsibility. He fights in the most difficult terrains or, the hills Ad Mountains, plains ad forests. The defence of the country is the only mission of his life.

A writer, a politician, a statesman, a businessman and a teacher play their own roles through their actions, abilities and aptitudes. But the role, which a soldier plays while safeguarding the frontiers of the motherland, is paramount and unique. He lives for the nation and dies for her dignity. He makes history and history immortalises him.
