#DelhiHighCourt says that the #Agnipath is a well thought out policy decision and the laudable objective of maintaining national security is at its heart.

The court says that the scheme is not arbitrary, capricious or devoid of reason and therefore cannot be interfered with. Image
In a detailed judgement, the bench of CJ Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad uphold the constitutional validity of the Agnipath scheme and dismiss the petitions challenging it.
#DelhiHighCourt #Agnipath #Agniveer
The court says that four years training period would instil a sense of nationalism in the personnel and this would, more or less, prompt them to use their skills and focus on the development of the country.

Rahul Gandhi during his address in the Lok Sabha claimed that the Agniveer Scheme did not come from the Indian Army but from the RSS and Home Ministry.

How I would have amplified BJY

Firstly I would convert Kerala INC’s Jaihind TV to national news channel and live telecast BJY on it and share feed with others

Satellite feed means no issues like buffering etc.

Then I would ask godi bosses to live telecast BJY both legs for at
least 15 min each, mention its progress in news bulletins in exchange for continued access to reporters

They’ll obviously say no

Then I would rope in top 1000 secular YouTubers from all regions of India

I would ask them to live stream BJY live feed on their channels, upload
all BJY videos, promote them and share feedback.

I would assess their financial situation and offer support for amplifying BJY.

Then meet digital news site owners with the same offer that was offered to YouTubers.

Then I’ll meet social media influencers who are

"Experts have formed the Agnipath scheme and we are not the experts," the Delhi HC remarks while hearing arguments in a batch of petitions challenging the Agnipath scheme for entry into the defence forces.
#DelhiHighCourt #Agnipath #Agniveer
In response to petitioner's arguments highlighting various entry schemes around the world, a bench of CJ Satish Chandra Sharma and J Subramonium Prasad remarked that the court is not here to say which scheme is better or comment on military strategy.
The petitioners argued that the scheme is detrimental to national security and the Agniveers joining the defence forces will lack the bonding that is necessary in an unit.

#Breaking Centre government tells Delhi High Court that its Agnipath scheme has been introduced to keep the Indian armed forces young and fit at all times.
#DelhiHighCourt #agnipathscheme #Agniveer
The affidavit says that an analysis of the existing structure of the below 'officer' rank divisions shows that average age of an Indian Armed Forces personnel was 32 years while globally it is only 26 years.
#DelhiHighCourt #agnipathscheme #Agniveer
The affidavit said that the reason for this is the forces' retention policy under which a jawan, sailor or airman served between 15 to 20.

அக்னிபத் வன்முறைப் போராட்டத்தைப் பற்றிய கருத்து.

கட்டார் முஸ்லிம்கள் தங்கள் முல்லாக்களின் அறிவுறுத்தலின்படி இராணுவத்தில் சேர மாட்டார்கள். அவர்கள் ஜிஹாத் பயிற்சி மட்டுமே பெறுகிறார்கள். மசூதிகளில் வாள், துப்பாக்கி போன்ற ஆயுதங்கள் பதுக்கி வைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன.
இந்துக்கள் எப்பொழுதும் சுலபமான இரை என்பதை அவர்கள் வெகு காலத்திற்கு முன்பே உணர்ந்திருக்கிறார்கள். அவர்கள் வெற்றிகரமாக சீக்கியர்களை போர்ப் பாதையில் கொண்டு வந்துள்ளனர்.

தலித்துகள் மற்ற இந்துக்களுக்கு எதிராக குறிப்பாக பிராமணர்களுக்கு எதிராக உள்நாட்டுப் போர் தொடங்கும் போது//
//நாட்டிற்குள் ராணுவம் நிலைநிறுத்தப்பட்டால் சாதகமாக இருக்க பாகிஸ்தானும் சீனாவும் தயாராக உள்ளன.
வேறு வார்த்தைகளில் கூறுவதானால், வெளிநாட்டு பயங்கரவாதிகள் உட்பட ஜிஹாதிகள் காஸ்வா ஹிந்துக்களுக்கான ஜிஹாத் தொடங்குவதற்கான சூழ்நிலையை கிட்டத்தட்ட தொடங்கிவிட்டனர்.

#अग्निवीर के फायदों पर एक थ्रेड
1.जातिवाद खत्म होगा: क्योंकि अब युवा गाड़ियों के पीछे ग्रेट गुर्जर,मर्द मराठा, रईस राजपूत औऱ बहादुर ब्राह्मण जैसे जातिसूचक नारो की जगह केवल "मैं भी अग्निवीर" लिखेंगे 🤣 #घोरकलजुग
@ranvijaylive @PMishra_Journo
@TenguriyaDeepak #AgnipathScheme 1/n
2.जनसंख्या नियंत्रण: सरकार को अब जनसंख्या नियंत्रण कानून लाने की कोई आवश्यकता नही है क्योंकि सामान्यतः23 की उम्र में विवाह करने वाला ग्रामीण युवा 28 तक ट्रेनिंग और रोजगार तलाश में ही बिजी रहेगा,बाद में विवाहित होकर वो फेमिली प्लानिंग ही करेगा #घोरकलजुग #घोरकलजुग 2/n
3. दहेज प्रथा कम होगी: परमानेंट नौकरी और पेंशन न होने की स्थिति मे गाँव मे दहेज की डिमांड कम या बिलकुल खत्म हो सकती है उल्टा 25 -26 की उम्र तक रुकने पर वधु पक्ष को पैसा देना पड़ सकता है 🤣🤣 #घोरकलजुग #Agneepath 3/n

1/ This is interesting. #Agniveer A particular year we were close to war with Pakistan. My General Officer Commanding, who would frequently call me for operational discussions asked me if I could make all nine Infantry Battalion Mortars (81mm) Platoons fire together.
2/ Being from Artillery and an Instructor I said yes. Infantry Battalions have one mortar platoon with few mortars, each manned by three soldiers, and all mortars under platoon commander, who has two soldiers to help. To guide the fire, there are another four jawans.
3/ Say about 30-35 in total out of which at least 25-26 are jawans or Sipahis (whom Agniveers will replace). It takes 10-12 years of training to become detachment commander of one such mortar. There are 8 such mortars in each battalion. They require years of training together

First two videos gave out the MACRO PICTURE in PART-1, THE SCHEME in PART-2

Here in Part 3 I will talk about that IMAGINARY MAN who is being painted as a SUPER MAN. The AGNIVEER.

He is a youth on street with (probably) better education, higher IQ and better health.
BEFORE
Who is Agniveer?
A SEPAHI in Army(Called Sepahi in Infantry, Gunner in Artillery, Sapper in Engineers and Signalman in Signals) etc., an AIRCRAFTSMAN (AC).....
3/ #AGNIPATH #AGNIVEER
... in Airforce and a SAILOR in Navy, the entry level rank stands abolished and will be called AGNIVEER in all the three services.
Will it make a difference?

#Agniveer #AgnipathScheme #Agnipath What are the facts to this scheme ? Why is the opposition rattled ?
Or it is the opposition ratted or its a #toolkit from abroad under which the #Dynasts are working ?
#bipinrawat according to sources was the mastermind and the #Dream project .
Was his so called death a conspiracy to distort this Project ??
India becomes a #SuperPower with a Younger Army is unacceptable to many Countries...!!
Opposition is rattled for this Youngsters who join this dream project will come out to be An Indian and they will talk of two things #Country n #Constitution.
The #religious divide will not work for them and they will be the Backbone of our Youth Brigade.

Halfway in this interview with a Chinese oligarch @mehdirhasan questions the incessant Chinese defence spending comparing it with the defence spend of India , the former being multiple times the latter. #Agniveer
“ They wish they had the money to spend”,retorts the Chinese with some chuckles from audience in the hall . His searing response kinda embarrasses me and I begin to think when exactly did this shift in attitude where a Chinese could mock us or show us down on valid facts happen?
I realised , in my mind , I am still living in early 2010’s when there would be frequent editorials and debates in newspapers whether it will be the Indian tiger or Chinese dragon that will ultimately win the race of economy in next 10-20-30 years.

SECOND LONG THREAD ON #AGNIPATH and #AGNIVEER
1/
PART – 2 : AGNIPATH : THE SCHEME
Today I will focus only on Government documents available in public domain.
I will cover:
•The scheme
•Questions on the scheme
•The FAQs
•Brilliance in the scheme
•Holes in the scheme
2/ #AGNIPATH #AGNIVEER
My observations
•Thought was political, execution was by inexperienced.
•Juvenile document I am talking about Version 1.0, Age increase from 21 to 23 became Version 1.1, CAPF induction became Version 1.2. How many more versions.
3/ #AGNIPATH #AGNIVEER
•It displays the fact that there was no thought given, no discussion, no wargaming and each & every ‘client’ was kept out
•Language is not experienced military, it’s a give away
•My guess that veterans in ruling party were involved is doubtful too

Now as #Agniveer is fait accompli. What future holds? 1. In these Agniveers pvt militias like RSS will infiltrate their cadres & once released use them in their pvt security companies to have military trained pvt army.. Cost of such army will be borne by Corporates like Adani
2. Similarly other groups may also infiltrate their cadres & do same as RSS. 3. Some may be absorbed in Govt 4. Some top performers will join pvt mil companies operating globally and take part in global conflicts 5. Some may form their own mafia and will become L & O problem
6. These #Agniveers will surely form a union and will become a strong political lobby in itself.. 7. Within Army Agniveers will be a seperate class and will never become part of Regimentation. It will certainly split army at grassroot op levels into two. Regulars and Tourists.

@oprajbhar We mush not object everything blindly just coz we don’t like someone or some political party, when the matter is about the security of nation we need to think beyond the boundary of hate,the #Agniveer scheme brought by the government is good and upto some extent bad as well, we..
@oprajbhar ..need to study it carefully, it’s really reform and transform the army, but the matter is only about those 75% which will not get selected,what happened to those people that’s the matter government and stockholders shout sit and resolve it....
@oprajbhar Government says it gonna give 10% reservation in assam rifle, we just need such kind of 4-5 reservation in every security field, if we done it properly there isn’t doubt it gonna be transformative for india, we must think about country instead of our own political benefits.

#Agniveers My father used to tell me story of a Bania and Jat.. In brief story was like this 1. Jat used to keep big mustache and show it with pride to his neighbour Bania.. 2. Bania never liked this Jat behaviour.. 3. He considered Jat pride as arrogance and humiliating 4..
4. . Once draught made Jat to borrow money and grains from Bania... 5. Jat couldn't repay it as draught was bit longer 6. Bania offered him job.. Why don't you serve me to repay your loan.. 7.Jat had no choice and took job offer from Bania.. 8. Now Jat was servent of Bania..
9. Now Bania kept Mustache and asked Jat to remove it.... #Agniveer is same scheme of Bania to steam out your pride and make you their servents... This scheme is meant to make financially weak so that you become servents of rich..

#Agniveer Def Ser Regulation gives absolute auth to Services Chiefs & Army Cdrs to bring any organisational changes incl ser conditions of soldiers with financial backing from Govt. This is a system followed in Monarchy like England. It must stop. India is a parliamentary demo
Art 309 of our Constitution wants Parl to frame laws for service conditions of public servents.. Such laws have been made for many civil services? But why not for Military? Problem of military is adhocism..
And when puppet Generals are being used by politicians for their own political purposes... You have situation like #Agniveer where certain caste based political lobbies want to abolish Kaumi Regiments playing cunning games.

Some facts on #Agnipath. A regular (permanent) lowest order soldier recruit in #IndianArmedForces earn a total of appoximately Rs 14 lakh in 4 years. #Agniveer will earn Rs 15.6 lakh plus Rs 11.5 lakh parting money, total Rs 27.1 lakh 1/4
#Agnipath is short service scheme for soldiers. For officers similar 5-year scheme exists since 1960's. Roughly 25% of #Indianarmedforces officers are on short service. This ceiling may be raised too. 2/4
Why #Bihar is most critical of #Agnipath? Bihar dies for govt service. This is linked to dowry (price) in marriage market. To capitalise social psyche, there is a parallel universe of 'coaching centres' who are blamed for running employment rackets 3/4

#AGNIPATH #AGNIVEER
-Dont ask me if it is good or bad
-Dont ask me to give a pro-Army fight
-Dont ask me to support political class

I dont see Agniveer as something to be commented.

My thoughts are purely my own and I will cover
-Armed Forces and Agniveer
2. -Recruitment up to Mar 2020
-Recruitment and Discharge from Mar 2020 till almost recently
-Agniveer in 2022.

Armed Forces and Agniveer

Veterans are screaming the most. I will start with destroying the ‘cacophony of arguments’ by Veterans that ‘Indian Army will be destroyed
3. #AGNIPATH #AGNIVEER by Agnipath”. Havent you already done that internally? Did you tell India?

Everyone screaming about ‘fabric’ of Indian Army being torn etc. Veterans need to look up and be honest to themselves. This regimentation is sheer nonsense.

The problem with old school politicians (even the younger ones) is #Modi thinks far ahead of them - while they are still stuck in a 60s and 70s construct. That’s why despite opposition #Modi keeps winning. #Agnipath is the latest example. #AgnipathRecruitmentScheme 2/n
2/n Concept of lifetime employment is out of date. A youngster who doesn’t have a job will not turn down an opportunity in a good organisation where he can learn on the job just bcoz it isn’t for life. Key is value-addition thru skills and competency development #Agnipath 3/n
3/n That is why youngsters line up in companies like Tata etc to join as interns or trainees. They know that all of them may not get absorbed but at the end of the term their “market value” would have exponentially increased. #Agnipath 4/n

#अग्निपथ 🔥 पर एक थ्रेड

सरकारें जब कोई पालिसी बनाती है तब उसके होने वाले प्रभाव और दुष्प्रभाव का व्यापक अध्ययन करती है उस पालिसी के सारे स्टेक होल्डर से बात करती है संसद में संवाद करती है उसे जरा भी संशय होता है तो केवल पायलट प्रोजेक्ट लांच करती है #AgnipathScheme 1/n
पर इस सरकार की सबसे बड़ी समस्या ही संवाद हीनता है यह वन वे कम्युनिकेशन पर चलने वाली सरकार है जिसका मुखिया खुद सीधे सवालों से बचता रहता है #नोटबन्दी,#GST, #CAA या किसान कानून ऐसे निर्णय थे जिसकी किसी ने भी मांग नही की थी यह भारत की जनता पर थोपे गए कानून थे #Agniveer 2/n
इसलिए इनका इतना विरोध हुआ था सरकार ने सनक में यह सब पालिसी डिसीजन लिए थे सरकार को हर घटना को सनसनीखेज औऱ सम्भावना से भरा बताने की इतनी सनक है कि वो पूरे देश को अपने राजनीतिक प्रयोगों की प्रयोगशाला बना देती है नोटबन्दी असफल रही, GST में आज भी संशोधन हो रहे है #घोरकलजुग 3/n

Dunzo-fication and Swiggy-fication of the Indian military, given pious sounding names like #AgnipathRecruitmentScheme and #Agniveer cos BJP thinks giving anything a Sanskrit name is the extent of its governing duties.
WhatsApp uncles repeating IT cell talking point of "you can still join army the conventional way, this is just an option" are being shamelessly dishonest.

There has been no recruitment of Jawans in the Indian army since 2020. What conventional way?
After a 2.5 year hiring freeze for a job that requires training young men for physical fitness, aggression & willingness to kill, the Indian govt announced a recruitment scheme in which 75% Jawans, even if flawless, will be fired.

And are shocked SHOCKED at violent protests.

My two cents on #Agniveer Scheme. #Thread

Forces is not just any other job, your lives are at stake, you need guarantee that the Govt will take care of your family and you for the rest of your lives. (1/n)
With this new scheme just being 4 years, you instill uncertainty into the soldiers, that what will I do after 4 years and for my family?

Why should I give away my life fighting the enemy when my future is not secured by the State? (2/n)
And soldiers are the backbone of the army, the officer recruitments stay the same as of now (barring SSC), the hate and anger of soldiers towards their officers will increase, seeing they are getting all benefits, and us not, intra ranks problems will only increase.

(3/n)
