What are the 2 Million army men doing anyway? Where is the real threat to India? India and Pak or both nuclear and be rest assured there will never be a war between nuclear powers. China is now a country of businessmen - they cant even take on Taiwan so they will not trouble India either.
All these shortage, pakstan threat etc., is a ploy to keep our defence budget soaring

Anand. Why does your company need you? Because you are needed for a certain job profile. When there is a shortage of armed forces, you are out here talking otherwise. The threat will not send you an SMS before surfacing. It can happen anytime. If according to you there is less army personnel and then there is an attack on you or your state you will then blame saying that there was not sufficent army personnel guarding the borders.

What is the threat? Politicians have created artificial threats to keep you and me under perpetual fear so that you don't ask them questions! Money should be spent to provide two meals to people!

You earn your own meal. If not two at least one. We need to provide an opportunity for the poor to do that. And joining army is one of the ways. That is what this article is about.

India's biggest threat is its Power hungry politicians who stoop down to any level to be in power and exploit the people! They will ensure that there will be perpetual poverty and ignorance so that their wrong doings go unnoticed! As long as people are parochial, quality of life will never improve. Selfishness is Indian's greatest weakness.

Prior to 1962, even our leader thought that way and look at the humilation the country suffered at the hands of mighty China. Army is insurance to the Nation and to be progressive must have strong arms, no matter there exist or not any threat.Friend krish seems to be a person of modern geneartion who have not a bit of idea that History shows that whenever we had gone weak we had fallen prey to the foregin invaders. So frien wake up straightn up your thoughts, if you cannot do any good to the nation atleast stop creticising.

Its not a crime to oppose Gandhiji. He was not GOD and also not always correct? Why you put lock in your house of close the doors? We may also not need Police. Isn't it? Gandhiji may not be that relevant today. Its good in picture to talk about gandhi giri?

No doubt the non-violent way is always the best, but where that does not come naturally the violent way is both necessary and honourable. Inaction here is rank cowardice and unmanly. It must be shunned at all cost.---MK Gandhi

Mr. Anand, You assumptions are childish,, dont you remember kargil war broke out after our PM Mr,Vajpayee visited Pak in friendly manner. Do you really think all this friendship pacts will hold good always,, nations may differ, nations may change thier stand. A war or national threat may come at any time. Let me ask you one questions, will you leave your home unlocked, since you are friendly with your neighbour.
