2 “Stop Adani”: Sri Lanka Protesters Say PM Modi, President Rajapaksa Struck Deal

17.06.2022, Friday

Editorial

SUNVILLA SAMACHAR

Agnipath Is Our Prime Minister’s Seminal Contribution To Defence Programme Agnipath and Madhushala! Two poems of Harivansh Rai Bachchan, actor AmitabhBachchan’s father. Agnipath is about ‘hope’, while Madhushala spells ‘drunken despair’. But,with “Tu na thakega kabhi / Tu na rukega kabhi / Tu na mudega kabhi / Kar shapath, Karshapath, Kar shapath / Agnipath agnipath agnipath”, is the Modi Government fiddlingdangerously with the fighting spirit of the Indian Armed Forces?Again, what’s already being hailed as Modi’s seminal contribution to the Indian Army, IndianNavy, and the Indian Air Force, ‘Agnipath’ and ‘Agniveer’, must have sprung from Modi’sfertile imagination, nurtured since his movie-going days. The Amitabh Bachchan starrer,‘Agnipath’, must have been a favourite, with ‘Agniveer’ a start-up he introduced.Prime Minister Narendra Modi has, from the time he announced himself Prime Minister ofIndia, gone on a disengagement from the time before May 26, 2014. To that extent, Modirule is not about post-2014, but about ante-2014. Narendra Modi has been systematicallydisrobing India, and changing the character of India’s institutions from what they were likebefore 2014.What’s disquieting is that it’s still a work in progress. To get into Modi’s head will be adiscovery of a shocking India, one that will hark back and forth, leaving in its wake a hotchpotch India hard to recognize. Whether it will be an idea of India the people would want touphold would be hard to tell, suffice to say that the primary purpose of the discoveries wouldbe to startle.The Indian Army’s history is of valour and victory. Post-Independence, it didn’t need‘Agnipath’, and ‘Agniveer’ to beat our enemies back. Right from the word go, India’s fightingsoldiers gladly embraced martyrdom. The Sikh Regiment, the Punjab Regiment, the Rajputregiment, to name just three, made bravery their motto.And now there’s news that the Indian army will lose its competitive edge that it gets fromregimental pride! The one overriding characteristic of living under a dictatorship is thateverybody of consequence is afraid to stand up to the authoritarians&; harebrained schemes.The Tughlaks always get their way.To reiterate, doesn’t it seem like there is more to the Modi government’s armed forcesrecruitment plan than meets the eye? The Modi government has borrowed from “poetry andpicture”, and then glossed over the rest.’ ‘Agnipath’ and ‘Agniveer’ will go hand in hand withthe mission to create 10 million jobs in one-anda-half-years!One-and-a-half years will take us straight to the 2024 general elections, and the BJP andNarendra Modi will be canvassing for a third straight term, and third consecutive victory! And there is enough unemployment in the country to put the army recruitment plan into actionstraightaway!The plan is along the lines of Yogi Adityanath’s free ration scheme. The economicallyweaker sections got their 35 kilos of paddy and grain and gladly voted BJP in the UPassembly elections. ‘Agnipath’ turns thousands of unemployed into soldiers and mid-2024,tens of thousands of ‘Agniveers’ in Delhi and elsewhere will vote Modi and BJP!Dig deep, think hard and Agnipath is knee jerk. If 6-months can create an ‘Agniveer’, think ofwhat a waste it will be to throw those “Universal Soldiers” back into the maelstrom, wherethey started from — unemployed again, with no pension to look forward to. The one-timecache of Rs 11 lakh will be gone before the ejected ‘Agniveer’ is inside the door of hismother’s home.Also, what’s the guarantee the cast-aside Agniveer will land a civilian job? Study the ModiGovernment’s employment policy, and what we have are hundreds of thousands ofunambitious youth dragging handcarts, selling pakoras and samosas.A variant of ‘Agnipath’ and ‘Agniveer’ cannot be imposed on the Indian Railways. Butdisciplined soldiers will not raise a hue and cry when cast out every four years. The point is,what sort of jobs await them? Apart from crawling through undergrowth and thrusting abayonet, what other things will an ‘Agniveer’ of 4-years’ training know?The government will save on pension, but every four years there will be a stark stocknumber of youth joining the ranks of the burgeoning unemployed, youth trained to use thefirearm. A steady stream of army-trained unemployed is a different kind of the unemployedlet loose on the roads. From Agnipath to Madhushala, from hope to drunken despair, - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara is but ashort four years.

The Enforcement Directorate is investigating the Gandhis’ role in what is known as the National Herald case. It involves the Young Indian’s takeover.

The scheme was announced by Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday. After keeping the recruitment pending in the army for a long time, the centre has now announced a new recruitment scheme ‘Agniveer’ with a short duration of four years in the army. “Even though it has been called an attractive scheme, the youths of the country are dissatisfied and angry. They are openly opposing the change in the army.

Boman Irani was seen with Ranveer Singh in Jayeshbhai Jordaar, which released on May 13. The film did not perform well at the box office, earning only ₹12 crore in its first weekend. It collected ₹3 crore across India on its first day. In a new interview, Boman said he was puzzled by the film’s failure at the box office. He added that the OTT release of Jayeshbhai Jordaar turned out to be good for the film, as the response from the audience was quite positive Boman said the film industry was going through a phase of ‘flux’. He said

Jayeshbhai Jordaar, which did not work theatrically, but was well-received by viewers post its OTT release, was an example of how ‘we are in a state of flux’. Speaking about the film, Boman told PTI, “It should’ve done better numbers, I don’t see why it didn’t. There’s a lot that goes in which we don’t understand. The film is now on OTT and people are saying, ‘Hey this is a nice movie why didn’t it (work)’. Now what can I say… Everything doesn’t have a tangible answer. Was it the marketing, was it the...
