Temporary jobs, permanent graves: hidden cost of India’s Agniveer policy

Agniveer

Web Desk: The recent death of Agniveer Lalit Kumar is not an accident, but the result of a harsh and cruel Agniveer scheme, according to security analysts.

“This scheme treats India’s youth as cheap and temporary soldiers, who are sent to war and forgotten later. This is not reform, but a betrayal of the youth,” said one defence analyst on the recent death of an Indian soldier on a landmine.

According to independent research, the Indian Army has abandoned its principles completely to please the Modi government and cover up the disturbing recruitment crisis.

“Now, less trained and less protected youth are being sent to dangerous areas, such as minefields, and then nothing is heard of them. The Agniveer scheme is not aimed at protecting the country, but at reducing costs and spreading patriotism.”

According to research, no young person today wants to join an army where the job is temporary and there is no honor or future behind the uniform.

The government takes advantage of the compulsion of the youth by giving them false hopes, inducting them into the army in a hurry, and then abandoning them on the battlefield. Their families get only sorrow and ashes.

Lalit Kumar’s death is not a sacrifice, but the result of a policy that loves spectacle more than people.

This scheme is not serving the country, but a system of using and throwing away the youth, which is destroying the true spirit of the army and creating a generation that can only be forgotten by fighting.

“The youth of India is being used as cannon fodder by the large military, which doesn’t put a value on a lower caste human,” said one expert.
