PKR needs to bat with persistence of Dravid and strike rate of Afridi.

Couple that with poor state of equipment. While MARCOS and Garud have seen gradual improvement in equipment, ParaSF equipment has been in a state of rot.

They are from the bygone era as Mahatama Gandhiji, Pandit Nehru, SCB, Iron man et al. The ideology is eternal since the 7th century. BJP has decided to go full on sickular.

It may appear that the Indian army is asking for a .338 laupa sniper for which SSS Defence may be front runner.

Despite all the social media complaints about Modi/BJP having "betrayed its core Hindu voters", I'm very, very skeptical that Modi/BJP will face any significant electoral backlash. Le Dindu voters gripes: No repeal of HRCE acts. No tangible action on education front. Repeal of farm laws. ...

Ain't nobody risking their life and career for a 4 year contract job with an abyss staring at the end of the career. Nobody owes anyone their life.

Just saw a snapshot of BJP MP saying that Angeeveer would get security jobs after 4 years of service in the army and he would have earned 12 lakh rupees in that time. My points. 1. Reducing the dignity of serving in the army to a mere political party security guard. 2. The BJP MP is more concerned ...

IMHO 4 years is too short. Upto 2 years would be spent in various kinds of training and on the job exposure. All you would get is 2 years of service in reality.

The duration should be 7 years instead of 4.
