1. Dismantling of the pseudo-liberal intellectuals, ultra leftist ideology, often arrogant, hypocritical and corrupt.
2. Challenging the asymmetrical secularism.
3. Revival of pride in India's (forgotten/hidden?) heritage and culture.
May I pass on the 'PM's Vision' that is creating so much consternation in the corridors of service headquarters, as amongst the veterans, on matters pertaining to military.
Obviously, it was told to me confidentially, recently by a source very close to me, currently in the highest echelons of the GoI. You need not believe me but this is not a canard and I'm not a presstitute. I don't wish to name the source but kindly, don't shoot the messenger!
(a) The PM and his GoM, have strong views that the Indian youth needs to be taught 'discipline' and 'desh bhakt', love for the country above all else.
(b) He wants to generate more employment opportunities for the underprivileged youth.
(c) Bring about an egalitarian culture for parity and tolerance nationwide, without any prejudice against women, religion or politics.
(d) Create an economically strong India, with peace and amity, internally and externally.
With the above in mind, I am told that the GoM (GoI) has already set in motion all subordinate participants of the GoI, to set to work with synergy, no matter what individual perceptions are.
For the first three visions, the GoM have turned their focus mainly on to the military, para military and the department of defence production.
4. Induction of women combatants in military, (NDA, RIMC/RMSs, SSs) I am told was only the first step (albeit with a little nudge and help of the Chief Justice of India to neuter the 'naysayers').
5. Next, 'what is a coming', I was told it is coming with most urgency, "short service employment" for 3 - 6 years for youth as PBOR, in military and para military, with a proviso that such
employment will be in 'hot zones' and not in 'khushi khushi' peace areas. The 'take away' that the PM hopes for, is not just inculcation of self-discipline and value system of the military by the youth but also vocational training with some technical content, which would help them find employment in the civic 'milieu' in India or abroad.
It will also ameliorate the 'fighting strength' shortfalls that the armed forces have been lamenting for long. Now the regimental recruitment is from specific 'catchment areas'. This is likely to become 'pan India', with augmentation of regimental combat strength (overcome 40% wastage rate due to leave, sickness, refresher training/army courses etc).
6. The PM feels that none else other than the military can achieve this.
* Compulsory 'drafting', like in many western countries may follow if there is "halla bol" by the vitriolic junta
* Point no.4 and how he is going to do it, I don't know, none of my business, I didn't ask the wise man of GoI.
* In any case, it is perhaps not in the ambit of discussion, or charter, of this forum. But the 'take away' for youth discharged after short military service is likely to be a 'quota' type reservation, for absorption in civic milieu at appropriate levels. As an example, I was told that in a HRM survey conducted by the Ministry of Labour and Employment, amongst 62 lakh MSMEs and 45 lakh Pvt, Ltd and Public enterprises, almost 98% responded that they would prefer to have disciplined labour force with military background.
Jai Hind!
God bless us all.

My take
A step in the right direction and will work for the overall good of the country! Needs to be introduced at the earliest.
Tailpiece.
Got up around a quarter past 6, the chores and was ready by a quarter to 10.
Mini had fetched up at a 20' past 12 from Kochi and was in time for lunch.
Lekha and Mini went for a 'darshan' to the Guruvayur temple. The crowds were aplenty and therefore, they didn't enter the sanctum sanctorum.
