Exclusive Conversation with Defense Expert Sushant Singh on Agnipath Scheme

What are the basic drawbacks of the Agnipath scheme? Do the nationwide protests against the Agnipath scheme not prove that the government, while bringing this scheme, did not think at all about the impact of this scheme on the country's youth? Will one become a soldier after six months of training? Will a four-year job instil in a person the discipline and dedication that the army requires? What is the significance of pension given to soldiers? Is the argument justified that money is needed to bring technology necessary for defence, and hence a four-year job system is being introduced? Does this plan not see the clear danger of the scheme that will result in India becoming a militarised society? We speak with Defense Affairs expert Sushant Singh on all such important questions related to the Agnipath scheme.
