BJP will make army training compulsory: VK Singh

Former Indian Army chief General VK Singh (retd) on Wednesday, while lauding the role of jawans belonging to Himachal Pradesh, said that the BJP would make army training in educational institutes compulsory if it came to power. While talking to Hindustan Times here on Wednesday, he said there was a need to give more representation to the youth brigade of Himachal Pradesh in Indian forces to strengthen their morale. He talked about the shortage of forces at the officers' and jawans' level and said that all vacant posts should be filled up on priority basis. He said that he had sent a proposal to the central government to introduce courses in schools and colleges to prepare youngsters for the Indian forces. "However, that proposal has been dumped by a section of bureaucracy not interested in the welfare of Indian people and jawans. We will try to make army training compulsory in educational institutions once the BJP comes to power," said Singh. The former Army General said that though personally he was not in favor of creation of more regiments on regional basis, yet there was a need for the restructuring of the regiments and to "bid good bye to the present system of recruitment in Indian forces". "The present system had harmed the cause of many states including Himachal Pradesh," he added. The former Army chief said that the reports of military coups by the Indian army as reported in a section of media was not based on facts and was purely on basis of hearsay. "I had sent my reply and report to the Union government, but without any result. Now I'm planning to file a criminal case against the paper once the election process is over," he added. He said that his aim to join the BJP was to end corruption from the Indian polity and provide a viable alternative to the Congress party that had "harmed the cause of India too much". "India had suffered much under the Congress rule and this party should be ousted from the Indian polity forever," said Singh. Talking about the announcement of 'one rank, one pension' by the central government, he said, "The reported announcement was made in haste and without any budget. Rahul Gandhi had done nothing but lied to the people," added the former general. He said that the Aam Aadmi party had done no service to the family of Param Vir Chakra winner Vikram Batra by fielding his mother Kamla Kanta Batra in the Lok sabha election from Hamirpur. "Instead, such families deserve emotional support and respect rather than dragging them into politics," said Singh.

in 2-3 years of coming to power in Karnataka, BJP immediately distorted history books and imposed religious things in the book. Sample A children's story where a tiger takes an oath to stop eating cows as eating cows is a sin

GovindaHaadu (Cow's song) is in news again in Karnataka. During the BJP government, the poem had been changed, to suit the 'Hindutva ideology' and convey that cow slaughter was bad. The critics termed it ''anxiety of Indianness". Now, with the change in government, the secularists feel its time to teach the children a different version, which they feel upholds the order of nature. In place of 'Govina Haadu', it's called 'Huliya Haadu.' During the BJP government, Govina Haadu, the tale of Punyakoti, a cow, was prescribed in the 8th standard Hindi textbook (2012). The conclusion had been twisted to give a different meaning. The secularists had opposed the move by saying that it was to propagate the idea that consumption of beef is immoral. It put the beefeaters in the position of tiger, which consumes cow meat. In fact, Committee For Resisting Saffronization of Text Books'' had brought out a book 'A Right Wing Ideology in the textbooks of Karnataka - A critical appraisal.' The present version of the poem penned by poet and playwright K Y Narayanaswamy is different from both the original and what was prescribed during the Saffron regime. The poet says the poem, which is from the perspective of the tiger raises several questions. It speaks of order in the nature, culture politics, human intervention and food culture. Even the tigress is a mother. If it fails to get a prey or dies, the cubs suffer. How can the tiger's suffering be different from that of a cow?'' asks Narayanaswamy. Former backward classes commission chairperson C S Dwarakanath strongly feels that the perspective and understanding of the poem should change. For decades, we have heard one version. We should break the myth. The poem by Narayanaswamy is good, for it expands the theme and gives a different perspective,'' he said. ORIGINAL: Punyakoti, a cow, is accosted by a tiger in the forest. The cow promises the tiger that she would return to become his prey after feeding her calf. The tiger lets her go. The cow feeds her calf, tells him that he is an orphan in future, and returns to the tiger. The tiger leaves the cow without eating as the latter displays extraordinary honesty and truth. The tiger feels God wouldn't forgive him if he killed the truthful cow. The tiger jumps off from the hill and sacrifices his life. DURING BJP RULE: The conclusive lines of the poem had been changed. As per the changed version, the tiger says, "Using cow as food is a wicked thought. So I pledge that I will not eat any cows here after..." NEW VERSION: The tigress's cub asks the mother to let the cow go to feed her calf. When the cow returns, the tigress changes her mind and says: both of us are mothers. You go back.'' The tigress moves towards the top of the hill with its cub. Cowherd Kalinga wants to end the tiger menace and save his cows. So, he shoots the tigress down. Seeing the tigress fall, the cow thinks that she had sacrificed her life out of guilt. Before breathing her last, the tigress advises its cub not to show any mercy when it comes to hunting. The cub seeks answers: is the death justified? Didn't I become an orphan? If meat-eating is wrong, then let God create grass-eating tigers.''

This is what righties and lefties do with a very old song which is taught for years without any issues. Trying to use text books to propagate their agenda.

Punyakoti is a poem about honesty and steadfastness in keeping your promises even when there is a heavy price to pay by doing so. It teaches you, that if you are honest, and keep your word in difficult times, and not take the easy way out, even at the insistence of friends and family, there is light at the end of the tunnel. It not supposed to be about tigers and cows. :hatsoff: to BJP, for making it about not killing, and not eating cows, and to the new govt for bringing in the tiger's perspective.
