[@prasad-is1wo]

Bandhu , I understand your logic and it truly applies to every other field as you said but Fauj is a totally different ball game its not just a job its a passion , motivation and commitment to protect the nation where, while extending superior quality of dedication to job, if need be you lay down your life for the purpose, whereas in the example you quoted you stop short of laying down your life for the job you hold and such commitment and loyalty comes when you are assured of no worries about your family and kith and kin (as you for the country and the country for you). Hence I mentioned LOYALTY. I would request you to Put yourself in the shoes of a soldier insted of just raising a debate point. @@siddarthshah1773

[@srikop]

Completely agree with Lt Gen Shukla sir, Indian defense leadership also badly need “Technocrats Leadership” in the integrated units! Man and technology should integrate to get full advantage. Use Technology as a tool to compliment human strength , capabilities and intelligence! Technology is never bad, depends on how it’s used and applied!

Without a doubt AI will pay a huge role in Nation's progress. NCERT should introduce AI from Sr. secondary onwards.

[@LuckyIndian24]

Although privileged to be a friend of Gen Shukla for more than 4 decades I, yet, remain an ardent admirer of his ravenousness for "extra-reading" which he indulges in after the office hours. He finishes minimum 3 books per week. Most of us don't do that in a year. His only problem in life is that there're only 24 hours in a day. A man of his depth is a rare find and his appetite for knowledge has now turned him into an indisputable national asset. Jai Hind!
