Wow! So now the discussion has veered towards whether we should be collecting funds for Indian army soldiers' widows or the farmers.

My two cents is that we really really need to start a chanda fund for Fawad Khan and company. Becharey, na ghar ke na ghaat ke hue. 😭

A lot of us here have family members in ther army, I think members should stop bullshitting about army and their lavish lifestyle and their perks and focus on the real issue.
As for peril and payment, everywhere top brasses earn more. In croporate too, a CEo will earn lot more than a mere junior clerk.

A medical consultant will earn a lot more than a mere intern.


Just because "some" army personnel, "some " of the members know have had the good fortune to retire in one piece with decent payout does not make it a rule.

As I said, for every cousin and mausa from one side, another side can dig out two more such cousins to amplify their own point of view.

This is just removing issue from terrorism and why we currently are right to isolate a country we suspect promoting this terrorism in all respect.

A common soldier is not paid too much and do not have a lavish lifestyle, not just in India, but anywhere in the world.YOu can hear USA war veterans complaining about it too.

But what they get in other parts of the world, is ample of respect from fellow countrymen for doing an extremely difficult and thankless job, that lets other people bicker about such trivial non issues like drooling over tv and soap opera actors.

While in India, in order to drool over such artists without any guilt, members come and vilify those very people who protect us.


If a mere 20L compensation is good enough and death is inevitable, pack a bag and join the army.

Low level recruiting has gone down drastically in the army in recent years because young people are no longer interested to sign up for thankless job.

Why should anyone.

You will die.

and instead of showing respect, those who you die for will be busy making a mockery of your work and life so that they can enjoy their freedom to choose which actors they can drool on.


Sick of all the Dumbness being displayed in this forum non stop.

answering why he is poor ..
a man who has served more than five yr in the army is no longer poor
plz understand that..





Some time back u and someone else said Army men lead lavish life and that is when people said lavish life at higher levels where as entry level people get peanuts. The same thing I am telling.

As far as Karma making us rich and poor, whatever was his past karma he at an young age served the nation and sacrificed his life for us and he deserves all the respect.

Arnab Goswami is the scourge of Indian journalism. Why does he call it a debate when it's really an hour long monologue by him? Garbage.

What I see here is that he didn't allow Mita Vashisht to complete what she was saying (as usual) and tried to shout her down. When she reacted to his 'screeching', he adopted a higher moral ground by pitching it as a battle between arrogant Bollywood liberal and a patriotic army man.

He is preying on public emotions to garner higher TRPs for his show. How hypocritical to say BW people use the army's image to sell their product when he is doing the exact same thing.
He will be laughing his way to the bank while all of us get angry over this issue.

Of course, the show's TRPs are a tribute to the lack of critical thinking in our country. People are driven by jingoism and think that supporting Goswami is some sort of vote in favour of nationalism.

Omg this is what I was trying to tell but couldn't articulate like you. 😆

Yeah people have completely forgotten about OROP. Wonder why our retired rich defence personnels went on hunger strike for pension..

apologies for butting in. been a silent member for too long.

a question.. for someone who has got family in so many defense branches it it strange to know that you are stating defense budget being 60-70 percent and all.
the major chuck of that goes to the likes of DRDO.
And then it gets filtered to the army.

how do i know this.. i happen to have my school friend in army who got shot in kashmir and lost his mate... recently.
so pardon me if i am grateful to him and his army buddies for whatever they are doing for the country and there by for the citizens and not looking for their paychecks.





i think i have nt much intelligence..
so i did nt understand ur question much..
ur a silent member i understand..
since u have questioned..
let me tell u once more i did nt belittle any soldier..
i said fund raising for them is nt required..
as for ur thanks giving..
i appreciate it..i thank them too..
bt can u tell me why does death of a soldier matters only?
why do we nt ask that why a 11 yr old boy in Kashmir gt pelted with
heavy bullets?
was that little 11 yr old boy a terrorist too?
what voice have we raised against that?
are Kashmiri ppl nt Indians?

once again i repeat..
i did nt belittle any soldier..
i said they are self sufficient..
i did nt say dnt cry for them...
i said share some tears for the farmers ..
collect funds for them..as they are the most ignored class in my pov..

Okay, like seriously i'm sorry to say this but you aren't making any sense. Can we please end this discussion right here. Let us please not trivialize matters to such an extent.


@Bold
Are you seriously saying such stuff to defend the death of a martyr? I've no words.


Listen, it might not be a big deal for you. But for me and for some people, it is a HUGE deal that these army men are fighting at the borders and saving our lives. Imagine if those people also would want to lead a happy and normal life like us, there would be no one left to guard our country. God alone knows what would happened then. Its easier said that we would sacrifice our lives and crap but honestly we are here typing in AC halls and enjoying all kinds of luxury while our soldiers are fighting in extreme circumstances. It takes will, hardwork, courage, dedication and lot of mental strength to do what these people in forces are doing. I hope you respect our sentiments and let this discussion end here.

Haha I think most people understood what you were saying, so don't worry. 😳

No matter where one stands on this issue, I think it's important to realize that Goswami is no champion for army people. He is simply playing to the gallery and wants to ride his way to the bank on public sentiment.

Also have you read about one soldier who lost his life in the Uri attack whose family did not have money to do his last rites and borrowed money for it?? If as per you they had a lavish life why were they poor?

Borrowed money ? What Govt is doing then? What MNS and shiva sena is doing? why we are debating on Bollywood when more materialistic and serious actions need to be taken against govt for support families of soldiers. This is really sick now.
