    Lightbulb REASON: Why India is not included in compulsory military service

    The Indian government opposes the idea of mandatory military training for all youth in the country for several reasons:

    Democratic Principles: India operates as a democratic republic, and the constitution does not advocate for compulsory military training. The democratic system allows individuals the freedom to choose their professions, and enforcing mandatory military training is seen as contradicting these democratic values.

    Risk of Militarization: There is a concern that making military training mandatory for all youth could result in the militarization of the entire nation. Given the existing socio-political and economic conditions, this is considered undesirable, as there is a risk that some unemployed individuals trained in military skills might become associated with undesirable elements.

    Volunteer Availability: The Armed Forces in India already have a substantial pool of volunteers to recruit from. There is no shortage of willing individuals to join the armed forces voluntarily, making it unnecessary to mandate military training for all youth.

    Infrastructure and Expenditure: Implementing compulsory military training for the entire youth population would necessitate the establishment of numerous training centers throughout the country. This would require significant resources for maintenance and upkeep. The potential benefits of providing military training to all youth are seen as inadequate compared to the substantial expenditure involved. Such an effort would impose a considerable financial burden on a developing country, straining its limited resources.
