 On the occasion of Army Day, join us for an enlightening discussion with Major General Yash Mor as he explores the fascinating journey of the Indian Army since independence. Drawing key insights from Steven I. Wilkinson's acclaimed book Army and The Nation: The Military and Indian Democracy since Independence, Major General Mor sheds light on how the Indian Army transformed from a colonial legacy into a 'coup-proof' force, deeply aligned with India’s democratic and pluralistic values. This video delves into several critical aspects of the Indian Army's evolution: 1. From Colonial Legacy to National ForceUnder British rule, the Indian Army was structured based on the 'martial races' theory, which grouped soldiers into 'pure class' units composed of specific communities considered inherently warlike. Post-independence, the Indian Army shifted towards 'mixed class' and eventually 'All India All Class' units, ensuring soldiers from all regions, communities, and religions served together, reflecting the diversity of the nation. 2. Building a Democratic FoundationIn 1955, the Indian military underwent a pivotal transformation when the position of Commander-in-Chief was re-designated as the Chief of Army Staff (COAS). This change reinforced the primacy of elected civilian leadership over the military. The introduction of the Warrant of Precedence placed military leaders below elected officials, ensuring the army remained under civilian control—a critical move to prevent military coups and sustain democracy. 3. A Force for Unity and StabilityBy fostering integration across India’s vast social and geographical diversity, the army became a unifying force, transcending regional and communal identities. Today, the Indian Army stands as a testament to discipline, balance, and the commitment to uphold democratic principles while protecting the nation's sovereignty. Key Questions Explored Does the Indian Army truly represent the diversity and pluralism of modern India? How has the transition from colonial structures to a democratic institution shaped the army’s ethos and functioning? What lessons can be drawn from India’s approach to building a 'coup-proof' military force? Why Watch This Video?This Army Day special isn’t just a look back at history—it’s a thought-provoking analysis of how a military institution can adapt to and uphold the values of a diverse democracy. Whether you’re interested in history, governance, or the role of the military in nation-building, this discussion offers profound insights. Join us as Major General Yash Mor celebrates the Indian Army's legacy while addressing critical questions about its present and future.
