India must introduce the ‘National Guard’, now!

India must establish the ‘National Guard’, to deal with national calamities and not use the national defense forces for such purposes. But before we even consider such an option, India needs to identify the mistakes of the past 60 years or more. The biggest problem has been the qualifications set for such national project enrollments. The British needed the bodies and the brawn rather than the brains and the independent India followed the tradition blindly. We never paused to think through our priorities that are remarkably different than the ones identified by the ‘British Colonial Authority’, in India. What we need now is ‘Brains’ plus ‘Brawn’ and not the other way around. The best way to achieve this is to do the recruitment on collage campuses. Every recruit in the ‘Indian National Guard’ must have atleast 2 year collage degree to qualify for enrollment. A high school diploma for any volunteer in central security services has proved to be absolutely inadequate. This is the prime reason why our security forces are committing human rights violations all over the country.
