You got that right there, mate!
You guessed it right---I am a proud Indian.
Yep, India is poised to overtake China-- a fact that I'm not too proud of and the reasons are quite obvious.
As for the Army course, Indian youth doesn't need it. With the world's second largest army--> 2.5 million (1.3 million active and 1.2 million reserve) there is no need for those who don't want to fight to take up arms. Nevertheless, there are organisations like the National Cadet Corps which are voluntary.
As for your question---I am a man of peace and would never go to war. But if the situation arises where I have to fight in a war for my country, I would willingly lay down my life for my motherland!
