Trains Set Ablaze In Protests Against India’s Military Recruitment Changes



Protesters in India set fire to train coaches on Friday as demonstrations against a new military recruitment process raged for a second day. Under the new system, the armed forces can recruit men and women aged 17-and-a-half to 21, but only for four years, when service members will be compulsorily retired with no benefits.

  1. “We need younger people in the military. But only for a few years, it’s not like experience and training are valuable to the military, am I right guys?”

  2. Good thing it was a peaceful protest

  3. It would be better of British Raj still existed.

  4. Let me guess. Republicans will say Biden caused this too?

  5. no more war .. !! hey, America went through this before

  6. We should do that. Maybe Potatobike and Vodkalush would get the message. Nah, they'd just send us to Camp FEMA.

  7. Well I’m surprised NBC didn’t say Trump incited this.

  8. Wow, looks like Portland Oregon in 2020.

  9. So they burn their own modes of transportation? Real big brained thinking.

  10. They need to prepare for China, and protect are global Corporations interest too

  11. Seems like a peaceful protest…oh wait theyre not blm/antifa so its a riot

  12. Ya, that does sound like some straight up B.S.!!

  13. You Have To Fight And Train 🚂

  14. Looks peaceful like BLM riots.

  15. Pagal lok ne sub jo adda krde ne

  16. It almost looks like the Biden administration!! A COMPLETE DUMPSTER FIRE!! 😳😳

  17. This is the result of having a deviant leader, if you know what I mean.🤷‍♂🤷‍♂

  18. i wish the german peeople would do thiss in 1938

  19. How will this new rule help Indian military readiness? It seems this would eliminate all of the experienced officers. Hey, oh well. Maybe they deserve it for chasing Russian oil and military hardware.

  20. No respect for what the British invention
    S smh

  21. Andhe bhaktau, abb bolo Haramiyo,
    Peaceful community is spreading peace 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  22. All. Because of BJP get rid of them

  23. Goverment is playing with the security of India

  24. It was a mostly peaceful protest..

  25. Brilliant to see mass chaos and rioting in India. This comes of the back of the continued persecution against Muslims in an attempt to create India at Hindu state. The world has turned a blind eye against the torture and mistreatment against innocent Muslims who have lived in India for generations and are part of the fabric of the country. This uprising by Indian nationals is a nothing more than a ‘serve you right Modi for being a bigot’ as far as I am concerned. You deserve all the hatred you can get from your own Hindu nationals let alone the Muslims who live in constant fear!
