Description

I am Colonel Alok Asthana — a soldier by training, a writer by instinct, and a reformer by conviction. After over three decades in uniform, I realized that courage on the battlefield must be matched by courage in thought. That realization has shaped my mission ever since. I write — and speak — about the unseen structures that define leadership, accountability, and decision-making in the Indian military. My books are on my book site (https://alok-books.lovable.app) and my writings on Substack (indiansalute.substack.com)

ये कहाँ जा रहें हैं हम ? हम हिन्दू ।

2026/09/23

पिछले कुछ सालों से यह साफ हो चुका है की हिंदुओं का गुस्सा सिर्फ कुछ छोटे cases मे ही भड़कता है, जैसे की हमारी पवित्र गाय माताजी वगैरह के cases मे । महाप्रभु श्री राम जी के मंदिर मे चोरी जैसे बहुत ही बड़े case मे कतई नहीं। ताज्जुब है।

The Indian ministers don't have Skin in the Game

2026/07/23

Everyone in India is demanding that the education minister resign after such a massive failure in India to hold fair eligibility exams for the medical seats. The reasons why the demand is made are not understood correctly; hence, it becomes possible for the government to fight it.

क्या आपको भी स्वर्ग, जन्नत, Heaven चाहिए ?

मुबारक हो। फंस गए आप Scam-master हंस रहा है

After watching the movie Sutlej (Punjab 95)

2026/07/09

Watched the movie Sutlej (Punjab 95). Revived some memories of the time I served in that area at that time. Movie tells me nothing new. But maybe my recall does something to your understanding. My eternal Hope- एक दिन हमारे लोग भी जागेंगे

आज मैं मोदी followers को खुश कर दूंगा

2026/06/20

चाहे जो भी हो जाए, आज मैं मोदी जी के समर्थकों से वाह -वाह लेकर ही रहूँगा

Why are my listeners and readers silent?

2026/03/18

Despite such third-rate mobster behaviour by the US and Israel in a completely defiant manner, my listeners and readers are not speaking up. Why?

Trolling of this level, of the PM, bothers me

2026/02/28

All PMs get trolled. But the type of trolling one is seeing of the Indian PM troubles me. More so, because the ideal he and his party espouse is one of Lord Ram - who took the extreme step to counter just one man's allegation on not even him, but his wife. Followers of the Lord should not - must not - take the line --- 'prove it in a court, or who cares.'

यही जन्नत है तो इस जन्नत से दोजख क्या बुरा होगा

2026/02/26

जन्नत , स्वर्ग, का तसव्वुर क्या है ? वो जगह जहाँ सबको पूरी शांति है , कोई तमन्ना नहीं । और साथ में बैठेंगे कौन ? पंडित जी । अरे ये भी कोई ज़िंदगी है ?

Who to believe? The author or the Interpreter?

2026/02/17

In several cases, one finds that the author says one thing, while others, interpreters and gurus, want you to believe something else. The argument is that we don't know what the author meant. That's always done to shield something shady.

Gen Naravane acted as the Staff Officer of MoD, not a Commander

2026/02/07

In displaying helplessness in ops due to ROE passed down by the MoD, but question it in his memoirs, Gen Naravane acted as a Staff Officer, not a Commander of Indian Army. The difference between these two appointments is what I speak about here,

If Veterans are merely 'Alarmed' at this decline in standards, they are themselves in decline

2026/01/27

A lot of events show that the Indian army has suffered a big blow due to politicization. We must say that brutally, not by wanting to soften the blow.

We don't do it because we lack the capability. not the desire

2026/01/21

When Trump does so, he is pooh-poohed as evil. When we do something similar, as much as we are capable of, we are 'good, restrained people' ईशक के नाम पर करते सभी तो रस लीला हैं मैं करून तो साला , charachter ढीला है

Religion is Good but 'Just Religion' is Not

2026/01/11

Today, every leader in India is talking only of religion - never of economics, employment, defence, education, industry. Where are we headed?

India's Governance issue - No accountability

2025/12/10

Recently, the utter mismanagement of airline bookings (Indigo) and a fire disaster (Goa club) shook the world. Unfortunately, it didn't shake the nation. In whatever we saw, the blame went solely and squarely to the end parties i.e, Indigo and the Goa club. The governing bodies - the Civil Aviation Ministry, the Goa municipality, and the Fire Services - were not blamed at all. They are there only to take our money, but do nothing. THAT is the problem with India. THAT is why everyone wants a government job.

India's strategic situation in Dec 2025

2025/12/05

India is about to buy weapons worth 10000 crores from Russia. This is being shown to be a great deal that Mr Modi has managed. Has Mr Modi managed it, or Mr Putin? The realities of India in 2025 - strategic, defense and economic.
