Question

Write a letter to your brother explaining him why you want to join Indian Defence Services

Answer 1

I am a sportsperson and I would like to lead an active life, rather than being desk borne. (Than why not continue in that sports and make a living. Army life is very much a desk life except few arms and that too in field, let me be frank here). How many officers are sportsperson at national level? Merely 0.001 percent of the total officers strength. These days, element of fitness is going down in army while it is growing exponentially in civil. You see more and more people from corporate going to gyms and having a healthy lifestyle. Army person is involved in the physical activities but a need to revive it is becoming desperate among officers.
