Academics in India has not paid much attention to the study of academic disciplines practised in Indian military institutes like the National Defence Academy (India). The present article, based upon the author’s teaching experience at the NDA, gives an account of the English language/literature curricula for the cadets. While evaluating the programme against the backdrop of the identity of academics in the armed forces, it tries to discuss the problems of teaching English to the cadets and thereby suggests a curricular renewal in the light of changing military leadership in an age of globalization. Possible areas of research are also suggested for academic inquiry. |
