We have seen the gradual decay of quality from Generals like Thimmaya and FM Manekshaw to the likes of the 'political appointees' we have today. Unfortunately, the day when the COAS will suddenly realise he has reproductive organs will never come since such officers with guts and courage of conviction do not make it beyond Lt Col. The rot has reached right up to the top and there is no cure in sight in this army of 'yes-men'.Col PK Vasudevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06226816681355056718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937088411451927836.post-56365155021487856182012-06-02T16:42:26.603+05:302012-06-02T16:42:26.603+05:30Great goods from you, man.

I'm glad to read the comments ...Dear Veterans<br /> <br />I'm glad to read the comments of Admiral Harinder Singh and General SK Bahri on Mr. Nitin Pai's article in Business Standard (RMP 192/2011 - 29 Apr 2011) <br /> <br />The gradual slide in Defence Forces' status versus babus and police services is a result of our own ineffective leadership. Everytime the babus kick us with okay from politicians, we have taken it lying down. We have not realised that we are being treated as sentries and chowkidars and not guardians of the nation. I have been yelling at every forum that the fault lies with us because our Chiefs' forget that they are still the tigers even though without teeth and claws. Nothing will change as long as politicians are fire-walled by babus. Petitions, dharnas, fasts, supporting Anna Hazare against corruption et al will not help. There is only one mantra for us: <br /><br />Iqbal's famous lines ... Khudi ko kar buland itna ...<br /> <br />I have said it many times and I say it again: one statement from the Army Chief on the state of the nation will make all babus and politicians run for cover. And if the top brass of all three services stand together to thwart any attempt to dismiss the Chief, Defence Forces would regain their legitimate place as the strongest national pillar among legislature, executive, judiciary and media.<br /> <br />Bravery does not happen only on the battlefield. <br /> <br />Veteran Ram Gulrajani, Chennai.<br />ramgulrajani@gmail.comINDIA OFMY DREAMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08354654681348443147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937088411451927836.post-83944545437113929822011-04-29T22:39:46.400+05:302011-04-29T22:39:46.400+05:30Dear Lalitji,
I refer to the letter of Lt. Gen. ...Dear Lalitji,<br /> <br />I refer to the letter of Lt. Gen. Bahri in your blog today.<br /> <br />There is a reason for everything that happens in our life and in the world and our Armed forces are no exception to that. The under mentioned letter from Veteran Ram Gulrajani explains so very well why our Armed forces have become subservient to politicians, IAS and IPS services and no one else to blame but Armed forces themselves. I hope, you recollect, that, only a few weeks ago the Lt Gen of Northern Command was made to apologise to Omar Abdullah for an ordinary remark. The Army General or the Lt Gen did not refuse to apologise in order to uphold the honour and dignity of the service. HOW THAT EFFECTS THE MORALE? What a Shame?<br /> <br />There is another reason why Armed forces have lost their due respects and it is the INDIAN NATIONAL DISEASE of CORRUPTION. Corruption is very much in Indian genes and psyche and Armed forces could not exclude themselves from this national disease. Corruption was always there in the Army but it had its limit but over the last 20-25 years or so, many Army top brass have been competing with the politicians and BABUS how much they can also loot. How many recruitment and promotions are now done based on merits and fitness of the men and not through bribery. This creates so many Dal Generals, Rum Generals, Land-Mafia Generals, Adarsh housing Generals, some full Generals grossly involved in amassing wealth and properties and worst of all those Armywallahs( MUST THE LOWEST OF THE LOW ) in MoD took their cuts from buying coffins for Kargil martyrs. Does anyone think, that, such behaviour has not been overlooked by the civilian counterparts? A shop-lifter thinks nobody is watching him but in reality every crime leaves evidence and its marks. WHAT A SHAME.<br /> <br />Any example which comes from the top and that is nowhere more important than in the Indian Army because of its size and responsibility. I REPEAT EXAMPLES HAVE TO COME FROM THE TOP AND GREED AND GRAB MENTALITY MUST BE CURBED<br /> <br />I hope Lalitji, if you could print both my letter and the letter of Veteran Ram Gulrajani.<br /> <br />With best wishes and warm regards,<br /> <br />Amit Bhadhuri<br />Former CISF Officer and IESM MemberINDIA OFMY DREAMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08354654681348443147noreply@blogger.com
