I would accept all the prejudiced nuances...@Sachin<br /><br />I would accept all the prejudiced nuances of your comments but not the one for economic progress. That, India has achieved some economic progress despite Babus, is but a miracle by itself. Look how all sick and sucking PSUs and DPSUs etc have these "best minds" serving on boards or in other high positions !! How the third and independent party like World bank assesses this bureaucracy for "ease of doing business" and look what our own Ministers and Prime Minister think of that. Pathetic is the word.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-13477554684379115622016-10-30T17:50:36.646-07:002016-10-30T17:50:36.646-07:00If there has been no change in order of precedence...If there has been no change in order of precedence then why issue a new letter ? Has no one asked this question. Simply withdraw the letter . Matter closed. Hope RM and PM realise this.<br />It is these instances that create a mess running the military. So,we see delay not just in procuring new systems, but also spares, operational,items like bullets, safety items like helmets, BPJ.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-71378166183089907322016-10-29T04:26:51.593-07:002016-10-29T04:26:51.593-07:00I don't see any reasons why our military mob i...I don't see any reasons why our military mob is of the notion that there is a inequality in the precedence of Civil-Military officer.<br />Whatever it is,is very perfect.<br />Why people are always criticizing our bureaucrats-they are the best minds and i think they are the people who have brought India at the top in the economy race.<br />Hats off to them and of-course our frontiers.<br />Please don't post such thinks i really make me feel that there are some people with an extreme level of ego-who only think of service candor and nothing else.Sachin Kangotrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15058959786016709672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-13201920107033049222016-10-29T01:55:38.964-07:002016-10-29T01:55:38.964-07:00This has been happening since we got independence...This has been happening since we got independence .

Thank you for bringing out your...Hello Col Shukla,<br /><br />Thank you for bringing out your articles unlike jumping on a story and running some research and bringing in context, Showing the history of Bureaucratic apathy against Military and how successive ministers and parties irrespective of good intent have been unable to get through the dirty power struggle in Bureaucracy at the cost of Services.<br /><br />But frankly I don't see ministers or the party at power today has nothing to gain, so I don't think they would make a false decision for the sake of it. Unbiased one can say this, but the resolution process to this looks really painful for the wait and process the services has to go through.<br /><br />Did anyone bring in a reforms panel so this does not happen to Civil or Military?<br /><br />One note the summary has repeated points and makes the list long, may be you had a different point in mind in the last one!

CSD later....<br />This is just the beginning!!<br /><br />To not take everything away from modi. Atleast he tried to tell some ppl at a rally to respect and acknowledge faujis. That will encourage them... Similar to what happens in the US. Let's hope atleast that can change.<br /><br />That's a new!

Indian people are another problem area. They will talk good about us but will do nothing to show their anger against the MOD/Govt on this issue. I have always said and do so now here again - Why die for these guys? There are enough jobs in India for people who are prepared to work like we do in army life. Just join something else, or put up a paan shop in your neighborhood. If still keen to join armed forces, do not crib about MOD/Govt. There is absolutely no chance that things will improve. None whatsoever. Don't fool yourselves.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09121677855050308582noreply@blogger.com
