Indian Military: The sieze within- What has been done?

Tuesday, June 12, 2007 (New Delhi)One of the acknowledged strengths of the Indian Army is its rigid discipline and high morale but with corruption eroding the system is there a guarantee that the juniors would not revolt or at least protest against corrupt seniors?
Surely the top brass is well aware of these issues. What is perhaps lacking is the courage to take them up at the appropriate forum of decision makers. The brass would do the nation and the army itself a big favour by taking appropriate remedial measures before time runs out.
Indian Army: The siege withinComment: The top- heavy Brass of the Indian Military should address the problems of the Junior Commanders least they systematically downgrade the command and control chain. If mid- course corrections are not applied the combat effectiveness of the forces (units/ Battalions) are bound to reduce in spite of the speedy Modernisation programme envisaged for 2020! Sadly Senior Retired Generals write more articles on Military Strategy rather than on real live issues confronting the Military. Senior Generals need to find solutions and not selfishly improve their own career prospects by proxy at the peril of the nation's security.
