Disastrous dictatorship 
In a democratic system a person becomes stronger by public support, not by gaining an official capacity. Becoming stronger due to a post leads to a disastrous dictatorship.

Free ration not required
I agree that free rations to the senior Army Officers particularly to those who are not on combat duties is not required as they are as well paid as other government officers and there are no specific hardships to these officers. Infact even the subsidized canteen facilities to senior officers has no meaning as they can well afford the market rates. However these rules are supposed to be applied equally to all services including IAS and IPS whose officers also tend to indulge into these feudalistic practices of having a retinue of servants to serve them at homes. IPS officers in particular has made this practice of having an 'ardali' attached to them as an officially permissible. All these practices are borrowed from the erstwhile "Raj" and have no place in the modern India. It is time that a stop is put to these archaic practices in every institution be it Army, IAS or Police forces.

It is a shame
It is a shame that the Supreme Court has to admonish the Defence Ministry not to treat soldiers like beggars. It is even sadder that these men are serving the country at the cost of life and limb, and then government, on the advice of certain malicious persons, is litigating all the way to the supreme court, just to deny disabled veterans a couple of thousand rupees a month. And yet there are those who insist that army men are somehow "pampered" (they are probably the same people who cause these cases to be sent to the supreme court, where the ASG then has to hear this sort of admonishment, because of their trickery).

Two IRSs are worst services
Definitely the two IRSs are the worst services amongst the organised group A services. Promotions are slower by more than 5 years than the IAAS. Transfers are resorted by the board, just to harras the officers. Unwilling officers were posted, ignoring the request of willing officer, who want to stay in class d or the so call hard posting. Besides it provides the worst facilities like housing, transport etc. The boards never forward request for deputation until hard bargaining is made, even when the officer on deputation is even less than 1% the working strength under these two Boards.

Cadre management poorest
Cadre management of Central Engineering Services with the exception of may be Railways is poorest. 1980 batch in most of these services has yet to be promoted to SAG level. Persons responsible for their cadre management gloat over this situation rather than feeling ashamed. This is why Engineers prefer to join Civil Services(where prescribed minimum qualification is only a Bachlor's degree in any subject)rather than joining Engineering Services(what a waste! as country spends huge sum on their education).Engineering Services have to be taken out of this mess if our leaders want to make India a developed nation. In the globalised economy Government Engineers are being lured with hefty pay packages which they would not be able to resist for a long time if their humiliation in the Government continues. The loss will be of the Government and the people of this still poor country.

Congratulations to Gen V K Singh
I cannot hold back myself from congratulating and complimenting Gen V K Singh for taking over as Indian Army Chief. As a BSF officer I have served with him while he was Brig and on several occasions have had close interactions with him. I feel proud of my little but highly cherished association with. He is a great leader, a true commander, a real soldier and a genuine human being who inspires not only his fellow armymen but officers and men of other forces too.
