Another ignorant and misguided “outsiders” treatise on things they havent got a clue about! Please spend a week in a foreign mission and see what is going on before edifying everyone.
India doesnt have a shortage of officers, it has a shortage of clerical staff who should be doing the beaurocratic work, like issuing visas passports etc…Only then can those recruited and trained to do foreign policy can get their act together and do what they are paid to do, what they are trained to do.
Recall the Editor’s magisterial essay – about three years back – on the state of Indian foreign policy. It could not have reached that pass if our diplomats – whether 850 or 2,000 is a matter of detail – were contributing meaningfully to policy formulation, analysis, long term strategic thinking. In recent years, they have simply been executing / implementing decisions, some / many of which they ought to have urged strenuously be not taken / reconsidered.
But who is Mohamed Zeeshan? No profile given
