While global corporations setting up GCCs in India continue to express confidence in availability of skilled AI engineers, the panel argued that India’s real challenge lies elsewhere.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
Quite a misinformed write up, almost like a press note from Army HQ. The officer doesn’t even understand Article 310 of Indian Constitution properly, which only elaborates on Tenure of Officers serving the Union or State.
The point sorely missed in all these ‘press notes’ is that why the CO/GOC/Army HQ did not logde a formal complaint if any excess were done by Arunachal Pradesh policemen. This would have ensured a strictest possible action against anyone found guilty. All across the spectrum, the retaliatory action led by CO, including that of ransacking the Police Station & PWD office, is being heroically defended by Army officers. Are we moving towards a society where an eye for an eye has to be the norm? There are laws enshrined in our Constitution, which need a more serious reading by armed forces’ personnel, instead of repeated scans to find where the words ‘defence force’ occurs before ‘civil services’.
Armed forces attract, at best, the left over of contenders, generally those who do not find place in civil services or any other competitive recruitment exams. Hence, those who chest thump that they defend the borders for the country should also be enlightened that they are able to do their hard found jobs only because their families back home are kept safe by the police forces.
And how exactly could the DC SP and the CO nipped this in the bud? The soldiers had been returned to the CO in a beaten up state. What would you do in his place, have tea with the SP and plan on how to hush up the illegality of the SHO. Meekness of your ilk has caused this incident. You all kept hushing up illegalities and thereby encouraged it. Therefore some where You personally are also responsible General sahab.
Such things and incidents are bound to occur because those
at the helm of affairs of the nation are not at all interested in
inspiring virtues,values, niceties, decencies and humility
in public life ! Their aim is not to deliver the goods but only
to win elections for decades ! The reforms and improvements
in the system and different fields are none of their concerns !
As the polity of nation is sowing so is it ultimately reaping in
the bargain !
Where is the vision,farsightedness, magnanimity and morality
on the part of the ruling leadership and class of the day to make
an impact on the natives serving various forces and departments
of the country ?
By penning down this piece, Lt.General (Retired) HS Panag has
sounded a note of caution portraying a picture of the state of affairs
of army and police forces of the nation in their true colours ! Thus
it should be taken note of seriously and suitable measures intitiated
to stem the rot !
On this divide, my sympathies are with the mandarins, more sinned against than sinning. Of course, it is for Raksha Mantri to iron out the differences, create more synergy.
Bureaucrats must realize that they come into high position by passing just ONE EXAMINATION. It brings them into contact with others who have reached an equivalent high position in their department through many years’ of steady gaining of knowledge and hard work in their field.
Therefore, by an average decency which every good human should have, a bureaucrat should conduct himself just a tiny small step behind a field professional, even if in official rank the two are equal. The field professional will be overwhelmed by this small gesture!
This quality should be nurtured in administrative officers at the IAS or other services training centres. If such officers can inculcate this bit of humility in their conduct, they will be the ultimate GAINERS, because they will be able to achieve immensely by way of smoother administration which is anyway supposed to be their designated job.
