China is a South Asian country, sharing borders with 14 countries including India. Its significance lies in its rise in the region and hegemonic influence over smaller countries through loans and the Belt and Road Initiative. China and India have fought a major war in the 60s and have disputes over the Aksai Chin and LAC, and tensions over the Indo-Pacific.
Ravi Shankar is mad. One does not become a General in our army like one becomes a petty official. There is a selectipn process as he will be responsible for thousands of lives and has to guard the nation. A General does not comecinto contact with the PM. There is a military leadership that he hascto interact.

I think Paki bots are trying to spread the ill will here. Trying to show top leadership in poor light. They know they are are going to get a kick on the arse soon.
Appointments in armed forces are thoroughly vetted at every stage. These are not political or civil services appointments where you get postings by having right connections.
So keep politics out of it. Prople reaching the top in armed forces are there by sheer merit.
Anything you want to know ask jo !!????
Mr. Ravi shankar, how can you just ignore the capabilities of Lt. gen Joshi and call him puppet just because this is not a decision taken by your favoured political party ? The appointment is simply on merit keeping with best interests of our country. How can you be so judgemental that this appointment will make Indian defence vulnerable even before he has commenced work on his post ?
Talking as if you would have done a better job !!
This story appears to be a plant or a fake news. The correspondent who has reported this article does know nothing about army’s promotion system. A corps commander has to become an army commander before he is even considered to become the COAS and the entire proess takes minimum 4 years. The current chief is retiring in Dec 2019 that’s just one year three months hence
Should not be posted on media I agree with S Mahajan totally ! Best of luck to him!
All generals at that level are equally competent to head any corps of the Indian Army. As regards expertise on China is concerned, so called China experts know as much as Chinese would want them to know. Publicity for routine postings of army generals should be best avoided by the media.
Mr. Ravi Shankar surely appears to live in fool’s paradise.
He feels that a leader with a spotless character overwhelmingly elected by our nation is working to damage the interests of the same nation.
He is forgetting or purposely overlooking how single handedly Modiji made Gujrat no. 1 state and turned it into most aspirational also.
Appers clearly that Mr. Ravi is either a Modi-hater or Pappu Lover or both.
Totally agree with you. This benefit seeking, blind politics and groupism is the root cause that India’s might to become super power is getting delayed day by day.
His agitation is justified. He might be one of those who had huge stash of cash before Nov 2016 or was robbing the govt off sales Tax until July 2017.
We can understand Mr. ravi shankar.
Army Chief has is responsible for honour safety and welfare of serving army, veterans and widows. These groups do not agitate and maintain traditional discipline. A puppet Chief is a ” yes man”, dangerous for the fabric of soldier fraternity. So, he is dangerous for the idea of India too.
Let’s hope, the next Chief fits the bill.
Let Army be run as per the army tradition and civilian to lay off .
No explanation no comment by any one .Gp Capt bk das
Modi government selected a Puppet to toe their line and weaken the defence forces through internal dissent.
Why publicise & justify Army top brass selections in media ?
Is it appropriate
