Peter Manuel's ‘Cassette Culture’ showed the booming Bhakti music during the '80s and '90s when Anoop Jalota, Gulshan Kumar achieved success by singing the sanitised Bhajans.
Economists say there are weaknesses in India’s GDP data. But statisticians claim the accusations are based on flawed understanding, saying while GDP has problems, the economists are looking in the wrong places.
Now that this government has finished with making use of the armed forces for electoral gains they have started showing their true colours. Shameless is the only thought that comes to mind.
All perks given to politicians should be curtailed after their retirement…..
Given an option to quit based on these decisions as they change the conditions of employment.why will someone stay at a place where he can be affected by these diseases if he is not working in army. Allow people to quit those who want to quit after these decisions and the government will realise the fun.
Unfortunately a lot of thoughtless actions have been taken by senior leadership of Army since last 2 years against the interest of the Army. Rank & File expect Service Chiefs to guard intersts of Armed Forces & personal. Unfourtanetly the fence is eating the crop. They seem to be deaf failing to listen as to what rank & file has been talking.
Folks,
This is not even something that should have become a subject to be discussed. But then we are in Kaliyuga.
I cannot see how the Army HQ reached such strange conclusions. The MoD is well advised to evaluate the leadership in the Army, for such actions appear to be based on someone’s fad, rather than any logical deduction.
Disability Pensions are granted after a due process in accordance with rules and regulations. How on earth anyone can get it, unless it is granted, is something I fail to understand.
If in a case it has been granted irregularly then almost everyone in the chain from the doctor to the Army HQ, to the PCDA, to the Auditors, to the MoD are at fault.
How are those drawing such pension accountable.
What a strange solution for a non- existent malady.

“Life style diseases”. Defence service personnel have no separate life style to live compared to civil life style. Serving in inhumane conditions (hard area postings as defined in defence) for a period of minimum two years can’t be compensated by merely with “disability pension” to which a soldier (offer. or Ors.) suffers for rest of his life. Few bad characters may have misused their top position and gained monetary benefits for that rests are punished by imposing income tax is not natural justice. A foolproof system, which is quite possible in modern medical science may be introduced to curb the malpractices. The letter of 1971 “War Hero” to Army HQ may be studied on this subject. There is no mechanism to measure and compensate Wg. Cdr. Abhinandan F(P), who suffered mental and physical distress after bailout from cockpit and also of his family members. Loss of trillion of rupees by miscreants can’t be recovered by imposing income tax on disabled. Indian Railways may also consider to withdraw facilities extended to physically challenged and concession to heart and other diseases patients including their attendants to travel for treatment!!!
The 1971 “War Hero” has clearly spelled out on this subject and needs no further clarification/comments. Those “Policy Makers” may gothrough with cool mind. Personnel in uniforms have no choice than to accept, be it good or bad. I feel defence personnel are baby of none.
