Hopefully, Gen. Rawat has the mettle to rise above the petty military-bureaucracy struggle for primacy in the pecking order, and lead through the force of his ideas and arguments, and his initiative. The fact that the position of CDS was at long last created shows that he has the support of the NSA and the PM, the most important people in the system. It is now up to him and the military as a whole to utilize this and not get bogged down in a turf battle. Leadership does not derive from where one stands in the order of precedence; it comes from the fact that people all persuasions – politicians, bureaucrats, the media, the public at large – rally around the vision and proposals that the CDS is expected to show. He will need to use tact, patience, drive and opportunity; and skillfully work the various levers available to him – public opinion, the media, the frustrations that political class and bureaucracy have with each other – to get his way. No point starting off with the usual lament about the clever bureaucrats using sleight of hand …. two should be able to play that game.
One of the early challenges for CDS General Rawat will be paucity of resources. Especially for acquisition of weapons. A certain scaling down of ambitions is unavoidable. FM, who has served as RM earlier, would be a valuable source of guidance and advice.
