Mr.M.P.Anil Kumar,has done yeomen service by bringing in to light the deficiencies in the Sainik Schools organisation which feeds the the military establishments.One view point that has not been taken in to account in the shortage of eligible personnel for the armed forces, is the existence of medieval and anarchronistic structure that the Indian military establishment suffers from and its refusal to re-orient itself to the changing modern times where the aspirants are no more impressed by the clanish and religious compulsions to sacrifice their lives in the discharge of their duties. The constituency from which the officers and other ranks hail,is now aware of the opportunities for a educated person with atleast average capabilities across the corporate world in a democratic state and is not willing to sacrifice his entire life in the performance of hazardous duties in un-congenial environment, deprived of the fundamental rights a citizen enjoys in a free country when his self esteem is compromised.The present officer cadre despite feeling revulsion when they are treated inhumanly by their superiors,fail to learn a lesson when they come to occupy the seats of command and control and repeat the same mistakes that their seniors committed. Thus the colonial system continues and each officer is frustrated and looking for the day when he will be able to get out and feel the freshness of air outside.Corruption,personal vendetta,victimisation,favourtism and nepotism are so widely
