When we got independence, the strategists did one thing that was good. They did not touch Military and kept it same as the British structure, same ranks and culture. Even now, Indian army is highly westernized, probably the most westernized institution in india, and that probably helps in maintaining high levels of professionalism. But still, when the junta is so corrupt, you might see some reflection in army ranks also. But if you look at the country level, and then look at the army, it is refreshingly surprising that it could exist in this country

We should thank our stars for that. Otherwise our Filthy Indian Politicos are hell bent on selling away this country to Alien Forces. At least, it is because of our Armed Forces that we are still breathing. The Blind Dependance by Aam Junta on Political Leaders so far has been a Complete Disaster; all thast they have done so far is screw this country.
& as a result, Kashmir has completetly gone to the dogs (like Punjab had, once). Thanks to the collective dirt of India called Politicians, the enemy has become so adamant that they keep on attacking our borders/ internal system with regularity, like a wave after wave in the sea.
& the one's to bear the brunt of this Political Blasphemy are the Armed Forces/ Police/ Common People who get killed unnecessarily. But the Politicos give one hoot for this,; why would they care? They know their skins will remain safe. & then begins the show - off i.e. Declaring Bravery Awards. Pooh! In fact it is these politicians who should be compulsorily bundled off to the border & made to face the line of fire. TAB JAKE AATE - DAAL KA BHAAV MALUM PADEGA.....
