Re: [MTC Global] "The Democratic Nation of Army" - The Economic Times, 26 June 2013. Violent uprising can now only be avoided by a Call to our Forces.

i do not agree... they are effective because they are out of power....just like so many other organizations..as CAG for instance...who showed that they can be effective..

if they were in power .....politicians would have found a way to corrupt them.....as it is happening in some cases where there is involvement of the armed forces...

there role is far greater in protecting the borders....our real enemy within ..if it is politics of the cheapest order... our enemy outside is no less lethal...

please do not sow seeds of thought that may cause discord....

There work is laudable...and has no parallel..in the face of recent uttarakhand tragedy....

but as their general said ..Our men are trained to handle such task....

if you have to learn something then learn leadership skills from them... dedication to duty.... organization skills...and most importantly execution...

the army works as a unit...they have everything from resources to man power to technology...you just name it...

Our other organization need to learn cooperation , information collection and dissemination...and effective execution based on the information...at a time of chaos...

But instead of doing that...they just run for the nearest cover....

We must understand..that once army people and officers retire..they should not be going back home but re-oriented for other positions in civilian life where their skills and experience in handling such situations can be utilized...

And civilian administration must also help them to become integrated into civilian life....because civilian settings present their own set of challenges... dealing with army men is different than dealing with civilians..

Army officials tend to enter into educational institutions ..not that  i am averse to it..but some how i feel they are better in field..

thanks and regards

Dr.Padma

TR Ramaswami's article in The Economic Times of 26 June 2013 (page 12), an excellent proposition for redeeming the country; is reproduced below:

 

"The Democratic Nation of Army"

 

"We were the first country to democratically elect a communist government in 1953. Now the army has taken over this nation without a coup. They ensure that elections are held without fear.They are fighting on the borders, fighting insurgency (police work) within the borders, handling floods, earthquakes, tsunamis (all civil work), finishing stadiums and even winning medals. They run some of the best schools, and medical and engineering colleges. Each institution - NDA, IMA, DSSC, not to mention HAWS and CIJWS - is AAA+, where the world comes to learn. Indian troops are always in demand for UN operations. Their cantonments are like Singapore and Shanghai. Last but not least, their 'betis' dominate Bollywood and beauty contests. They are effectively incharge without sitting at 10, Janpath, because the other arms of state have proved to be totally inept. Even babies falling in bore-wells trust only the army! So, in 2014, why do'nt we become the first country to elect a military government democratically? "
