ARMED FORCES - STATUS MUCH HIGHER THAN ANY BUREAUCRAT
( In our country, the bureaucracy still lives in the British era. It was unfortunate that Sardar Patel, the Iron Man of India did not get time before the independence to Indianise the ICS officers to be shaped into the democratic structure. After Independence the Bureaucrats managed to instil fears in the minds of the politicians that we had at that time of a military take over and got into downgrading the Armed Forces to a miserable extent, may be the status or the pay and allowances. The Nation must realise, specially after the situation in Afghanistan post 15 Aug 2021, that the Nations can disintegrate in case the Armed forces do not have the morale and will to sacrifice for the nation.)
