army should not be downgraded.. It's assertion is not interference, by Dr k Prabhakar Rao
ARMY SHOULD NOT BE DOWN GRADED..IT’S ASSERTION IS
NOT INTERFERENCE
Prof Dr Col K Prabhakar Rao Retd
In a recent article in Enadu ( Telugu) Kuldip Nayar former Indian High commissioner to UK was very critical about army and in no uncertain terms he said that army’s intereference in civil administration has been increasing. He saw threat to Indian democracy due to such rise.This is not first time that civilian beaurocrats in India have been critical of army and in fact the relations between Indian beaurocrats and army have always been unsatisfactory.RATHER IT IS A SIMMERING POT. This is due to many reasons.
In fact, Jawaharlal Nehru the first PM of India was pretty shit scared of army. He was very much apprehensive of General Thimmayya who commanded great respect in all services and also internationally. Before Chinese war in 1962, The army chief General Thimmayya and Defence minister VK Krishna menon had serious differences and General Thimmayya submitted his resignation. However, General Thiimmayya was much persuaded by Nehru and he withdrew his resignation. Later, the PM stabbed the General in back by letting the General down in parliament badly and soon Thimmayya retired. The war against China was a serious catastrophe and India received grave shock and VK Krishna menon was sacked later. India begged on streets to collect donations to pay for the arms purchase and to raise national defense fund. It was a matter of great shame and disgrace. Begging on streets for funds was more disgraceful than loss shamefully at the hands of superior Chinese army.. In fact, Nehru should have resigned taking responsibility as it was a civilian failure and not an army failure Or President should have sacked the PM as his policies were crucially responsible.President Radhakrishnan should have sacked Nehru for his failures and it was contemplated too.In fact Nehru was too busy in Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai campaign, Non aligened movement along with Marshal Tito of Yoguslavia, President Naser of Eypt and Sukarno of Indonesia.He abdicated his basic responsibility of taking care of national safety, But dismissal of Nehru did not happen as Nehru was popular among masses. Nehru continued in chair, People say he died of sorrow and shock in 1964 which is of course debatable. Politicians are thick skinned like komodo dragons that are voracious meat eaters.Army’s prestige nose dived. It is also learnt that during the funeral procession of Nehruji army chief was shadowed by the civilian intelligence probably chief duly armed. What he could have done if army decided to take over. Such was the distrust among civilan govt over army. It was only after 1965 and 1971 that army regained some of it’s lost prestige and confidence to some extent. Nehru’s govt made sure that all service chiefs are of same rank so that they could never unite for a military coup. The word commander – in- chief that was earlier present was taken off. Thus army was cut to size as first step. Next step was down gradation of army ranks in protocol. The ranks were seriously down graded in comparison to political leaders and IAS babus. With this started the eternal and never ending squabble between army and civilian babus. Army is under MOD and all its matters have to be processed through MOD that is dominated by civilian Babus ,The rank of colonel was very badly down graded. Its embroidered cap badge displaying three lions was replaced with isignificant regimental badges. The battallion commanders became Colonels. Downgradation became fatal to army. Brigadiers who also sported Three lion cap badge sported the badge worn by General officers. They helped thmeselves in the melee. All senior officers took care of themselves sacrificing others interests.
In a democracy Army has to take back seat and civilian authority is supreme and this fact no one denies including army.The police forces that keep copying army upgraded their ranks and promotional avenues for IPS officers while army suffered and there was none to hear to armys woes.Even a circle Inspector became a Gazetted officer.Now even sub Inspector is a Gazetted rank. Generals were happy with their star plates,revolving red lights on cars, flags, scores of orderlies at home, functions, ladies nites, armed guards at homes, regimental dinner nights, member ships of star clubs, , top guest house reservations, gurads of honor, air travel, foreign trips, much of perks and titles and awards such as VSM, AVSM, PVSM and even bars to them .
Mr Nayar in his article was critical that the special powers granted to army in Jand K state and in Eastern troubles states such as Nagaland have to be removed. In fact the young and immature dynastic chief miniser of J and K recommended to the govt that armys powers be removed in his state. Mr Nayar lamented that army resisted the move and the govt was helpless. This he saw it as armys influence over civilain authority. Secondly, the recent encounter in Kashmir in which some youth were killed was quoted. Kashmiris claim that these youths were innocent . The aspect of siachin glacier also became a matter of discussion. It has been claimed that the foreign ministers of India and Paksitan agreed to withdraw troops from Siachin. Mr Nayar alos claimed that the retired senior military officers opined that these areas need not be held as there was no purpose. However he lamented that army insisted on occupying Siachin lands. This matter has been a gain seen as intereference in civil administration. Is Mr Nayar competent to decide and discuss the strategic issues of defense. After all ,he is a mere bureaucrat of some repute. But that does not make him all knowing type.It is only in India a Civil servant becomes an all knowing type god. If India withdrew from Siachin pak would have surely occupied these lands and will not honor the commitmnets. Pakistan always betrayed us. Similarly Kashmir can not be held with armys hands tied behind. Jihadis would butcher army while guys like Kuldip nayar would be watching TV in their cozy house over a glass of chilled drink munching chicken legs and boiled eggs in between.. The Kashmir valley has been Islamised. They have driven away pandits from the valley while previous govt watched and kept mouth shut.The muslims in valley had free hand while pundits were driven out and temples destroyed. Pakistan is in hand in glove with separatists and making all attempts to infiltrate into state. This is being stopped only by presence of army and to some extent by BSF too.. Army knows what is best for the valley to stop infiltration and not arm chair bound KuldipNayar and similar beaurocrats. It is bettter Mr Nayar relaxes after retiremnet instead of creating confusion and degrading armys stature and demoralize them. He is a chip of old dead wood awaiting discard. Dead wood must be discarded at once or else it would get rotten and soon would emanate foul smell and will be infested with bacteria, insects and worms that would be harmful for people around. Kuldip nayar is in that state.

India let down badly by a coterie in 1962 war by Dr k Prabhakar Rao
INDIA LET DOWN BADLY BY A COTERIE IN 1962 war
Dr prof Col Kuntamukkala Prabhakar Rao
I read aIl books on 1962 war available. Everything summarily points towards the Nehru Menon coterie and their failure in understanding defence requirements projected by service chiefs particularly. gen Thimmayya who was a towering personality internationally.Nehru was scared of a possible coup by the army chief and and it haunted him all the time.Nehru played all his cards to humiliate the general everywhere particularly in parliament after he withdrew his resignation after a show down with Menon.He was most scared of General Thimmayya who was admired worldwide. Most of the newly liberated nations fell to army in coups and such Pakistan was next door under self styled Field marshal Ayub Khan .Coups worldwide was common in those days and Nehru was worried. he had no sleep.Nehru from the days of newly acquired freedom was always harping on non violence, peace etc and even was contemplating disbanding services saying India had no enemies and police was sufficient for security of the nation. how foolish he was as a statesman!he even said to General sir Lockhart later succeeded by Gen Roy butcher another English man distinguished officer, who was chief in 1948 saying the same words.but the INDO pak war of 1947 opened his eyes and Nehru had to eat his own words. Failure in 1962 war made severe effect on Nehru mentally, physically and health wise and lowered his image internationally . his China policy was shattered. Chou enlarge of China graced India by a visit few years ago and nehruvian govt went berserk with happiness with slogan a. Hindi chini bhai bhai.. The Chinese attack on our borderers came as a bolt from blue and Nehru became pale with horror.. defeat in the war although our army fought valiantly at places to last man and last bullet was no match for PLA that just poured in a ratio if I to 11 or more. India suffered many casualties including very brave officers and men who were neglected by the Nehruvian govt all these years. there was no recovery for Nehru and he died in a span of two years shaken ,broken , severely criticised ,mauled everywhere for his failure and image tarnished too. demands came up for his dismissal too.He lived in fools paradise of Gandhian philosophy of non violence and universal brotherhood that our neighbours never accepted.he was living in false world of his own till light was extinguished in his once distinguished life for his failures. the Nobel peace prize also turned its face away from him. Of course he had self declared Bharat Ratna.58 years are over since 1962 war was fought and goofed up by the politicians and the coterie. But the official report compiled by brooks and PsBhagat is still kept classified. Some portion reportedly part I was publicised by Australian journalist Maxwell some time ago and the govt withdrew it. But by the time , many might have downloaded the contents. part II of the report contents are not revealed. it us learnt that it contained memos office orders, instructions, notes, minutes of meetings etc and nothing much is useful. it is learnt that the leaked contents by maxwell have critically found failures in administration. Leadership at different levels including civil and military officials.Probably ,the govt feels that the remarks of castigation from the report would not be in the interest of the country and hence the report is with held. it is akin to classified files of Netajis disappearance.But the report should be made open to public to reveal how politics and parties and leaders played havoc with security of the country. to remain in power armed forces were systematically let down by the Nehruvian govt causing greatest humiliation to this nation.Even now The govt gave orders to field commanders to fire only after troops at Galwan valley had to resort to unarmed combat and fought with sticks stones and rods etc.PLA. Was well prepared by spiked wooden clubs, iron pickets with with nailed wire would around.we lost twenty brave men including the commanding officer of 16 Bihar REGT in the night scuffle.The finger points to failure of higher leadership. situation us grim and continues to be grim. There are many round pegs in square hols throughout the chain of command and the guilty for the failures must be punished. On the whole we are same as we were. Sad state indeed.
Lessons have not been learnt yet inspite of fighting three to four wars. recent Chinese India confrontation was the outcome of failure of intelligence agencies to keep watch at the borders.Now it s fully known that concerned persons literally slept while PLA occupied ares in our jurisdiction after crossing LAc , even built structures for defence and strengthened themselves. They also moved heavy equipment liketanks and heavy calibre artillery guns. This later resulted in serious hand to Gand combat at Galwan valley that saw death of our twenty men including a. Colonel. the field commanders have been negotiating and discussing with PLA commanders that appears to be never ending. as days pass making the Chinese troops to with draw to original positions appears to be extremely difficult. Delaytactics of PLA is resulting in further build up of PLA in terms of troops and heavy equipment in depth areas at different locations for a future serious confrontation leading to war. When do we learn.every time our leaders keep uttering that our borders are safe and we shall not allow an inch of land to fall to enemy. But every time we are at receiving end.sad state of affairs in the country indeed.
