With all due respect to your mental tendencies let me englighten you on the facts that seem to your as retarted logic.<br /><br />Fact one: Lets talk about a lieutanant. clearing a cdc makes an individual eligible for a lieutanant directly, no tenure required. Now look at the benefits associated to that post. Social security, medical, old age benefits, housing, childrens education, insurance, quota for jobs even after leaving army, internal exams to shift to banking and other services , 5 servants, and above all traning worth lakhs of rupees. All this definitely for a cause that they indeed toil for our country.<br /><br />Now think about a country where only less than 10% people are insured and have security or any sort of benefits to secure their future or support the family. <br /><br />In a country that tops the WHO list of highest number of people sleeping hungry (we have exceedingly superseeded somalia) you feel that our armed forces are the deprived lot.<br /><br />Let me expalin the probablility part. My dearest knight our armed forces does not mean the boder security forces alone, they have three years of withing the city positng and three years of border posting, now lets compare it with war situation that has come up in say time 10 years. And even in case of an incident the acess to immediate free treatement and trained doctors for a soldies in way a 1000 times more than an average mediocre indian ... who is a part of the 80% indian population that dont haev access to basic health eminities. <br /><br />I presume that your thoughts and ideoligies are skewed towards the india that has developed and your are thoroughly ingorning the major lot.<br /><br /><br />So that now I have given your a thought on how your bench marks were not correct againest whom you compared the present state of the soldiers.<br /><br /><br />Now In any walk of life there are ranks and corresponding benefits a cleark cant claim for what a CEO is entailed isnt it ... so a cleark gets what a cleark deserves and a CEO get off course what he deserves.<br /><br /><br />Finally the stability aspect. any defence system may it be in india or any part of the world cannot sustain without economic stability. defense is only a subset of a economically self sustained country. we are already compromising on n number of mandatory social provisions supposedly to be extended to the deserving indians by extravagantly spending on the entire defence system. <br /><br /><br />So kindly have your horizons of your thoughts expanded to a broder visualization of facts and then compare, then definitly you will feel, with what our great country can afford with all its economic, natural and political crunches our forces are better off.<br /><br /><br />Sherin <br />09227797009Sherin Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326357521245276361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-889346968303340197.post-39023168395709447012010-02-11T18:43:31.193+05:302010-02-11T18:43:31.193+05:30Very touching and tragic article, got shock to kno...Very touching and tragic article, got shock to know abt.the compensattion, a solider is getting!!! Indeed there is a large or say huge gap between compensation paid by govt.in Guj. and Haryana as Guj. is more financially and industrially developed.

As usual you come up with your own ...Dear Sherin, <br /><br />As usual you come up with your own twisted logic. I am not talking about any rank in particular. The compensation I mentioned is same across all ranks. An officer gets rank of a Major after around 10 years of service. And what they do for physical security is one of the most important thing. <br /><br />You talk about economic stability of country, but can it come without physical security? And those who ensure our economic stability are paid very handsomely. Don't you agree on that.<br /><br />As far as scientists are concerned, they have safety procedures and equipment to ensure that they are protected from radiations and all. They do not run around carrying radioactive isotopes in their hands or anything. So please use your head before making such retarded statements.<br /><br />And where did you find the statistics to support your rule of probability. For same sample size, a soldier has higher risk of being shot by insurgent bullet or falling prey to the hostile surroundings.<br /><br />Whether you agree or not, armed forces do not get what they deserve in India. You can believe otherwise, but that is not going to change the reality. Compared to equivalent ranks in other services i.e. IAS/IPS they get a raw deal and thats the truth.<br /><br />What politics and power are you talking about? If Indian armed forces were so involved politics then we would have military dictatorship instead of a democracy. Our neighbour Pakistan is a very good example of that.Vishal Kansagrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05667534245482730301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-889346968303340197.post-68106983473275591272010-02-11T11:53:06.606+05:302010-02-11T11:53:06.606+05:30Hi Vishal:
Indeed a wonderful article and probabl...Hi Vishal:<br /><br />Indeed a wonderful article and probably true for a class in the army. <br /><br />I dont want to sound a non patriotic idiot to you or whom so ever reads my comments but definitely like to express my prespective towards what you have blogged. With all due respect to armed foreces.<br /><br />Correct if I am wrong a major is just a mediocre rank in the forces, have a look at the list of benefits entailed to them and then relook on what you have projected as a pitiable state of sentinals. All cannot be majors but then there is a test for every graduation. Some deserve mental strength and some physical. <br /><br />Why just treat the armed forces as something that defend the country which is actually not in one prespective. You could have considered how all the big business with their policy makes are safeguarding the economic stabiliy of the country. The scientist are dealing with radio active elements risking their lives developing weapons arent they.<br /><br /><br />So some where down the line there is a high degree of involvement by different components of a country. Give credit to forces but not all of it. If you go by the rule of probability at present the risk of army man dying in accident is way to less than a ordinary man on road, or a worker in mining or just be a farmer in india ... serve the country for nothing and still the probablity of suside is what ... 100 %... that was exaagareted ... so i preseume our army is better off... and in a profession that is self choosen and one of higly influenced by power and politics ... i dont feel there are underprevilaged or deprived. they do a great work and they have previlages for that .... <br /><br /><br />Thanks you....Sherin Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326357521245276361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-889346968303340197.post-81222717472117634012010-02-11T10:56:09.590+05:302010-02-11T10:56:09.590+05:30@vishal
