Bureaucrats taking the Nation for a ride?

Respected Veterans,

This is the time for all of us to stand united behind the Chiefs of Army, Air Force and Navy and support them in their confrontation against the malicious Indian bureaucracy.

The Headlines Today, in the News at 1400 Hrs., has exposed the sixty, year old deep routed systematically planned conspiracy against the Defence Forces. (We owe our heartfelt gratitude to Headlines Today, particularly their Defence Reporter, for this daring investigative journalism).

The Defence Secretary has disobeyed the Defence Minister. Before his departure to the USA, the RM had ordered the Defence Secretary to put up the representations made by the Defence to the PMO. Not only did he disobey his orders, but even manipulated his travel plans to the US, so that he is away from India earlier than expected. During his absence, the Defence Secretary pressurised the Defence Chiefs to accept the Pay Commission Recommendation's, as approved by the Cabinet.

The FM, P Chidambaram, had mentioned to the Chiefs, when they met him, that the Defence and Finance Secretaries had misguided him on many issues related to the 6th pay Commission report affecting the Defence Services. Quoting from a Secret Circular, said to have been circulated within the Army, the TV asserted that the Defence Services have no faith in the Bureaucracy of India.

This tragic infamous situation, for the first time in the sixty year old largest Democracy of the world, highlights the deceitful manner by which the bureaucracy has taken over the Ministerial Functions of our government. They will now be prepared to stoop down to any shameful extent to safeguard their supremacy over the Defence Services.

The UPA Government have to be aware of the "Bureaucratic Terrorism" operating right under their nose and take urgent and effective corrective measures, failing which the defence preparedness of India will be adversely affected.

Coached for the Competitive Examinations. IAS selection a farce?

Bureaucratic Terrorism is a serious matter. A critical study of the geneses of the Indian bureaucracy will show that it is a part of the British Colonialism. The ICS officers were the loyal servants of the British. After independence the name ICS became IAS, but there was no other change.

In the free India, they had the freedom to do what they wanted. There was no worthwhile administrative reform. We continue to follow what the Britishers had handed over to us. What the bureaucracy did was to lay a foundation for DISGUISED SLAVERY and enforce it on the people of India.

I have two suggestions:
  • To find solutions to the present crisis. The Government should recall the 6th Pay Commission and ask them to re-examine their recommendations in light of actual data submitted by the Defence. The Commission should invite the representatives of the Defence Services to assist them. The final report should be submitted directly to the RM for approval, before it is allowed to pass through the rest of the process.
  • To Strengthen Indian Democracy through Long Term Reforms. The Government should stop forthwith, direct recruitment to all the All India Services. Evolve a system, through well thought out Administrative Reform, to fill up the positions in All India Services, from the Defence Services. Scientifically select officers and men to the three services. After TEN years of spotless service, they be allowed to appear for competitive examinations for selections to All India Services. Give SIX months of specialised professional training to them. Those selected will shed their uniform and take up the positions assigned to them. We will thus have a team of honest, patriotic, disciplined and brave leaders managing our Motherland.
