1/n #Nepotism A word associated with Politics & Bollywood. There are organisations where it runs deeper. It’s blasphemy if you talk. Politics & Bollywood identify nepotism with own generations. We have orgs where strange connections make a family. Nepotism is like ambient noise.
2/n #Nepotism Everybody knows nepotism in Think Tanks, Boards of Corporations, NGOs, Academia, Media, Charity Org & how they influence tax, safety, reg, health, edu policies. This is not the nepotism I talk of. This is juvenile. It’s just Money. I really don’t care. There is more
3/n #Nepotism in Government, Bureaucracy, Military and ANY organisation that deals with country, national security, national interests etc. is far more dangerous that commercially motivated nepotism like in Bollywood, Politics etc. This dangerous #Nepotism is not to be spoken.
4/n #Nepotism Today’s state of India is due to this life threatening terminal disease called Nepotism. Congress f62 years, BJP for balance. We are paying today for Nepotism within Congress. We will pay heavily a decade from now for nepotism by BJP. What is common in these 73 yrs?
5/n #Nepotism Only thing common in 73 years are our Armed Forces. What is the state of #NepotismInArmy ? Why are we not producing quality officers any more? Why are the #StarRanks so mediocre?Why are Ranks being used as license to intelligence? Why have ‘Ranks’ become so central?
6/n #Nepotism #NepotismInArmy Why does the news item come that CDS & Leh Corps Commander were blasted by PM? The political class, the executive BLASTING Army Professionals?? It’s NOT about PM. Do not criticise him. INTROSPECT. #NepotismInArmy has completely destroyed leadership.
7/n #Nepotism #NepotismInArmy Have a look around, NOT ONE EX CHIEF matters. No one pays attention to what they say. Except for an odd Retd Lt Gen who writes hard core professional stuff, others don’t matter. Today ONE, JUST ONE, Ajay Shukla, right it wrong, shakes establishment.
8/n #Nepotism #NepotismInArmy Why do Shuklas & Sawhneys prosper? There is no credible military professional world his salt in public domain. We have massive number of Gens, Lt Gens, Maj Gens-all retired & flashing their ranks, tears, language, histrionics BUT not professionalism.
9/n #Nepotism #NepotismInArmy The neo-Military-Professionals use ranks illegally, abuse and threaten Veterans completely disregarding their rank and status, threaten to beat in public AND the creme-de-la-creme of so called military professionals on TV keep silent. Nepotism brews!
10/n #Nepotism #NepotismInArmy In this environment where do you find experts on military matters? Ever wondered with a Chief retiring every 2-3 yrs & an average 25-30 Lt Gens retiring each year, shouldn’t we be asking WHY doesn’t India get absolutely unadulterated military view?
11/n #Nepotism #NepotismInArmy Not one Retired General writes on issues most dear to a soldier. Military conditions, retirement at 36 yrs age, rehabilitation, disabled, OROP, Widows, Grants not reaching veterans & widows, accommodation & hundreds of such issues.Ever wondered WHY?
12/n #Nepotism #NepotismInArmy OR write on MoD Bureaucracy, military precedence, budgeting, equipment, corruption, processes, procedures, officer cadre management, lateral induction etc. Ask any Indian and he says Army is the BEST service. They have never read about challenges.
13/n #Nepotism #NepotismInArmy OR writing about Military Reforms, falling interest of youth, reorganisation of Army, China being Enemy No.1, questioning Political Aim with an aim to prepare plan for military to align with political aim etc. tweet No. 11, 12 & 13 give 100 topics.
14/n #Nepotism #NepotismInArmy Ever read about these? Ever read articles written by the #LimeLightGenerals ? Ever wondered why is military literature so poor in India? Are you not SICK of daily dose of paying homage to martyrs? Is this an industry? Is military about Kargil?
15/n #Nepotism #NepotismInArmy #LimeLightGenerals With so much depth of understanding of national security, do we mean to say that of the 1000 odd Generals and Lt Gens and 2000 plus Maj Gens who have retired since Kargil, we have only this barking and screaming lot seen on TV?
16/n #Nepotism #NepotismInArmy #LimeLightGenerals How many articles has Indian public read about ‘Internal Military Reforms’ so desperately needed? Or policies that push #Nepotism to ridiculous levels? Ever wondered WHY out of 9, 7 people who made it to Lt Gens were from Gorkhas?
17/n #Nepotism #NepotismInArmy #LimeLightGenerals This thread is a sincere attempt to bring @PMOIndia @rajnathsingh to know WHY we don’t produce quality military leaders? We have finest tactical commanders and that’s it. Mation requires military leaders. We do not produce any.
