The President of India, once elected, must be referred to as only the President of the Nation. This constant linkage to caste, creed and race denigrates the office of India’s first citizen.

It is a sad day when you realise that you’ve sent troops into harm’s way with not even the ability to open fire in self defence. Even UN peacekeeping Chapter VI rules of engagement permit troops to open fire to protect themselves.

Any military which feels that grooming and preparing youth for the corporate world or other government jobs is part of its mandate, has taken its eye off the ball so to speak, which is solely to select and train youth for the hard task of operational deployments.
