Very outdated methods of recruitment and retainment is also another reason. There is no flexibility available for potential officers. If one were to compare US recruitment of officers with Indian, all the problems shine through. Just an example, shortest service obligation (for officers) in the US Army happens to be 3 years, while in India, you have to do either 5 years or choose the forces as your entire career. With long commitments like that, people will hesitate to join.
