<b>Bridge the troubled waters</b>
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The naval officers deputed to the R&AW did not wish to continue with their deputation because when they were assigned their desks in the Cabinet Secretariat <b>they found to their dismay that they had been placed under officers who were many years their junior in terms of service.

<b>This is symptomatic of a larger malaise: the lack of coordination between organs of the Government of India, that also contributed to the recent Mumbai fiasco. This should not come as a surprise. The GoI is so laissez faire in its approach that it wonât intervene to eliminate inter-agency inequity that can result in crippling dysfunctionality. If you progressively marginalise, downgrade and degrade your own armed forces, you are undermining the security of the State.

Corrupt babus are getting more money and they do nothing other than destroying India, Armed forced who are actually doing something are paid less.
