There is one song in Tamil , meaning is that ,
“big brother , our village was good and better one , but now a days it is become worst, if i am telling that is shame, but if am telling it become ugliness .”
This is what happening in the case of army officer’s manpower management .
it is high time to inter fare by MOD
if u want to see how indai was ruled by britishers u once visit any army or navy base the example of untouchability and harressment is very shamefull in defence, and these officers alway turn the story saying that suicide was done due to family tenso who in this worlo is not having domastic prob stating that a jawan committed suicide is totally wrong .when he goes to his home he tries to solve all his domastic probs but when he comes back to his unit there is no one to hear him.. Suicides committed in army boundries are 90 percentage due to immoral behaviour of the higher ranks ,they only make stories about the probs of jawan’s family
