WHAT IF THE SOLDIER FAILS ?
DC Pant asks on behalf of the Nation :
Soldiers are called up when every other Agency of the Govt fails. What if the Soldier fails? Whom will the Govt call? Pakistan?
DCP adds
As mentioned in one of the paragraphs, that the sports infrastructure of the Army should be made available to civilians also, rightly so but what about the colossal amount the sports ministry siphons off? Does the government not allocate any funds for development of sports anywhere else? Why don't we have adequate playgrounds for the children of other taxpayers? Who is responsible for it.
Just to remind of a not very old minor incidents before the commonwealth games where one of the bridges collapsed who came to the rescue? Whose efforts and resources were used and who bagged the deal?
Today if we eye the cleanliness, greenery, roads or any other infrastructure of the cantonments then it is because of the good governance within the army which in spite of the meager share of funds maintain it so well. Why not the same everywhere? Who is responsible for the ill governance? Who siphons off the public money?
Similarly if we try to dig out the root cause of insurgency or naxalism, one gets the answer as to who is responsible for it?
How will it end if the apartheid continues? 

Ultimately if it goes beyond everyone else's control who will put a hold to it?
The list could be endless highlighting the good, the bad and the ugly and shall be debated till truth prevails.

  1. Why can't the media highlight all this and compel the Govt and the bureaucracy to introspect and accord honour to the armed forces and their veterans and placing them on a higher pedestal than the babus; that way they will enhance the morale of the men in uniform and the veterans and motivate them to perform even better in defending the nation and its sovereignity. Alas, but the media are more concerned about the governments benovalence towards them!
