A distinguished historian once said, great civilisations do not die,
but they can commit suicide. India, a nation and a civilisation,
seems bent on taking this perilous path to ruin. Nothing else can
explain the morbid determination with which the ruling Congress-led
dispensation has set out to humiliate and destroy the Indian Army,
the most vital institution for the country's defence and security in
an increasingly turbulent age.

Pig-headed acts of omission and commission by a few individuals
concerned only with their petty egos and illicit calculations of gain
or prestige are playing with the honour of the Army Chief, the
nation's preeminent soldier and an officer of sterling quality.

The entirely contrived controversy over the date of birth of Gen.
Vijay Kumar Singh is little more than a clerical error that a
previous Army Chief decided to exploit to create a 'line of
succession' of his choice -- though he had no legal or moral right to
create such a chain of succession. The issue should have been sorted
out by his successor, but he was upset over the current incumbent's
non-compromising attitude towards corruption in the ranks!

That is why the issue finally landed in the corridors of the Ministry
of Defence, which promptly proceeded to make a hash of it. Babus
without accountability or conscience stirred the pot, but Defence
Minister A. K. Anthony -- who did nothing and passed the buck around
to colleagues Pranab Mukherjee, P. Chidambaram and Salman Khurshid
among others -- took the cake when he told the media that the issue
was the creation of the Indian Army itself!

What for is he a Minister if he cannot untangle a non-binding error
in a form, and reconcile the same with a wealth of legal
documentation?

Certainly Mr. Anthony must take full responsibility for the sudden
receipt of an undated letter by Army Headquarters on 23 Jan 2012,
from the Ministry of Defence.

The letter is blatantly illegal, bad in law and intent, and is
doubtless ab initio void. It is a hasty and clumsy attempt to 'fix'
the legal record in favour of the Government, now that the General's
petition is being heard by the Supreme Court on Friday, 3 February
2012.

Had the Union Law Ministry, or even the unimpressive Attorney General
been consulted, they would have warned about the perils of sub-
judice. But whom the gods destroy, the first drive mad...

About the terrorist Goon Squad:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
As everyone knows, a goon is a bully or thug who terrorizes or tries
to do away with opposition.

"Myself, Mallu. Yourself?" (V. Bhattathiri) <KalluMallu...@gmail.com>
tries his best to be a bully -- telling others what and when to post,
where to post and where not to post, deliberately publishing lies
about others, stalking and abusing them with hate speech -- but fails
miserably. He is really stressed out, and like his lap dog Prem
Thomas (who currently posts as "P. Rajah" <u...@this.com>, and issues
*death threats* to people), is priming himself for conditions such as
stroke and heart disease. Others in the Goon Squad include
Dayashankar M. Joshi "DMJoshi" <josh...@gmail.com> who displays
unquestioning obedience to Goon Squad thugs, and the instigator who
posts as "Bholu" <bh...@hotmail.com>
