 Basic Constitutional Questions about Defence Services

THE GREATEST ENEMY OF KNOWLEDGE IS NOT IGNORANCE.
IT IS THE ILLUSION OF KNOWLEDGE!

Do you know the answers to these basic questions about the Defence Services? 

If not, go to the link given right in the end.

1.    What does it mean to be a Commissioned Officer?  Why are Defence Officers “Commissioned Officers” while IAS, IPS, etc. are not?
2.    Why is it that the Supreme Commander of the Defence Forces is the President of India and not the Prime Minister, whereas all other Central Govt Services are under the control of the Prime Minister?
3.    Have you read the Primary and Secondary Roles assigned to the Defence Forces by the Constitution of India? (As a Defence Person, you should remember them!)
4.    In what Article of the Constitution of India are defence personnel permitted to prefix “Title of Ranks”, while civil counterparts cannot prefix any Title?
5.    How are officers in the Defence Forces appointed and how and why does their oath differ from that of a civil servant?

13.    What are the powers of a Commissioned Officer which are not vested with civilian officers?
14.    What does the Constitution say about inter se seniority of defence services and other civilian services such as IAS, IPS, etc.?
15.    Does the Govt have a legal right to downgrade status and compensations of the Defence Forces since they are in power?
