Why Deliberately Hurt CMR ?

CMR take years to build. Mutual respect between Civil-Military in CMR is an essential ingredient. No one should feel 'uppish'. Indian Constitution sets the 'Civil-Military Marayada' in perspective, silently though. And 'routine practices' strengthen it. Anyone crossing the 'limit' is damaging the Indian Democracy, which has found roots in our country and the CMR as such. Indian Military remains a valuable stakeholder in the Indian Democracy. The Military has 'internalised' democratic values over the years. It stands by it which is amply visible. No one should nourish any doubts.

Indian Judiciary has sensed areas of conflict in 'turf war' between civil-military, and harm it inflicts to the System. It is 'active' to say the least, and makes a 'positive contribution' to the CMR.

It is time that we 'educate' our System widely on nuances of the CMR - responsibility as a citizen of the Democratic India. Civil can always remain in control' without 'downgrading or admonishing publically' it's Military. In all this, India suffers.

Some of the slippages are well documented in a recent Article by General Vijay Oberoi(Retired), Former VCOAS. Pse Click to read Why Deliberately Hurt CMR?
