The armed forces in India are 'commissioned'officers the civil servants are appointed.The term servant exemplifies their status.Their is no parity between the two hence the chip on the shoulder off the civil servants.Deep down they know exactly where they stand.The armed forces in India report directly to the 'elected'representatives of the people of India.NO LESS NO MORE.THERE IS THERFORE ONCE AGAIN NO COMPARISION POSSIBLE between the two arms of the executive.The armed forces come directly under Acts of Parliament and serve at the pleasure of the President.No civil servant has this status and is therefore subordinate to the armed forces since 1947.Political neglect and obusfaction of the facts by the civil servants has lead to the elected representatives of the people being disinformed of the clear constitutional facts on the ground.This has led to the author of this article writing poppycock without stating the correct legal position on the ground.Furthermore he has not got the courage to write his name as the author of this piece.In 169 districts of this country the civil servants have run away from their posts and there is no rule of law.In these times they remember the army/navy/airforce.WHY?Kindly explain first why you all have deserted the people of this country.Status comes with responsibility and service to the nation,which must be first each and every time even beyond personal comfort.When you have honour and are not deserters then you will be granted status by the people of India.In Bihar &Assam recently during the floods all DM's deserted their posts &finally when the army/navy/airforce were asked to step in as per aid to civil power rules the young officers were informed by the suffering masses how they had been left helpless by the 'civil servants'who had packed their belongings and run away with their families.SHAME ON YOU &ALL OF THEM MUST BE SUMMARILY DISMISSED FROM SERVICE.In China not one man left his post during the earthquakes!Think,ponder why.
