Dear friend.... What is definition of civilian control over military??? This in no way means control over military by some other govt. servant. This way an IAS officer will be able to exercise control over all three services. Suddenly, he would get too much power that he is not used to handling and hence he will become the biggest threat to our democracy. Thus spirit of the statement “Civilian control over military” will be lost. True civilian control over the military can only be exercised by an elected representative in a democratic setup. This is so because an elected representative has responsibility towards the people who have elected him and that justifies his power. So please don't try to mislead people by talking about civil control and equating it to control by civil servants
