Whenever the think tanks bring in some sweeping changes in the defence matters (eg:Agniveer) I do believe that enough thought has gone into it.
My view is that they should be given a chance to successfully implement the new change. I do trust that they will monitor the implementation and do a course correction if needed.
By calling the idea ‘Utopian’ you have indicated negative optimism.
Thanks for reading and commenting. LIke, I mentioned in the beginning, everyone is likely to have an opinion on the subject and i have expressed cautious optimism based on failings of human behaviour. Thank you again.
Will uniform code affect the thousands of sahayaks of 1,2,3 & 4 Star generals too? Or will they still be in their regimental uniform, reminding Generals of their background, each day?
Changing the carton might not improve quality of product inside.
Thanks for your comments. I feel it may not be wise to get a different issue in the current one, it would only compromise the debate. still you are entitled to your views and how to express them. Thank you again
Foreign armies are not a parameter, agreed, but I'd just like to share a marginal custom of the French Foreign Legion.
An officer posted to a Legion battalion only wears its buttons and insignia on a standard French uniform. When he is posted out, he continues to have the oddity of a single Legion button on his uniform.
Unless we were visiting a French army unit, or an officer from the armée française was visiting us (and we were known for our hospitality), we never saluted!

A real pleasure to read such a balanced piece.

You are magnanimous as ever. I thank you for putting us wise on the foreign legion tradition.
My respects to you: another tidbit.
