#1 I knew the Colonel Ashutosh Sharma, the battalion commander. Met him many times. Played a fine game of chess. Very committed individual. I got the impression of a psyche trying to negotiate the dichotomy of discipline and bravado; trying to do the right thing, and balancing machismo with it.

Very unfortunate.

This skew in the ratios of soldier to tango casualties in India, is a classic feature of the civil-bureaucratic and ministerial hold on the military's acquisitions and rules. It has always been like this. The higher Brass is appointed to preen for the politicals and the grunt has to die for lack of SOTA gear, stuff available even in shithole armouries around the world. Like everything else in India, the military is treated like an idol. It will be worshiped and given lip service, but it must keep its thoughts to itself.
