It is after along time that I sat on the key board to write a post .So here is what I write.

Quo Vadis - Defence Services.Letter to Editor

Sir,

The Defence Services have always enjoyed the trust and esteem of 'aam adami' for its up-rightness, Honesty and Integrity . I am very proud to have belonged to one of the three arms of that Institution.It is therefore with heavy heart and extreme sadness that I read, with increasing frequency, the news of Serving Officers of Defence forces,(CSD & NDA)  being caught taking bribes.Even though it is a cause for sadness , the writing has been on the wall for quite some time . It is a true adage which says "a bad apple spoils the whole basket" . Unfortunately it is our great misfortune that  in case of our Country and the Defence forces ,it is a case of there being only "one good apple in the basket of whole heap of rotten apples" . It is only because of strong moral fiber and value based traditions of the Defence forces that has taken 60 odd years for this rot to set in .This should ring loud , very loud ,warning bells in the corridors of power, in the offices of political parties and the babus to clean up their act and uproot the corruption at the earliest.It is obvious to all the right thinking people unless the babus , the politicians do no clean up their act , Defence Forces can no longer remain unaffected by all pervasive disease of corruption .Godforbid that day when the one of the last bastions of clean image looses public faith . When that day comes even God may not be able to save this country.
