What folows is based on a story publ;ished in "The Week" magazine last month
In a nutshell.
1) Gen. V.K.Singh has left the Indian Army in a shambles and unable to fight even a 2 day war with China.
2) He has done this for his personal goals (at the instigation of his family members)
3) He has draped himself in the cloak of a corruption fighter and thereby ensured that no important file for procurement of vital supplies desperately needed by the Army was processed. In fact even files already approved were reopened.
4) The net result is that the majority of SERVING officers are bitterly opposed to CoAS V.K.Singh whereas the veterans (IESM) seems to back him.
In this background (and considering that enough information has emerged from both sides), can we discuss the larger question
A) Is a certain amounty of corruption acceptable to ensure that "things get done" (ie. speed money). ??
