After 1962......

Life is nothing but learning from experience

if not correcting our mistakes but atleast trying to mitigate them next time.This applies to everybody.When we repeat a mistake in school or college, we are reprimanded so bad that we feel as though our life is going to end. When it comes to Corporate ,a mistake done once, sometimes may cost your job even if you are not directly responsible.We are made accountable in each and every sphere of life.

Iam amazed to see that accountability failing when it comes to running the top institutions of the country.The Central Government , well the lesser said the better.It was surprising to see the lack of accountabilty even in a reputed insititution like our respected and " Mighty Military ". We have always had respect for the brave Jawans who put their life on the front in safeguearding out border , but its also painful to know that our military equipments are so obselete and we are lacking far behind in using the latest technology and what keeps our military going is the great will of the personnel involved. There was a recent article about the 1962 China war how we failed to win? and why we failed to win ?and what have we learnt from it?.From the onset , it was a disaster , we were taking on someone who was superior in strategy and also in technology. There was a surprising recent article which said if Airforce was effectively used in 1962 we would have won the war .. !!! so where was the strategy? or who planned the strategy ?..we were taking on the enemy with weapons made in 1932!! Have we learnt something from the 1962 war ?? The answer seems to be an emphatic "NO" . In 1962 the personnel were less and they were armed with 1932 weapons , In 2012 our army is almost a million in strenght but using 1962 weaopns !!! Even an insignificant terrorist outfit seems to have an edge in using latest technologies ...! Useful article from The Hindu "http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/in-dubious-battle-at-heavens-gate/article3992126.ece?homepage=true" All of us, are to remember that there should be an accountability for every " Jawans" Life. We have to wake up and procure arms and ammunitions which can enhance the fighting skills of our brave Jawans and we must remember that they are manning the treachorous border where there are problems on all three fronts . Coast Guard must be updated and enhanced to prevent another MUMBAI style attack. All said and done .. " Will we do it ??" or because of the lacadiscial and lethargic attitude we will still refuse to learn from our Past !
