this is exactly what the IPS + IAS do not want and they have convinced the politicos not to do it.Prem Kumar wrote:Many in IA, who've seen combat, are pointing out glaring mistakes, both in tactics & organization:

Read especially the last twitter thread by rathrekaran17
He talks about how we need to follow the Brit model of lateral absorption of mid-level, ex-IA officers who have actual combat & tactics experience. Not just as trainers, but in actual mid/senior level roles within CRPF and the Police Forces. Their talents are going waste, thanks to the IPS turf-guarding.6. Every year 50000 highly trained armed forces pers retire at the age of 35-40 as per terms of service. None are laterally absorbed in CAPFs / police. Those who are selected their seniority and pay is NOT protected and they gotta start at the bottom again!!! Why??
If Amit Shah is serious about wiping out Red, he needs to bring in such structural changes. But knowing Modi/Shah's incrementalism, I am betting that this won't happen
It stems from the fear of being shown up while jealously protecting their promotion avenues.
even though they will not acknowledge it, all their traditions, including dress, behavior patterns, and mannerisms right down to the "batman" culture are modeled on the parody of a low IQ, upper class, entitled britshit general of the colonial era.
the continued monumental failures of this "civil services entrance exam" lot since independence, along with their unchanged colonial antecedents as well as the ingrained mandate to serve a master, earlier white and now brown, are the reasons for administrative lethargy and the perpetuation of the thanedar cult and the harsh suppression of the "natives" by the use of fear as a management practice
and to top it all, the icing on the cake, the piece de resistance, as it were, the cops and their IAS pals are unionized.
