Indian Army-What a Shame ?

Indian Army-What a Shame ?
13- June-2009
News paper headlines as below:
Railways will post special posse of RPF personnel in trains frequented by Army Jawans, a list of trains for regular posting of the Posse is given then it is further revealed that if ten or more Army-men are found to be traveling in any one coach of any train the Special RPF Posse will be rushed and posted in that bogie.
According to the News report, there were about hundred cases of Molestation of Women passengers, by Army personnel, reported (at-least ten times that number must have gone un reported) at Kanpur Central Station alone during the last year.
The present decision was taken after the incident of two days ago when a Army Jawan, tried to drag a Canadian girl to the toilet, to rape her, he tore off all her clothes, fellow passengers saved her (had the Coach contained more army personnel than there actually were, chances are, that she would have been Gang raped by them and some of the fellow passengers too in all probability. She kept on crying the whole night, complained to the T.T, who sent the GRP escort, who ran away then after about fourteen hours , a few RPF Personnel caught hold of the Culprit and handed him to the G.R.P in Kanpur.
So many accolades are showered on the Army men like they lay down their lives etc etc for the Country but do not forget that there are hundred times more people, willing to be in their shoes, for lesser pay even, it is all because of the huge unemployment problem in the Country that the Army is able to recruit so many Jawans, in Recruitment process alone, hundreds die due to the huge crowd and resultant stampedes etc.
How ever when it comes to the Officers, up to the Major level, there is no parallel to the Indian Army Officers. It seems that the Jawans minus the control of these Officers are just a unruly Mob and that too in a Country, which almost worships them. I have never ever in my life ever seen any citizen showing disrespect to the Army-men. However if ever you are forced by circumstances to board a Railway Compartment, Monopolized by them, prepare yourself for a harrowing experience, you are at best a enemy for them in the coach.
Shame Shame.
