I had heard only about the incident between Nehru and Lieutenant General Nathu Singh when the former had spoken about retention of British Officers as the Indian Officers lacked experience, and prompt came the reply from the General, that Nehru took did not have experience of Prime Ministership, hence Prime Minister of England ought to prevail. <br />2. This article gave me a great insight into the General officer, and ancestry, schooling play a major role in character building of the man. In todays era, both have taken a backseat, and no wonder the Defense Forces Officer cadre lack courage, integrity, character of the order desired especially in top rungs.
