India's civil-military ties worsening?
When Air Chief Marshal NAK Browne, the country's most senior military leader, recently wrote to defence minister AK Antony to demand "full representation" for the armed forces in the new central pay commission, it was couched in extremely polite language.
But the underlying message was crystal clear: the forces do not have faith in the civilian dispensation - largely the bureaucracy — to "fully grasp the unique challenges" of military service. And, hence, address long-standing, deep concerns over their eroding "status, parity and equivalence" as compared to their civilian counterparts.

Indian Navy’s dubious safety record
Just 10 months earlier, the naval frigate INS Vindhyagiri collided with a merchant tanker in Mumbai harbour sank. It was the fourth time a warship was completely written off in 23 years. Since 1990, the Indian Navy has lost one warship in peacetime every five years. Since 2004, it has lost one naval combatant every two years. Few global navies have such a dubious record. Five days after the August 14 explosion destroyed INS Sindhurakshak, killing 18 crew members, Defence Minister A.K. Antony told Rajya Sabha that “preliminary probe indicated the blast was due to possible ignition of armament”. Armed with torpedoes and missiles, the submarine was fully fuelled and ready to sail for patrol early next morning.

Does D-gang have moles in naval dock?
The docks continue to be infiltrated by elements from the underworld who were earlier led by one Mohammed Ali, but are now being controlled by one Arifbhai. Ali and Arifbhai belong to the Dawood Ibrahim gang. In fact, this gang has managed to infiltrate even the naval intelligence wing and has some moles there.
The gang’s main business is smuggling of diesel. Large ships bring in diesel from Somalia and park themselves in the international waters. Hi-speed barges owned by the gang then bring in the precious fuel from these ships. The turnover of the smugglers runs into several crores of rupees each month.
