Time was when army officers were seen as honorable and judges were seen as honest. No longer. A few weeks back the Supreme Court was told that 8 of the 16 former Chief Justices were corrupt. That is a staggering 50% of the top judicial officials in the country. Today we read a story of how a prime plot of land in Colaba, Mumbai which belonged to the army was handed over to a developer to build a multi storey apartment block. Crucial documents proving the land belonged to the army have gone missing from army offices in Mumbai and Pune. Former army chiefs, NC Vij and Deepak Kapur have been given apartments in the building as have several admirals, generals, politicians and top civil servants. Presumably to make a profit, after gifting so many apartments, the developer has increased the height of the building to 100 meters to accommodate 31 storeys when the permitted height is only 30 meters. Army officers get huge pensions, cheap groceries and booze at army canteens and free top quality healthcare for life, something that we can only dream about and yet their greed is bottomless. Meanwhile Rs. 3.8 billion have been stolen in Andhra Pradesh in the name of fee reimbursement at colleges which do not exist. No doubt criminal politicians and thieving civil servants will be right at the center of the scam. Rajasthan, Karnataka and Maharashtra are allowing criminals to operate illegal mines and thus loot the nations resources. It is a wonder that India still exists when our enemies within are so much more dangerous than enemies outside.
