Well, if Jane's says so, that must be the last word, right?
But think again Ram. It is also all very RELATIVE. Compared to
who?
Indian armed forces are just poorly managed -- dysfunctional, as
any other Indian undertaking.
They have many excellent people. But they all will tell you the
same story: Poor management and NO management, corruption, ineptitude,
political interference, nepotism and cronyism are only some of the
high-points. Nothing unique actually. All militaries suffer from that.
Unfortunately they usually get a blank check, to squander scarce
resources, at the cost of the general public, purportedly for
defending them from them enemies.
But WHO are those enemies of India? Aren't they MANUFACTURED
ones? Most of them being their own?

hehehe - you must be talking about them days of yore :-)
Things are a tad different these days. I have read some reports from
Jane's Defense analyses (one of the best Defense info sources in the world) which has all praises for India' military and sophistication.
You must be mistaking the Indian military for the B team they usually send to fight militants in Assam :-)

Well, it not just 'drivers' but also in engineering and designers that they would recruit.
The Indian Army has an Engineering Corps and so does the Navy.
*** Come now Ram! Are you serious? Indian Army or Navy or Air Force making USE of engineering skills and abilities? I have good friends in all three of those branches. And I know a lot about the state affairs. They don't need HIGH SKILLS. They need skills to use what they have.
