Cartoon by Dr K Prabhakar Rao

Field Marshall Cariappa  after India became free country addressed troops and said.. Aaj hum muft (given freely at no cost )  ho gaye hain... He should have said Mukt ( freed )ho gaye hain. true. He was weak in Hindi being a Coorgi from Karnataka state. Indian army has been degraded year after year after 1947 by the Govt policies and to day it has come to a level where Ex servicemen have to go on strike to get OROP. Although FM Cariappa never meant anything, it became true..
