My father was in armed forces and both self and brother were trained to join the forces. We prepared hard for entrance exams of army school those days. I saw culture in Indian Army changing on our dining table. Later on the conversation changed from joining army to other careers. I agree on the culture perspective quoted here. There are no bad soldiers, only bad generals. Jai Hind

[@SirNehru]

Thanks for the comments.

I know of a Colonel who took action against a Brigadier for mistreating a soldier under his command. The soldier was in tears and his CO, rightly so, was enraged at the sight of it. Needless to say, the Brig almost begged the Colonel to not report the incident but he didn’t budge. Great man. May his tribe increase..

[@riyasingh2729]

Tribe increases? What do you mean

[@SirNehru]

I was reminded of this incident when witnessing the gross violation of MCC by Modi. If Seshan had been the EC, Modi would have been banned from elections for 6 years.

[@i_piyush_23]

correction sir - if Sheshan had had been the EC , no-one would have been dared to violate MCC

[@raysurya2022]

We are lucky to be in the era of Modi. For the first time we have a strong leader. And I don't know what MCC did he violate? U seem to not like the current dispensation which is doing good for the country. Maybe Rahul Gandhi or kejriwal would have been to your liking.🤷

[@anilv3724]

​@@raysurya2022, That clearly doesn't mean that he supports Kejriwal or Rahul Gandhi. India has so many people and yet so few leaders... 1.Can you explain how Modi has made India strong? 2. Why isn't this strong chap visiting Manipur? 3. What about people in Ladakh and their grazing lands seized by China while our PM shamelessly claims there is no encroachment validating the Chinese Territorial claims? 4. If you don't think Modi has violated MCC then don't you think you should read the newspaper, touch some grass?

[@bookno11lr25]

@@anilv3724 Its you who need to touch some grass and smell coffee to realise from S400 to Rafale , Apache to M777 howitzer it is Modi who has been modernising the forces and who can forget 7th pay commission ? Chinese territorial claim is gift of Nehru if you dont know the history you should not be talking about it .

Pretty interesting story. Reminds me of similar incident at Chief Engineer Bhopal Zone at my father's office back in 2013. I am not sure what happened there but was a quarrel between a young Major and experienced Commanding Officer regarding some document signature and the CO actually apologized to that young fellow infront of his office staff. I dont know how common is it now but surely it impacted my young mind when I heard it from my father.

[@SirNehru]

Thanks for sharing.

[@shankarchat]

Col Nehru Sir, the Colonel who arrested the Brigadier was within his rights to do so on suspicion of mental imbalance of the latter but it had to be certified by the Battalion/Regimental Medical Officer as a supporting document.

[@sf_rizvi]

Sir, It was a pleasure hearing you today. 🫡 Remember you very clearly Sir from NDA Wing, Ghorpuri… You are an inspirational leader Sir. Love & Respect you Sir. Warm Regards, S Faisal Rizvi 20994/M/84

[@SirNehru]

Faisal, what a pleasure to connect with you after 1990. NDA Wing was one of the best tenures of my life. I am sure you are doing well. God bless!

[@sundaresankumar4362]

The incident during the briefing of Gen Sundarji by Gen Hanut during brass tacks in connection with the H hr timings needs to be in mind when Gen Hanut stood his ground. Both great soldiers

[@AngryMaverick]

Army had a very good culture ,British Indian Army and its culture is being eroded in the name of indigenization. Now we see there is political ambitions nurtured by officers that they lick the boot of politicians . and their subordinates see this and they too behave like that.

Colonel, Such a pity that you were prevented from becoming the Army Chief. A person like you, is just what the Army required. Who in their right mind wrote you off?? Such a pity you didn't take up the issue in Court. The Army really lost out big time. All the best.

[@SirNehru]

Thanks for the kind words. I am a very ordinary guy. I have got in life what I deserve, like most people. Let us be happy with what we have got. The tangible gains of our lives are just a minor part of what we have. Cheers!

[@kuldipsindhu6352]

Glad I saw this video as I had personal experience of many such incidences of moral uprightness during my 39 year career in the Army & Armoured Corps. Two such instances involved my father, then a Major & Lt Col, where he pulled up the Brigade Cdr for conduct unbecoming his rank. This spinelessness started sometime in the 80s - this Col is right, it is all top down. Other factors are quality of intake of officers from prevailing societal pool - very poor; reward & performance linkage, and play it safe attitude😮

[@SirNehru]

Thanks for the comments, Sir. Our views seem to be convergent.

Several such incidents are there. Someday I will narrate them. We oldies have plenty of memories.

sir i recently appeared for jee exam without preparation and i scored 62 percentile , is there any chance that i would be called for ssb via tech entry?please tell

I have no idea.

​@@SirNehruthank you sir for replying

[@user-dd5kl6ie1r]

Sir i think only a classified psychiatrist can decide who is mentally deranged or not . If that commander used derogatory remarks commanding officer should have expressed his grievences on same platform and i m sure senior command would have intervened and matter sorted out by taking both iron hand...

[@SirNehru]

Please read my reply given to Vivek.

[@sanjitbarman9803]

Sir, that Brigadier Sahaab never ever realised in his entire life that what gonna happened to him after that derogatory statement , he found himself in aphorism 😅…

[@AlphaBravoCharlie777]

That Brigadier wasnt fit to command. How could an officer of his rank degrade a whole unit in front of all of them. That unit could have mutinied. If he wanted to berate them he coulf have done that to the their immediate commanding officer.

[@avinash7003]

How about any mutiny happened in your career?

[@sumeetgouda1426]

Since the past year, I have been following your channel for SSB, but I have noticed that you often take a so-called leftist stance in general. I do not subscribe to any political ideology, but I see a lack of neutrality in you.

[@tksuresh9385]

Col Nehru, I presume you are talking to young aspirants. What are you trying to do ? Showing the forces in poor light? The way you speak, it's apparent you have a grudge against senior officers and taking pangas is the norm in the fauj. Don't quote isolated incidents and show the forces in poor light to suit your narrative. Gentlemen and ladies who are listening to this video, please be under the wrong impression. The man is disgruntled and if you are following his chain of thought, be assured you are not going to make it.

[@ravichandar5426]

Veterans should think before posting all and sundry messages on social media and videos about 'in my time' and 'Army has changed now' and reflect are they really helping in Any way? Do we see any other organisation's veterans denigrating itself like this? Today's soldiers are as committed to the Army's ideals as you were. If you have a slight sense of responsibility kindly delete this video. Utterly irresponsible.

[@sammishak4035]

Sir Indian Army is rich in heritage.. unfortunately the present govt is making it like a state police by too much experiments

[@vivek27789]

Legally it is not correct because the CO is not qualified to diagnose a psychological disorder. It just seems the CO was a insecure emotionally triggered dude himself and couldn't swallow a little over the top abrasive criticism. For all their bravery, guts, heroism and unparalleled courage but one fact is true for Para/ Para SF is that they are big time prima Donna's with "Special" egos just like US Navy Seals. Harsh but true.

[@SirNehru]

The action was absolutely legal. You cannot have expert psychologists available to attend 'Sainik Sammelans'. May I know your credentials which make you comment with such authority.

[@vivek27789]

@@SirNehru With all due respect Colonel... If it was such a proper and legal action and not an emotionally triggered arbitrary decision then why didn't the Divisional Headquarters back the action taken by the Battalion CO instead of forcing him to back down before it became an out of control situation. If honestly we go by this Para Battalion CO's way then quite a significant percentage of formation commanders of Indian Army should have been put under quarter guard for unnecessarily harsh and arrogant dressing downs given to units during Sainik Sammelans. And also you would have had no qualms in openly taking the CO's name if his actions were in total right and not overstepping the boundaries of his given authority.

[@SirNehru]

@@vivek27789 Good comments. I will explain this situation to you with another example. When I commanded my unit, I had a Maj who had good connections with higher ups. His discipline was less than exemplary. Once he was missing from PT parade. I began legal proceedings against him in accordance with DSR. I informed the Brigade Commander about it. He was not much in favor of this action. Within 15 min, I got a call from the GOC (Maj Gen) pleading me not to do so. Conventions get rated above legally correct stuff. I hope you get the point.

[@anilv3724]

​@@vivek27789, see there is a very very thin line you mustn't cross and if you fool around there you will find out soon and this is exactly what happened with Brig.
