So i say
glorified maids.
It is obvious that you are afflicted by the 'grapes are sour' syndrome.
I am not aware what is your profession, but one does observe that the electrifying remorse and being consumed by self pity of being a handmaiden of one's boss and so this superimposing of one's condition to comment on others!
.
I would not be surprised.
I am sure you have not been close to the front ever in your life and so how would you know?
Nor, I take it that you have ever engaged in battle.
And yet, you know what are the duties of the
sahayak in battle!!!!!!!
It appears that some people are walking miracles who know all without experiencing the same and instead bank their profound knowledge on what is called 'old wives tales' to strut around like proud know all peacocks with the plumage in all its glorious splendour!
Sahayaks are trained soldiers who have joined Indian Army to defend their country from enemy not to polish shoes, wash your clothes, shop for your groceries, clean your house and other jobs done by a typical "maid" while peons are just peons, they are no trained personals.
This is just ridiculous and shameful. No self-respectful organisation in 21st century would allow it's trained manpower to be wasted like this, to serve it's Senior Officials. But well it's Indian Army.
I wish you knew the Training Cycle system wherein you would not have indicated your ignorance.
They don't wash (everyone including jawans) have washing machines. Ironing is done by the
dhobi on payment. They don't shop for groceries since the vegetable truck does the rounds daily and ladies are selective on what they buy and their freshness to be left to men who may have no idea, cleaning of the house is not done by a
shayak. It is done by maids employed by the officer.
Wow wow wow !
What about the families of those Sahayak's and Indian Army personals deployed ?
Well i think Officers are just special., no equal-equal in Army.
They live in army areas (family campuses known as family lines) where shops, medical facilities, STD and transport is available within the campus. The gates are manned 24 x7 and at night there is patrolling.
A vegetable truck does the rounds daily.
I would recommend you visit and stay in a military unit and then go tsk tsk!
BTW, JCOs also have
sahayaks. And they are from the ranks!
