Could not find an appropriate thread so posting it here:
After getting freedom, a meeting was organized to select the first
General of Indian Army. Jawahar Lal Nehru was heading that meeting.
Leaders and Army officers were discussing to whom this responsibility
should be given.

In between the discussion Nehru said, "I think we should appoint a
British officer as a General of Indian Army as we don't have enough
experience to lead the same."Everybody supported Nehru because if the
PM was suggesting something, how can they not agree?

But one of the army officers abruptly said, "I have a point, sir."

Nehru said, "Yes, gentleman. You are free to speak."

He said ,"You see, sir, we don't have enough experience to lead a
nation too, so shouldn't we appoint a British person as first PM of
India?"

The meeting hall suddenly went quiet.

Then, Nehru said, "Are you ready to be the first General of Indian
Army? He got a golden chance to accept the offer but he refused the
same and said, "Sir, we have a very talented army officer, my senior,
Lt Gen Cariappa, who is the most deserving among us."

The army officer who raised his voice against the PM was Lt. General
Nathu Singh Rathore, the first Lt General of the Indian Army.


If only a few hundred of Selfless leaders come forward, they can
change the image of Armed Forces.
Jai Hind.......jay rajputana

General V K Singh named Lt. General Nathu Singh Rathore as "fearless nationalist". Jai Rajputana.

The last good US President was Eisenhower.

The last good US President was Eisenhower.

Obama is a great president his achievements are not bought to light because of the Republican propaganda machine, not to mention there has never been a president in the history of the US that had to face so much open disrespect. I am sure that history will say that even though Obama was the first African American president there is still a lot of racism in America and quite a lot in the Republican party...
