Shame to Indian Army

With due respect to all Malayalees,I was forced to make this as my post in my blog..Mohanlal or Lalettan as his die hard fans call him getting the rank as Lt.Colonel in Territorial Army..The regional Malayalam newspapers celebrated this incident.He got this high rank as he worked as an ambassador to make the people aware of the importance and struggles of Indian Army...

  May I ask you a simple question?Are you all not aware that being a military man is a risky job???

Hmmm...my simple question is..was he really eligible to be in this position?With due respect to Lal..he is a good actor ,may be the best actor in his trademark roles such as comedian or a family man or to do with some supernatural roles,though most of his present roles remember us of third grade Telugu films.

 Let it be there.As the grades in Indian Army suggests,Lt.Colonel is a rank above Major and its insignia is Gold national emblem over one gold star.His acting in two movies (Keertichakra and Kurukshetra directed by Major Ravi) made him to be awarded with this rank.This stuff is a real demoralising to Indian Army.An actor getting this award without any efforts.Today in Malayala Manorama (A regional newspaper from Kerala) an application to apply for this post.So it is very clear that any person who holds a degree with a profession,may be a government or public staff or a businessman could be able to apply for the post.So this is not a high award.But in my opinion,Lal is not eligible to be granted with this award.Even I doubts whether he is having enough time to get into the training sessions as prescribed in the application forum.But his fans celebrated the day.

 Then I remember a small joke seen in forwarded mails I got.If Lal gets Lt.Colonel rank for his acting,then Mammootty(CBI series) should be granted with the post of a CBI officer,Suresh Gopi for his Police roles should be at least a Commissioner of Police,and T G Ravi should be punished for raping ladies in his villain roles...Yes,it's true..Is there anything great which Lal did for his country??While shooting for Kurukshetra,he was protected by our own soldier brothers and for acting as Major Mahadevan,he got his money for acting.

 Every single soldier had to face lots of hardships to save their nation from intruders.But did Lal had done anything like that for his counter??Unless  he fights for the nation,this honouring is a real cramp.Politicians,actors and artists often gets awarded with Hy.Doctorate from Universities for their excellence in their respective fields.Even the integrity of such things are under scrutiny,Lal is being awarded with this rank.

 If the government has any such idea..give it to Suneil Shetty or Vijayakanth M L A (Captain as he often called).As they did more films than him as a military man or to the whole actors of Border or LoC.But this rank is a real shameful thing to the whole Indian Army.Lal being a businessman outside India,in places like Dubai and a highly paid Malayalam actor,what did he done to the country??

 These questions often comes in the minds of Indians.Kapil Dev is a Legend as he obtained the first World Cup for India.So he was awarded.BUt with Lal,do he have the real qualification to be awarded so??This will drain down theself - confidence of Indian Soldiers as a person like getting this rank.Is this a child -game to be honoured with such a high rank??This might create a reverse attitude in Indian soldiers who are toiling hard for the protection of their country.They are working hard forgetting their lives and being honoured after their death.

 Looking at the physical stature of Lal,he is really unfit even to do the role of a soldier in a movie with his big bad belly and short size.Where in the world would we see a Colonel with such a big belly(before retirement)???You can not find such a person.Most of his die hard fans loves him without any senses.So they are celebrating this event>Hey fans,be an Indian first and then celebrate this.I was irritated with the thing that most of the regional TV channels celebrating this as a historical event.Hey,believe me..many actors performed better than this as Army men in many films.So there is nothing to enjoy rather than being shame on you LAL fans.Lal fans thing that there is just drought after him.

 AK Antony presented him with this rank.AKA is the defence minister of India.I didn't expect him to behave like this.It is not fair awarding actors,politicians etc. with doctorates or Army ranks.This is a real shame to the nation.So as an Indian one should protest against it..Otherwise,our Army men would be fed up of this ugly system and a day is not far away from us losing to our enemy countries.

 A Gossip:-Heard some people telling that it was Major Ravi's cheap publicity stunt that helped Lal bag this rank...Only God knows the truth.....
