Nehru vs Lt. General Nathu Singh Rathore (Nice one...do not know whether it is true...yet a lesson)... · 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 amongst 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. · That is the Professionalism and Character the Military is made of .................How many today will speak like this??. |
