Reflections on the Army and its role in troubled times Down a flagstoned corridor in New Delhi’s South Block, which houses the top echelons of Indian government, lies the office of the Chief of Army Staff. Crisply turned-out guards flank a well-worn door. Beyond is a large, spare office that it takes a lifetime of experience to achieve. General Shankar Roychowdhury was installed in the office on 22 November 1994. He took charge at a time of mounting challenges and stretched resources. For while the country was officially at peace, as the account of his years in command is ironically titled, the truth was that the Army was continually on call, as it had been since Independence, in one trouble spot or the other. ‘Nation at peace, Army at war’ reflected more truly the position, as the Army manned tense borders, including a contentious Line of Control in as forbidding a battle zone as Siachen, and countered the proxy war in Jammu and Kashmir and insurgency in the Northeast, besides assisting the civil authorities in law and order situations elsewhere. As General Roychowdhury says with candour, far too often are issues that directly impact on the Army’s efficiency and morale bound up in red tape, or snarled in quibbles over fine points of duties and responsibilities.
