1/n #VeteranAndWidowDIAV DIRECTORATE OF INDIAN ARMY VETERANS -An org created to look after Army Widows and Veterans.@adgpi Is it true that DIAV retains 7% of all donations it receives for Widows & Veterans? If yes, for what purpose? If no, a rebuttal should be issued immediately
2/n #VeteranAndWidowDIAV I will be doing a thread shortly covering JUST one aspect. DIAV has published a document for public consumption that covers benefits to Widows and Veterans. Often civilians tell me that they don’t understand anything. I will go page by page and explain.
3/n #VeteranAndWidowDIAV DIAV HANDBOOK 2020, 22 pages. I will take you through each page & each line. Never forget, this handbook compiles everything the Central Govt or MoD offers. Just understand. I promise surprises. Image
4/n #VeteranAndWidowDIAV Before you read further I recommend you read 👉🏻#VeteranOrOrphan

that tells you how old this veteran is, how many years before he turns 60 and how his own leaders have let him down.

1/ Picture on the left is how I sat cross legged from 2012 till today. Picture on the right how I sat cross legged today. Want to know the struggle and recovery?

-Knees gave up in 2012 after gruelling army career despite retiring as SHAPE-1

-From 10 km walk I came down to 500m

2/
-By 2017 I was taking injections directly administered in my knee joint.

-I could not sit cross legged.

-In Dec 2017 specialists in RR Hospital advised both knee replacements.

-In Jan 2018 I said to hell with doctors and medicines.
3/
-Exactly SIX years of gruelling exercising, cycling, gym, walking, building muscles, stretching of quads, hamstrings, glutes, squats, calf muscles and more.

-I tried to sit cross legged and voila I did it! 11 years of torture! 11 years of pain!

1/ @VishalSri1978 Responding to your tweet on whether India requires women in its Army. @adgpi - I need to assure you that best interests of Army are taken care by you and my views are just my own.
Vishal, I have always felt that women joining Indian Army was always about…
2/ ‘emotional need’ rather than operational need. We don’t need women in Army even today if we keep operational needs in mind. We don’t lack men and even today Agniveer gets tremendous response. Unfortunately women do not join as sepoys in arms and services. Women however join
3/ in officer ranks and academically they are way higher than the male intake. The difference in academics from 10th onwards between men and women is very wide. Women, while are the cream of their batches, the officers on average are just second division or lower.

1/ @somnath1978 Sir, Have you read my 200+ tweets on ‘Counter Insurgency Industry’? You will understand how Insurgency has become an industry for promotions, postings, awards, favours, nepotism and tangible and intangible benefits to Politicians, Army, CAPFs, State Police,
2/ Intelligence agencies, local leadership, terrorists, contractors and practically entire state Govt machinery. It paid to keep the industry alive. At the Centre, Congress wanted exactly this to happen. Everyone was happy. No recommendations EVER to abrogate Art 370 will be found
3/ No one was interested in resolving the CI. It paid to keep it burning. Collectively each organisation would express concern, but within the organisations it was always to find ways to keep it alive. Army, from two divisions pre 90 grew to more than six-seven division worth strength

1/ #PoonchTerrorAttack #VoICE The concept of the ‘War on Third Front’ I frequently write about needs to be understood. Army soldiers are cannon fodder. Five dead, nationalistic euphoria, jingoism and simply carry on with life till next attack takes place.
2/ #PoonchTerrorAttack #VoICE Has anyone got affected other than the five families? Even Army needs to excuse from shedding tears. It has come down to PULWAMA KA BADLA as if it’s a bloody Hindi movie. Those 40 dead in Pulwama have taught no lesson to anyone. People are getting
3/ #PoonchTerrorAttack #VoICE promoted, Corps and Army Commanders are shining brass but NONE can stop the attacks. Reason? It does not sink in strategy deciding brains that we are already in the ‘War on the Third Front’ and we need to immediately get into fighting mode.

1/ #VoICE #SelfPublishing #UnderTheSun I don’t like the tone and tenor of the tweets on recent ‘piracy’ incident by the author of a book written by a veteran. Social Media has been used in a very filthy way and hundreds of veterans with zero understanding of publishing have been
2/ so eloquent in criticising the act, naming and shaming the suspect and painting the author as ‘peedit’ ‘victim’. No Sir. We need to understand publishing field. My book, ‘Under The Sun’ was published on 27 Sep 2022. It is on Amazon and Kindle. I started writing my
3/ ‘self publishing’ journey from Feb 2022 in form of tweets and threads. You will find at least 20 threads that give graphic details of each step of publishing. I shared it real time. I added numerous novel features like printing buyers name on ‘personalised’ copies. Everything
