[Reader-list] 'Striking AIIMS docs live in a glass house'

[Shuddhabrata Sengupta]

Dear all, especially Pankaj


I am grateful to Pankaj Kaushal for having pointed out to me my error in 
assuming that Brigadiers are senior to Generals. It shows how ignorant I 
am of the protocol and chain of command in the military, something I 
shall promise to recompense for by studying the arcana of the chain of 
command.

In the light of Pankaj's timely correction, I should amend my proposal, 
the 'General' category should be upgraded to the 'Field Marshall', I 
take it, that barring the post of the C-in-C, which happens to be 
reserved for the president of the Republic, one can go no higher. Is 
this true?

yours corrected,

Shuddha
