@ashwinravi99 We all remember how you saved Infian team from a test match defeat against Bangladesh in Bangladesh by your fourth innings heroics! Great batting! Brought much joy!! Thank you
Let’s talk logic. If an IPS officer is considered an "outsider" in a security force, then every IAS officer is an outsider in the Ministry of Finance, Science & Technology, or Power. If a Band Gala can lead the Ministry of Science & Technology without being a scientist, why is the Khaki labeled an outsider in a security force?
If "years on the ground" were the only criterion for leadership, the oldest sailor would be the Admiral and the longest-serving clerk would be the Cabinet Secretary. Leadership is a specialized skill, not a seniority prize.
The IPS is indispensable because it speaks the languages of the MHA, the Judiciary, and the State Police fluently. Without this bridge, any security ecosystem becomes an island. The IPS ensures that the "boots on the ground" have the strategic, political, and legal cover they need to do their jobs effectively.
This system has been working seamlessly since Day 1 because the IPS Bridge works. It is the strategic glue of our internal security infrastructure. Now, suddenly, there’s a "leadership crisis"? Please. This is an Aspirational Issue, not a Professional one.
Don’t confuse "I want the chair" with "The chair is broken." Our security architecture isn't a career ladder for personal milestones; it’s a shield for 1.4 billion people.
Inter-service camaraderie shouldn't be the collateral damage of a mid-life career crisis. We are here to protect the borders and the streets, not to build personal empires.
Mission over Ego. Always. 🇮🇳

Completely uncool of @barandbench to mention the counsel's name. These things happen every day in courts, any practicing lawyer would know. But not the "reporters", and B&B etc platforms too care more about engagement than reportage.
(Obviously trying to say a minor can consent is not right, legally and morally, but that's besides the point)
