A herring is a fish.
When a herring is preserved by salting and smoking, it turns red and smells.
It's so pungent that it's a great diversion to distract hunting dogs from their trail.
Now, a ‘red herring’ refers to anything that diverts attention from the issue at hand.
The IQ of these officers is the same as their worthiness during their service years- zilch. Wire, Quint, Squint, Print etc are the only platforms where they are able to demonstrate why they were overlooked for promotion in the organisation in the first place.
It’s interesting that people like this Col Asthana, who couldn’t get promoted beyond Colonel in the Army, seem to have such deepest insights about all that’s wrong with it.

VEDAS ARE THE LARGEST AND LONGEST USED LITERATURE FROM THE ANCIENT WORLD. VEDIC LITERATURE OF MANY THOUSANDS OF PAGES COVERS COSMIC KNOWLEDGE, NOT JUST MUNDANE CONCERNS. No invading nomads could produce or preserve such a vast literature. SRI VEDA PURUSHAYA NAMAH!
On August 2, 1980, a convoy from the Logistics Department of the Urumqi Military Region was returning to Xinjiang from the Ngari Prefecture in Tibet after completing a mission to transport military supplies.
While passing through Yecheng County, the personnel spotted four yaks; mistaking them for wild yaks, they shot, skinned, and butchered them.
Local herders witnessed the act and alerted a nearby road maintenance station—the yaks, it turned out, were state-owned property managed by the station. When the convoy later passed the station, the road workers intercepted it.
The soldiers guarding the convoy, believing they were being waylaid by hostile individuals, fired warning shots after the workers began brandishing weapons and smashing vehicles.
In the process, a soldier named Gao Xu accidentally shot and wounded a road worker, Hafiz Abdulla, who subsequently died.

It is learnt that some countries have told Indian diplomats that they “do not want to see large gatherings of Indians being addressed by PM Modi” @Barugaru1
How this govt’s so called claim of personalised diplomacy is actively hurting India.
Ms @SoniaGandhi has written her memoir with a pen dipped not in ink but in Harpic. To acquit convicted Congress leaders of the crimes of the Emergency, the 1984 Sikh genocide and the Godhra train burning is a brazen attempt not only to airbrush history but to scrub it.
