So it hit you where it matters the most. If you are somehow managing to scuttle the spouse pressure, you can not anymore. Maruti Swift Dzire is finally out and what an entry. Most car companies will have to rethink their strategies now (Other wise who will even think of buying Chevrolet UVA or likes when Dzire is tagged at just 4.49 Lakhs (In Delhi, ex showroom price)
Police world over take law into their hands now and then. Our Police is no different. Recent Murder of Delhi's own (fake) encounter specialist ACP R S Rathi has further highlighted the criminal face of policing. ACP rathi was murdered by Property dealer friend in his office with the weapon provided by Rathi himself. Another encounter specialist has figured in good details by crime reporter Neeraj Rajput's blog again a rathi (This time S S). In thsi detailed post Neeraj has given details of Connaught Place Encounter.
How they moved with a definite motive of killing a person and when they got it wrong and an innocent person was killed, they planted a pistol to prove that this Delhi businessman fired first.
Equally intresting is reading this post by Jitendra Dixit. In a very probing work itendra get into the modus operandi of fake encounters. Unveils the police crime nexus. Also the details how these policemen who indulge in encounters are actually criminals themselves going by the mental makeup. Horrifying truths of a democracy.
Ghosts keep returning to bloggers. There are simultaneous strings of incidents occuring here. Important one pertains to Avinash and Anil. It is a vibrant though polemical debate that fringes to get personal. Worth following though. But not evryone likes it especially the people at NDTV so thsy come running spoiling the debate by some simple but dirty tricks. Easiest surely is to comment anonymousy or worse in someone else's name. This time Anil was on the receiving end. So much so that he duly posted a clarification that followed a discussion. Then he posted again suggesting some desperate measures. We can't say much beyond that measures were really unnecessarily desperate and unwanted. Besides measures like lets all of us disallow anonymosu readers to comment are very ambitious as well. It is so because it expects a horrifying undemocratic consensus possible only in Hitler or Stalin's den. I also believe that it must hsve pleased the spoillers that look...how scared these people are. just a few words and we are runing for covers.
Blogger in Draft and Aggregator Setup
Posted by मसिजीवी Labels: aggregators, Blogger, Blogger in draft, post schedulingBloggers always wanted to have the freedom of writing posts and then go to sleep with froodom of post getting published and their chosen time while they are still sleeping. Not a big thing... bloggers in English always had this option atleast in wordpress. But that was never the case for Hindi Bloggers especially for those with blogger. Problem pertains to uniqus nature of hindi blogging where it is dependent on aggregators for readers and not on search. So while scheduling meant time stamp was the desird one but actuaaly the feeds used to get published in real time making it avialable to aggregators even before the chosen time.
Here every Hindi Blogger want their post at 5'o clock in the morning (our version of daylight saving :). Gyandutt finally announces that Blogger in draft has plugged all their bugs and now it is working with Blogvani compatibility. Good News I suppose. So see you, with your post tommarrow sharp at 4.59AM :)
George Bush, will he be out...sure! But Iraq is not the only place occupied by him. Hindi blogs is also one. Story is that no body knows how but all those who had the Hindi Blogs tag at their blogs discovered to their shock that a no non sense I mean business type, photograph of Bush was posted in place of this tag. To some it was really shocking others just didn't mind. But some like I did. I am not a great hater of Bush [Just a mild hater :)] similarly Gyanduttji is not a great lover of US [Just a mild lover :)] but both our blogs have this Bush at their blogs. Now I removed the Hindi Blogs tag altogether. earlier it looked like this
Now the new character on Hindi Blogdom Dilkar Negi consider it a golden opportunity to do some wise thing. Kick Bush out. Hey you don't get to kick the US president that often :)
So every Ram, Shyam and Sohan is following the Negi's advice and throwing Bush out, from their Blogs to begin with.
After so much wait, anxiety and expectation comes the disappointment. Simple arithmetic suggests as Dilip Mandal points out that hike recommended is as low as 1476/- per month and that too is the average. Distribution will obviously be in favor of big officers so the class IV gets as low a hike as 900/- per month. basis of calculation is simple as per CPC recommendation will cost 7975 Cr divide it by 45 lacs employees you get 1476 per month.
वेतन आयोग की रिपोर्ट लागू होने पर औसतन हर कर्मचारी को प्रति माह अतिरिक्त मिलेगी। 1476 रुपए की मासिक औसत बढ़ोतरी पर सरकार और कांग्रेस इतरा रही है और अर्थशास्त्री कह रहे हैं कि मुद्रास्फीति बढ़ जाएगी। इस आंकड़े तक पहुंचने के लिए हिसाब ये जोड़ा गया है कि देश में केंद्र सरकार के 45 लाख कर्मचारी हैं और वेतन आयोग का कहना है कि रिपोर्ट लागू करने पर इस साल 7975 करोड़ रुपए से कुछ ज्यादा का अतिरिक्त बोझ पड़ेगा।
And with this meager raise you are raising the issue of inflation.
Its been a aggregator centered growth for blogging all through so registration to the Narad was always an issue that mattered. The registration thing has now reached another dimension. Aggregators are complaining that they just cant handle the numbers now. Obvious victims are new blogger.
Take the example of Faltu and Nadeem, getting warm welcome otherwise are just can't get registered at Blogvani. They decided to adopt the method that works...Just push post with Blogvani in title, so they did it.
क्या कहूं ब्लोग्गिंग शुरू की और अपने चिट्ठे को चिट्ठाजगत पर दर्ज भी कर लिया और नारद पर तो इसकी ज़रूरत नही पड़ती तो वहाँ तो कोई मुश्किल होने का सवाल ही पैदा नही होता। मगर ब्लोग्वानी पर ये दर्ज ही नही हो पा रहा है....
Just for the record the new blog that failed to get registration so far is
http://www.mintu2faltu.blogspot.com/
This is a news that falls into the category of rising graph. More and more techies find themselve at losing end when it comes to managing codes of their life. This brilliant techie Amit Budhiraja from Infosys could not do nice scripting of her life. Smothered his wife Rinku Sachdeva ususal suspicion of extra marital affairs. It all resulted in murder of Rinku and then suicide by Amit.
Amit's friends said he was 'an intelligent bloke' they ever come across.
![]()
"He was very intelligent. Amit would use network sniffers to peep into what was happening in others' desktops," recalled a friend, who came to St John's Hospital.
"People used to be very careful of their computer security as they knew that there was a 'Peeping Tom' monitoring their actions. Amit used a software called Iris to replicate what was displayed on a desktop," the friends added.
I find this sorry but understandable. I can also understand why this murder cum suicide is inviting so much of the intrerst in US and executives here. Wake up you geeks!!!

For a bottomline blogger like me it was a mateer of getting the news right and I am happy that I did. This blog carried the breaking news on 20th morning that report is out and these are the details. Apart from the mail today news I had some more friends in corridors who confirmed the details but no other newspaper or site carried the Item. Then I wrote that confusion indicating posts and now see everyone knows that news i broke was damn right.
Hey I just wish that I were a channel reporter instaed of bread and butter Hindi master because I broke the news full two days in advance, took full responsibility. i heared that people in aajtak gets hikes for breaking news by 5 min or even less :)
What did I get..a full traffic of pageloads in order of 15oo and above. thank you guys for reading.

True, I mentioned that Hindi blogosphere talks of only cricket when we have to talk on sports. But WWE wrestling is not sports, is it? It is sheer entertainment cntent and nothing else. It is about violence and sex, and we have our share of it. So Deep Jagdeep brings in his Dekha Suna the defeat of Great Khali by Undertaker. I pitty I dont enjoy that kind of stuff but it is one more shade to changing face of us so here it is:
Social networking is the biggest mantra of web. Indian surfers is particular hooks to web for chat, mail, orkut or at most matrimony and dating apart from porn. Hindi Bloggers are truely common of these traits. So it is quite obvious to to look at these aspects when you take up big responsibility of sending traffic to blogs. Yes aggregators should try and pick up the opportunity.
I am talking about fusion of Blog Aggregators and Social Networking into one platform. Think of Blogvani as social networking platform where when you click a post you have option of reading the post, sending comments, chat with the blogger concern (if online) or send IM, similar other networking products that can be integrated with this vanilla aggregation. It will be great value addition.
Problem I foresee, One Big Problem: This model has some opportunity for Aggregators to earn some money and that is a dirty word for Maithilyji and Vipul alike. They are looking for vanilla Hindi seva no adulteration whatsoever. But then both the aggregators have some great programmers with them who can work to 'remove' the possibility of earning some bucks here. ha ha ha
I don't Think it will be a regular feature at this blog but reporting Hindi Blogging is what I am supposed to do. So here are Top-10 posts that as per Blogvani are most read (Aaj jyada padhe gaye) on this aggregator.
My pick will be post by Alok Puranik, nice slamming for railways.
Not Much is written on sports entertainment here. Yes there was a huge hue and cry when Hockey team failed the Olympic berth but that is it. There are pieces on this or that odd game. But while Internet world in US and Europe is focusing on Football, Rugby and maybe Tennis. Here Cricket remains the content King. When matches are on you get a lot of coverage including deferred live one from likes of R.C.Mishra But even when there are no matches like now you get views.
Vikram Pratap Singh is analyzing the Harsha Bhogle's comment that Indian Cricket Success is non- cricketing in its nature. India is successful in cricket marketing and other market driven domains but Cricket as a game has not grown in India. Vikram don't agree beyond a point. Yes we are still unpredictable lot in cricketing field but yet better then we are in football, Rugby, Tennis, Hockey, Volleyball, Table Tennis where we are most predictably miserable :(
Uncle Haider and Rasul Mian are new characters on air courtesy Pramod of Azdak. Azdak from the city of Bollywood, not just from that city but from Bollywood itself. So Pramod 'celebrates' 5 years of Iraq invasion with style, sensitivity and talent. It is Pramod's way: The Podcast Way-
Mian Rasul with uncle Haider is spell binding conversation, the melodrama and the Rain. All the ingredients of Masala Presentation.
आज की रात इराक के अलग-अलग हिस्सों में ढेरों कहानियां होंगी.. ढेरों आवाज़ें, तकलीफ़ों के उलझे पुलिंदें होंगे.. जाने कोई उन्हें सुननेवाला होगा या नहीं.. मैं भी नहीं सुन रहा.. बस उजाड़ में किसी कहवाघर का एक ऊलजलूल कल्पनालोक गढ़ रहा हूं.. बेमौसम की बरसात, बेतुका हारमोनियम और कुछ यूं ही मन के उठते जलज़लों का..
Does it help to Translate the title of your post while writing a Blog? Answer is simple YES, it does.
Pramendra and his Mahashakti is Mahakid of the Hindi Blogosphere. When he praised Blogvani in a big mouth manner then Maithily showing humility mentions about the recipes blog that get maximum traffic from search and NOT the aggregator.
आपके ब्लाग पर ब्लागवाणी से अधिक ट्रेफिक आता है ये आंकड़े आपके ब्लाग के आंकड़े हो सकते है. सभी पर तो लागू नहीं होंगे.
मेरे परिवार का एक ब्लाग है जो ब्लागवाणी में भी शामिल है पर इस पर ब्लागवाणी कुल ट्रैफिक का पांच प्रतिशत भी नहीं भेजती.
In fact there the Blogvani which otherwise accounts for 80%+ traffic of blogs actually sends only 5% traffic for this blog. The blog by Nisha Madhulika actually has taken several steps to get its search optimized.
One major reason is Title, while Hindi Blogosphere has learnt its way to play with word in title to attract maximum traffic, but usually the tricks are at attracting people from Blogvani to draw attention and not from search. But a simple trick of giving important keywords in English definitely works. Simply translate the title in such a way that it contain some important keyword ensures that when it figures in search result people see keyword in title and some Hindi words as well, this khichdi catches the attention on results and you get traffic. it works for Nisha, it works for me, it should work for you. Catch is you should be ready to spoil the puritan ethics which a sensitive issue with Hindi Blog writing.
While for English and some other languages translation and transliteration on internet means extension of their self, for our Hndi these efforts mean very survival. Hindi Blogs and other site gets very little traffic i.e. less than 10% through search. Therefore when some plugin provides for immediate transliteration into scripts of English (Roman), Gujrati, Marathi, Kannada, Bengali, Oriya, telugu, Punjabi, Malayalam scripts thereby users of these scripts can also read the content. It is also important to note that English is alos one of such language thereby it makes the blog available in roman..So Hindi going Roman now ;) The Girgit is doing just that.
For example My Hindi Blog Masijeevi is converted to indexable or non-indexable content in other indic languages by Girgit, just click any of the following languages:
| B R E A K the Language Barrier - Read in your own script Roman(Eng) Gujarati Bangla Oriya Gurmukhi Telugu Tamil Kannada Malayalam Hindi |
This colorful widget transliterate the content of any indic site and present it in other indic site or English. It is really useful widget and do increase traffic though it is still not clear that whose traffic it is, of the original site or of a new page at Girgit.
That was Girgit from Chitthajagat, if thats the case then can Blogvani be far behind, Cyril of blogvani brings the same product from Blogvani with brandname Indinator ( How do they keep getting such nice domain names...I guess it is the benefit of reaching the prized land earlier) Through Indinator the feminist blog Chokherbali looks like this in Gurmukhi i.e. Punjabi
This is really a Holi feast, a great step forward. Dono hathon mein Laddu, long live the competition.

Pay Commission Report Finally Submitted: Forces get a better deal
But I admit that the confusion still looms large on wether CPC Report is actually submitted to finance ministry or not. Though it is expected that report may be tabled in parliament on Monday. but Isn't it strange that though the Mail Today carried the the news of submission of report but surprisingly no other paper covered it, not only on Friday but even after the mail today coverage this item did not figure on Saturday in HT, Hindu or any other paper. So The question remained where the CPC report is... On Finance Minister PC's table I hope.

Race (Director:Abbas Mastan) is released today. While everybody is is looking for its quality review, but Hindi Blogosphere has just one to offer. Though Hindi blogosphere is trailing on quanitity, thankfully that is not the case with quality. This sole review by ace Hindi Film critic Ajay Brahmatmaj rates this movie as entertaing one though the cast is weak.
लेखक शिराज अहमद ने पटकथा को इतना चुस्त और रहस्यपूर्ण रखा है कि हर सिक्वेंस के बाद शक की सूई किसी और दिशा में घूम जाती है। थ्रिलर फिल्मों का यही आनंद है कि अंत-अंत तक दर्शक असमंजस में रहें। अब्बास मस्तान रेस में दर्शकों का असमंजस बनाए रखते हैं।
सैफ अली खान की निजी जिंदगी में जो भी चल रहा हो, बतौर एक्टर वे ग्रो कर रहे हैं।...:
:
होली के मौके पर अब्बास मस्तान ने दर्शकों को एंटरटेनिंग फिल्म दी है। बस एक ही बात खलती है कि फिल्म के सारे किरदार बुरे स्वभाव के हैं। क्या आज की दुनिया ऐसी ही हो गई है?
So are you going to the screen next door. Till then here is the trailer from Youtube
Not everyone loves Holi. There is very large chunk of people who just hate this festival. Wet colors on skin is not very pleasant touch to them. It is not just the question of touch though. Theoretically holi is all about Toli, that is power. It is a festival where the powerful, muscle-power always wins. This one festival is open struggle, it is a mock war.
When it is further explored in context of countryside we realise Holi takes the real ugly turn. Indian villages are invariable of macho-dabang variety so if Hooli is about powerful humiliating the weak then it translate in villages to dabang cast humiliating the womanfolks and dalits and poor.

Hashiya of Riyaz is a blog that address the margin. He explores in his post the sorry side of this festival. From the experiences of many villages it is established that holi brings humiliation to womanfolks of dalits in villages, therefore they should be allowed to raise their voice against this fesival.
Pay commission finally submitted its report to Finace Minister yesterday. We are tracking this panel since sometime. Earlier Posts
Sixth Pay Commission Report on 20th March
Sixth Pay Commission News is here (as well)
Now the report is out. here is what it look like at mail today:

ARMYCHIEF TO BE PAID MORE THAN CAB SECY
Sixth pay panel recommends 40 per cent salary hike for all
THE JUSTICE B. N. Srikrishna Committee Report on the Sixth Central Pay Commission recommendations, promising a 40 per cent hike for all central government employees, was handed over to the Finance Ministry on Thursday. The report is especially generous to the armed forces. If the recommendations are approved, the service chiefs will draw more than the Cabinet Secretary, with their salary at Rs 1 lakh per month as compared to the Cabinet Secretary, whose salary has been ' fixed' at Rs 80,000 per month. As far as central government employees are concerned, the scales have been reduced from 38 to 16, starting with a group D peon and going up to Cabinet Secretary. The recommendations envisage a running scale up to the rank of director, but from the rank of Joint Secretary up, the pay scales have been fixed. This was earlier true only for secretaries and the cabinet secretary. The pay commission has recommended fixed scales from the level of joint secretary ( Rs 60,000) to the cabinet secretary ( Rs 80,000)
Rakhi sawant is angry...very angry, and why won't she. 134 channels are streaming this wrestling champion day and night. Hot sensation, Rakhi Sawant, who is hot favorite of our favorite blogger, Gyandutt is getting no appropriate slot on TV. In fact she is Off TV. News is that annoyed by this treatment she has decided to challenge The Great Khali on the turf he know...the Wrestling Ring. Pained bhai sahab is bringing this wonderful piece of news. Shiv Kumar is hoping to see hot heart throb in WWF escorts attire. hey that'll be cool.
BTW if you didn't hear Khali ever then here is some information from wiki
Dalip Singh Rana[2] (born August 27, 1972) better known by his ring name The Great Khali, is an Indian professional wrestler, actor and former powerlifter who won Mr. India in 1995 and 1996. He is currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) wrestling on its SmackDown! brand. Before embarking on his professional wrestling career, he was an officer in the Punjab state police.
Singh is a one-time World Heavyweight Champion, and appeared in the film The Longest Yard (2005).
And if by any chance you don't know about Rakhi Sawant, you please go to some dumb page and never you tell anybody that you were here :))
The blog I am discussing today is one I swear by. This is super duper hit of Hindi Blogosphere. It is the chavvani chap by a leading film critic. In this sense chavvani chap is a celebrity blog. In Hindi print, this blogger leads the critic opinion, not getting the due attention in the blogosphere, but still a very respected voice on cinema review and views. I happened to meet the chavvani chap and what a wonderful evening that was. The blog regularly review the upcoming and ongoing Hindi movies.
In his post the chavvani chap slams the new movie 26th July at Barista by director Mohan Sharma. It predicts a down thumb total flop for twenty sixth July... similarly Black and White by Subhash Ghai is equally failure, though thanks to tax sops in Delhi and Maharashtra it may recover some of the investment. The post is a short but sensible insight to the box-office collection of current screenings.
These two failures are good news for otherwise not so good movie Jodha Akbar as it will continue to draw audience this weekend as well. Upcoming movie Race, a thriller by Abbas Mastan is keenly waited.
Can there be relationship between results of State judicial Services, PCS with commodity market of a state. You got be dumb if you can't see a relationship. Recently Madhya Pradesh Judicial Services and Provincial Services Examination results were declared and these pushed the commodity index to roof. Only catch is the commodity is hold you breath...Grooms. Dowry rate for these new appointees (with meager salary of less then 15000/- PM, but then who talk about salary, its oopar ki kamai that matters) are getting 40-50 lacs and even more.
Bhuvnesh in his Hindi Panna keeps its reader engaged on these and other similar issues. He in this post very critically examines the phenomenon and question the integrity of these appointment. Besides raises doubt on Ladali Beti Yojna and Ladali Laxmi Yojna for very underliying premise that girls are burden and are such 'investment' where their is no return.
HindYugm is the collective poetry blog in Hindi. Blog is known for its several initiative including teaching Hindi blogging to all interested. HY does so at its cost and it is really popular initiative. Apart from this e-training, HY is also engaged in Kavya Pallavan and many other competitions. In my post on Hind Yugm I attributed their success to on-off line strategy. In very this effort Pankaj Subeer takes classes for Hindi Gazal to all interested. Radeef and Kafia is taught and its anamolies corrected. This Urdu poetics teaching to Hindi budding poets is really very interesting experiment.
Take the last class of Pankaj. He gave 'Holi' to write on. when everyone on net is frantically searching HOLI Songs, it is very refreshing to see some creating their own, and they are doing it really nice. Take this example-
रंग तुम्हारे प्यार का है भा गया यूँ होली में
अब मजा आता नहीं चंदन-तिलक औ रोली में
पास कुछ भी है नहीं पर ये अमीरी देखिए
दर्द के मोती भरे हैं आज मेरी झोली में
तीर रखते हैं छिपाकर जो जहर के ऐ दोस्तों
हाँ शहद ही है टपकता यार उनकी बोली में
As you will notice the Guru in this post has gone on to explain the thread bare nitty gritties of Radeef Kafia. Its a nice tutorial on Urdu meter , don't miss it.
Holi is all about enthusiasm, colorful enthusiasm. Every Ram, Shyam and Mohan is writing about holi. Wishing, waiting and having fun. Recipes are being served and what not. But fact of the matter remains that still more and more people are searching for holi content. Going by search word Holi figures in following terms:
BTW my best pick from the holi posts of Hindi blogosphere is this one from Tarun, hilarious.
If blogging is talking informal publicly then while Tibet is important, Gaza can be talked about but New Model of cars are a real must. These are the content anchors. But just browse through the Blogvani, the most popular Hindi aggregator, you won't find a single post on this new sedan from Maruti Suzuki. Not that Blogosphere do not talk about cars at all. Sometime it does. Foe example Nano got flush of posts. Besides Nano I do remeber one post by Jitu about his new SUV but that is it. No specialise blogs for cars. I understand that easiest justification from chitthakars will be about class character (We are Hindi guys, we'll talk about farmer suicides only, no cars, no mobiles leave that to english bloggers)
So though Maruti Suzuki launched this new sedan taht will replace Esteem. Hindu reports
"The image of a hatchback and styling of Swift is carried forward to the Sedan. The new car will be available in both petrol and diesel variants," Maruti Suzuki India Ltd Executive Officer (Marketing and Sales) Mayank Pareek told reporters here.
On the pricing of the new car, Pareek declined to share details. However according to the company sources, the petrol variant is expected to be priced between Rs 4.75 to Rs 5 lakh, while the diesel variant would be available for above Rs 5.5 lakh.
But We are still waiting for first post from Hindi bloggers.

Adalat is a definitely a unique Hindi blog that inform its readers about latest and intresting of the legal world, of courts, of judges, of decisions, of non decisions and so on. It is anlysing role of judiciary in day to day life. It does transcend the boundary of nation.
Take today's post for example, Lokesh cite case from Germany. In this case a lorry driver was pronounced not gulity of talking on mobile phone while driving. Argument of the driver was that he was holding mobile close to ear because due to charging, it was hot and he was heating ears to get some releif from pain. Now this is one application of mobile phone that even phone companies did not think of. Now if someone say that such and such latest model of phone is HOT then you know what does it mean :)
As suggested in Hindi Blog for karmcharis, the keenly waited report of Sixth Central Pay commission is due to be submitted by 4th April. But now the sixth pay commission news is that is will be out on 20th March. So day after tomorrow is the de day. It will recommend a meager 20% hike in basic. It is pathetic to sum up.
But as an content watcher of Internet I find sixth pay commission really interesting net phenomenon. There are already communities on Orkut that tracks news and rumors about pay panel. Many segments give their side of sad stories, of discrimination and pathetic working conditions. Take Army officers for example, do you know (I didn't know) that most officers get far poor deal then pan chewing babus secretariat ( These IAS and IPS, who freely go and murder the Shivanis, get most of pay, and pay panels). Kuber at one forum spells-
UPDATE : REPORT IS OUT- SEE THIS POST
ARMY AN OPTION FOR YOUTH?
NO…….. NEVER ……………
WHY?
To get the answer read the lines below very carefully and seriously.
In an organisation where 80 percent of officers get superceded at the service of just 16-17 years It means that 80 percect get no promotion after the age of around 38/39 years and start waiting for retirement till their age is 54 years. Not only this, once they get superceded at the Rank of Lt Col (at the age of 38/39 years) they are forced to stay in the pay scale of 15100—18700.Now in this pay scale they reach at the maximum of this pay scale at the service of just 22 years (it means at the age of 43/44 years).
Now just imagine when this lot of officers interact with young boys in civil do you expect them to give a good image of army? This superceded lot which is increasing every years at the rate of approximately 500/600 will impact much more than any other advertisement campaign by army.
This country is not giving army officers even equal to what any other class one job officer is getting (just forget IAS /IPS for a moment)the calculations in support of this fact is given at the end of this article.
In IMA the first thing is taught is that “WHEN RAPE IS ENEVITABLE ENJOY IT” that is what all army men who are forced to stay in army due various reasons are doing it. No amount of disscussion can bring the realities of army life. Mind you it is worse than your imagination.
If you want to do something for army at least put them equal to other class one job. Do not try to make Brigadier of General just give them the minimum basic pay scale which is being given to any other class one job.
For example in any other class one job all officers who are directly selected and start with the pay scale of 8000 –13500.
100 percent of them achieve the pay scale of 16400—22400 at the service of 15/16 years . At least give this much to army also. At present only 20 percent ( colonel rank)go into that pay scale that too upper limit is just 19350 for them
