Summary/Abstract |
The creation of the Department of Military Affairs (DMA) in the Ministry of Defence portends better civil-military cooperation. That India’s civil-military cooperation was in need of structural reform was never doubted. Yet, the implementation of such reform lacked political will, faced bureaucratic resistance, and was stymied by elements within the armed services. Political will has finally expressed itself and taken three major steps: the institution of the posts of Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) and Permanent Chairman Chiefs of Staff Committee (PC-COSC), and the creation of DMA with the CDS as its ex-officio head. Notably, the DMA is expected to have some optimum mix of civil and military domain experts that would work under a military head who is the Principal Military Adviser to the Defence Minister.

Summary/Abstract |
The appointment of a CDS for the Indian Armed Forces is the single most procrastinated decision of the political establishment. From perceived fear of a possible military takeover, to pure government antipathy, to the turf wars between the Services, the issue of CDS has been on the backburner.
The radical changes undertaken by the US to facilitate evolution of Joint Chief of Staff into an institutionalised structure is an excellent case study. The ‘Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defence Reorganisation Act’ of 1986 completely transformed the US Armed Forces. India too had many opportunities where a CDS would have made an impact.

Summary/Abstract |
Self-identification is a vital element in ethnic identity especially in the sense of indigenousness. This concept not only has been of concern for scholars, but also it is recognized as the most important definitive item in international law by such organizations as the UN, the World Bank and the ILO. This article focuses on self-identification of Kurdish ethnic identity by investigating how and to what extent indigeneity is expressed within the discourse on Kurdishness. Although the Kurds commonly are defined as an ethnic minority, the representatives of Turkey’s Kurdish political movement certainly refuse to be identified as such. The claim of pre-existence/indigenousness of the Kurds appears particularly in two levels that include the narrative of being an ‘autochthonous nation’ of Mesopotamia (‘kadim halk' in Turkish). Second, in reference to an agreement between Turks and Kurds during the First World War, Kurds are described as one of the ‘primary components [asli unsur in Turkish] of the Turkish Republic. To explore the concept of indigeneity based on self-identification within the discourse about Kurdishness, this article specifically examines how the Kurdish political movement in Turkey has a significant influence in regional politics and growing grassroots support.
