| Summary/Abstract |
The Indian acquisition canvas in these times is exemplified more by its failings than its accomplishments. Two accidents, one of them fatal, involving utility helicopters in February 2015, have yet again brought to the fore the grim reality of the material readiness in the Indian armed forces, the reluctant clients to a sub-optimal acquisition apparatus. Defence capital acquisition the world over, by its very nature, is a highly rigorous, time consuming and resource intensive domain. In India, acquisition involves multifarious directorates in the Service Headquarters, the Acquisition Wing in the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the Department of Defence Production (DDP) embodying India’s burgeoning Military Industrial Complex (MIC). Regrettably, India’s armed forces, despite being the biggest arms importer in the world, endure hollowness of critical military equipment. Multiple high level committees since independence have recommended a slew of acquisition reforms, with little realisation on the ground.1 India’s defence modernisation has often been described as a parochial Army effort without the benefit of strong political direction

| Summary/Abstract |
The erosion in moral values in the armed forces over the past few decades has left India's political and military leadership bewildered and befuddled. No amount of preventive or curative measures appear to be succeeding in arresting this fall, as day after day dawns with news of fresh instances of impropriety and indecorum. This article attempts to examine the issues of morals and ethics as relevant to the profession of soldiering across the time continuum. It dwells further on the probable causes of the erosion of moral values and ethics in the Army. The article suggests certain fundamental approaches towards addressing this complex human issue albeit with immense prudence, as 'sometimes the remedy is more lethal than the disease'.
