Lieutenant General Manoj Pande has been appointed as the next chief of the Indian Army. The 29th Army chief will be the first officer from the Corps of Engineers to become the Chief of Army Staff succeeding General Manoj Mukund Naravane who is scheduled to complete his 28-month tenure on April 30.


“Government has decided to appoint Lt Gen Manoj Pande as the next chief of army staff,” the defence ministry announced on Monday.

An alumnus of the National Defence Academy, Pande was commissioned into the Corps of Engineers in December 1982. Lt General Manoj Pande commanded an engineer regiment during Operation Parakram in the Pallanwala sector along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. Operation Parakram, the large-scale mobilisation of troops and weapons to the western border, followed the December 2001 terror attack on Parliament that brought India and Pakistan to the brink of war.

In his 39-year military career, Lt General Pande has commanded an engineer brigade in the western theatre, an infantry brigade along LoC, a mountain division in the Ladakh sector and a corps in the northeast. He was the commander-in-chief of the Andaman and Nicobar Command before he took charge of the Eastern Command.

I do wonder how much verbal diarrohea we will need to suffer from this new general ? It seems to be a prerequisite for selection ..

 

[Areesh]

From corps of engineers??

Humm. It would be interesting to know on the scale of Nehru to yogi how much hindutva this guy is. That would help us to further explain his appointment

He is from Nagpur (where RSS headquarter is) so you get the idea.

Mamoj will replace Manoj.
A brahmin will Rrplace a Brahmin.

Looks like a goober


I misread his name and thought it was Machod pande

No matter who will become their army chief, they will continue to respect the constitution. Indian army has a history of not interfering in political affairs which is great. The Indian model of democracy is a true democracy model.

If you believe in Hindutva fascism...

If he lacks battlefield experience, will he be a pushover?

'Fair' vote counting is not the only measure. Their election comission fails to stop hate speech and to protect EVMs. It didn't stop rallys in COVID peak.

True

Minorities particularly Muslims definitely agree with this part of your post

If he lacks battlefield experience, will he be a pushover?

More importantly can he be a good substitute of hindutva in the army after untimely death General Rawat

This would explain why someone from engineering corps was made a COAS

Indian Army selection proccess:

Memo : Hello boys

[TechMan]

Still far behind Pakistan Army where almost every COAS has been an engineer (political)

 

[Dil Pakistan]

He may be appointed being ideologue with RSS and Modi Ji.

Modi lost his top General in helicopter crash. He needs a replacement to carry on the agenda.

 

[SQ8]

One of the most revolutionary USAF chiefs came from the transport branch - so it depends on how well this chief has acumen tailored to change. If he was purely a political appointee then good luck to the IA
