Mr. RK Anand All Set to Launch his Second Book "ASSAULT ON MERIT"


New Delhi, Delhi, India, Thursday, May 24, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- Authoring the most controversial book on Nira Radia, prominent lawyer & politician, Mr. R.K Anand is all set to release his second book "ASSAULT ON MERIT" which speaks of the untold stories of civil-military relations. The book will be released on 25th May at the Hotel Ashok, New Delhi by the Acting Chief of The Army Staff, General V.K. Singh,

Veteran lawyer's first book, "Close Encounter with Nira Radia" did a record selling of 1,50,000 copies in a day's time but got banned later. Thereafter, R.K Anand is showing remarkable zeal & dexterity in taking on the govt. & complaisant bureaucrats in his next book. "ASSAULT ON MERIT" has strung together a series of cases he handled in High Court which clearly demonstrate that unless the political class of this country, backed by complaisant bureaucrats, gets its act together and vigorously desists from sacrificing the merit system and the rules in Army promotions at the altar of favoritism and nepotism, the nation's security will be under continued jeopardy - in the hands of uniformed guardians perhaps less than qualified to hold the posts to which they have been promoted.

These well-documented case histories go to the very heart of the controversy over the date of birth of general V.K Singh, Chief of Army Staff & are a must read for all who wish to understand one of the main causes for the growing trust deficit between India's apolitical armed forces & the politicized bureaucracy.

The book unravels about the Army Generals who were found worthy of promotion and were passed over or retired. These military historians make a strong case that patronage, favoritism and disregard for excellence and the merit system could, perhaps, have been a major cause of a lack of adroit leadership in the senior ranks of the military that led to the disastrous defeat of India at the hands of China. The book has been edited by Mr. Inderjit Badhwar and a special chapter has been added by Mr Kunal Verma.
