Actually the comparison IS about Generals and Politicians … i mean everyone knows who wears the “pants” in Pakistan. Forget about last 60+ years of history … just a few years back Pakistan army chief went ahead and got involved in a major invovlement with India … in Kargil … without any orders for the “government” … i cannot think of an incident where an army chief in India has been able to move even a handfull of soldier within India without getting orders … “in triplicate” as babus love them.
Even now … at the time to Mumbai attack when Zardari had said he would be sending ISI chief to India, he was duly reminded by the army chief as to what he could do and what he could not … so IT IS between the policians and generlas as far as India and Pakistan is concerned. Politicians in Pakistan, unfortunately, don’t have a backbone to stand on their own … fact of life … but let us see what happens in future !!!
