As I was compiling Just The Bare Truth and expressed the intention to publish, there was quite an encouraging response.

Now......................even the guy who was going to order 10 copies appears to have had second thoughts! 

My intention was to contribute whatever I received for the cause of Veterans and provide the account of earnings and contributions.

That's life!


 I am now making a compendium of all the material received so that it is available to those interested in one place.

  4. Sir, the publications will attract readership eventually. It may take a bit of time, but there's every likelihood of the books getting bench marked in a short while.

    Ownership of the books may not exclusively be on an individual basis. Hundreds of services libraries are likely to benefit their members by having the books on their shelves.

  9. Your "draw attention to" comments at the beginning of each chapter make for easier understanding of the contents.

    I am definitely more informed than I was 10 days ago.

    1. Since you have the penchant to be frank and constructive in criticism, please do me the return favour of suggesting improvements for More of the Bare Truth, which is about legal cases, NFU, OROP etc.

  11. Sir,
    I have received my copy and feel that with your kind permission want to send this copy to the PM , since he cries hoarse that he is the keeper of morality and justice. Let him see the treatment being meted out to Veterans. I also intend to send a copy to Gen BC Khanduiri Head of the parliamentary Committee for Defence Matters..
    Regards
    Col Ravi Rao (Retd)

    1. Sir,
      The book is for information, firstly, of Armed Forces personnel - ESM to know how we have not been treated fairly and for the serving to watch out for the sleight of hand practices.

      Please do send it to anyone who you think will read and restore justice.

      A second book - actually a compendium with all the RTI replies not only on Rank Pay but also NFU and legal cases and CGDA - is getting ready.

    2. Sir,
      .1. ordered the book under order number is 52465 and pothy will shortly deliver it to me. The intention behind ordering the book is >>> The savings out of the activity is earmarked for resolving injustice meted out to Veterans.
      .3. I, Would like to directly contribute some money separately for such specific causes. May I know the contact details for such contributions ,to my email id : Latif.ccct @gmail.com
      .4. A SUGGESTION:- The pothi.com online book store, when you reach the payment mode, against net banking you just get the following banks only: Net-Banking: HDFC, J&K Bank, Federal Bank, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank. But if you proceed further ; you get all the banks including SBI for net bank payment.
      Many of us are SBI or other Government bank a/c holders and there is a chance that some of us will stop further process at the first stage . Therefore , Request pothy.com to update their information about net banking BANKS in their first page . Please refer the cutpaste below from pothy.com online shopping site:-
