I am horrified to know the cadets have such strong regional feelings from these posts. In army cadets should believe in one India concept. How is one going to serve and lead his men until he thinks beyond tripura ,manipur,kashmir,punjab etc.But hats of to their dedication over selecting Defence college over engineering or medical colleges.

There are reasons for having strong regional feelings. Especially if cadets come from not so developed states like Northe east. You missed the essence of what he said. By saying that he wanted to serve in Manipur he meant that he would serve as a role model for Manipuri youths and ensure more and more Manipuris join the forces . Further, ( I hope you are aware of this) by serving in Manipur he indicates his willingness and priority to fight insurgency in Manipur. How shameful it would have been if an young officer says 'I want to serve in Delhi or Mumbai' - these are peace time posts where there is not active insurgency invloved. Dude if you dont understand something fully ask before criticizing. I am proud of young ones who are always willing to serve India

I agree with you Attatar! Cadets have NEITHER regional NOR religious feelings! they serve for the country unselfishly! I am proud to be an Indian and let us strive for the UNITY OF BHARAT
