NEW DELHI: Army officers need to inculcate some genuine OLQs (officer-like qualities) and that too quickly. Jawans deployed in counter-insurgency operations in Kashmir and north-east hold that humiliation at the hands of their seniors is what often pushes them over the brink.
“The jawans attributed perceived humiliation and harassment, over and above occupational and familial causes, as the triggering factor which forced them to take such extreme steps,” says the latest study done by the Defence Institute of Psychological Research (DIPR).
