If I am not mistaken there is a post of Joint Chief of Staff
which is held by Admiral Sushil Kumar currently. Musharraf holds the
equivalent post in Pakistan (COAS). Also,"Mr." would be an incorrect
appellation for Air Chief Tipnis (he is not a civilian).

When Shivaji Maharaj had to go to Aurangzeb's court after being
"convinced" by Raja Jaysingh to do so as a vassal of Aurangzeb, he also
had to attend the court where the sardars (commanders of army units) get
position according to their importance/seniority. Shivaji was made to
stand in one of the inferior ranks, and taking affront he refused to bow
to the badshah .... and that was a proud thing to do, not just for
Maharashtrians, but all Indians (IMHO).
