My fourth book, “Maimed by the System” has been released by
General VP Malik (Retd), former Chief of the Army Staff.
The book is a hardcover collection of real life
accounts of defence personnel, military veterans, disabled soldiers and their
kin who were wronged by the system but fought and successfully claimed their
rights and dues. These are unique real stories of such individuals who had to
put up difficult and protracted battles with the officialdom, something they
were clearly unprepared for, to claim their basic rights post disability, post
battle and many posthumously. Besides the stories, the book also contains some
of my selected published works. The book is dedicated to India’s Constitutional
Courts, especially the Delhi and the Punjab & Haryana High Courts for
standing by the men and women in uniform. It is hope and triumph that the book
embodies, not despair. Rather than evoke disdain for the system, the book should
act as a lesson and a mirror for all of us towards a foundation of positivity
and compassion.
The foreword has been penned by Mr Eugene Fidell, the
First President of the National Institute of Military Justice of the United
States of America.
The release ceremony was unlike the usual book releases and the
humbling evening was rendered even more interesting with the informal conversation
and interaction with guests and the media.
Part of the proceeds of this non-commercial project shall be
used for the welfare of disabled soldiers and military widows.

A commendable job done by Major Navdeep Singh! For the last several years, he has been fighting to get justice for numerous aggrieved and hapless veterans, the disabled and widows.included. The book is an effective way of furthering their cause by seeking to sensitise the society and the establishment to their woes. Wishing him continued inspiration to keep up with his efforts!

I am really glad that I bought the book & more important read most of the the book in one sitting yesterday.It was very educative & made me realize that i should have read such a book before becoming CO ,while in service.
ReplyDeleteI have asked the present CO of my unit to buy the book so that he can be be better informed
I also need to share some thing about Maj Navdeep, which made me win two arbitration cases on my own.
When one of my clients cheated me of my dues in 2008,I had called up Maj Navdeep & wanted him to represent me (though it was impractical).How ever he guided me correctly & i hired a so called corporate lawyer.After an year or so i could make out the corporate lawyer is not taking any interest in the case,i terminated his services & fought on my won & won the case (unanimous verdict by the three honorable arbitrators) .I would like to dedicate this victory to Maj Navdeep
Subsequently i initiated another arbitration case against my builder for violating the sale agreement & again after 2 years of battle, won the case .
All this would not have been possible
with out the initial guidance from Maj Navdeep & buying the book is a very small way of showing it & this is a favor i am doing it to myself
Once again a big thanks to Maj Navdeep for the yeoman service to the defence community
DEAR MAJOR SINGH ,
ReplyDeleteMANY HEARTFEALT THANKS FOR THE WONDERFULJOB YOU HAVE DONE FOR THE RETD COMMUNITY . PROBLEMS WILL NOT STOP AND MAY I SUGGEST THAT YOU TRAIN A ARMY OF FEW RETD SERVICE LAWYERS WITH YOU HEADING THE CONSORTIUM SO THAT WHEREVER A NEEDY SOLDER , WIDOW SAILOR OR AIRMAN REQUIRES YOUR SERVICE THEY ARE EASILY AVAILABLE WHETHER JxK , TAMIL NADU , MAHRASTRA OR ASSAM OR ANY WHERE IN INDIA .
