Rising number of suicides among Indian troops has raised alarm bells in the Indian Army Commanders. This clearly depicts the indiscipline and the lack of professionalism among the Indian Army troops.

Apart from the suicide cases the number of internal conflicts between the officers and men of Indian Army have tremendously increased in the recent years.
