On 14th February 2019, a deadly terrorist attack in Pulwama claimed the lives of 40 CRPF personnel. Their martyrdom shook the nation and played a pivotal role in the political discourse during the 2019 general elections. However, beneath the nationalistic fervor lies a bitter reality — the CRPF martyrs aren’t even officially recognized as “soldiers.” This video dives deep into the structural injustice faced by officers of India’s Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) — including BSF, CRPF, ITBP, SSB, and CISF. Despite working in high-risk conflict zones, maintaining internal security, and ensuring smooth election operations, CAPF officers face limited promotional opportunities. Why? Because top positions in CAPF are dominated by IPS officers on deputation, sidelining the cadre officers who have served in the field for decades.
