In the past, Indian Army has been blamed and found guilty of a number of crimes like financial corruption, moral turpitude and involvement in espionage, but recently, a serving Lieutenant Colonel and a couple of retired officers have been arrested for their involvement in major acts of terrorism.

India has been involved in State Terrorism for far too long and its major tool for perpetrating the heinous crimes against its neighbours and its own people has been its law enforcing agencies and its army. India's stratified society based on the caste system has no compassion or respect for lower castes while people of other religions like Muslims, Christians (including foreign missionaries) and Sikhs along with Harijans/Dalits have been routinely massacred by the bigoted upper caste Hindus. Their houses, mosques, gurduwaras and churches have been destroyed by the thousands. Indian-Occupied Kashmir has been virtually under siege and subjected to a reign of terror since 1989, when the Kashmiris Muslims took up arms to seek the freedom promised to them by UN Resolutions but denied for forty-two years by subsequent Indian governments. The reign of terror unleashed by the Indian Army on the hapless Kashmiris failed to subdue their quest for freedom but has had a telling effect on the morale of their tormentors.

The mental health of the Indian Armed Forces, especially those deployed in Jammu and Kashmir has been a cause of major concern to Indian defence planners. There have been numerous cases of suicide, fratricide (enlisted men shooting their own officers) also known as fragging, and multiple mental disorders ranging from depression to stark madness. Massacring innocent Kashmiris and labelling them as terrorists, faking encounters to falsely claim awards and promotions raping, looting and committing arson day after day was bound to take its toll. It was announced in December 2006 by Vice Admiral V K Singh, Director General of the Indian Armed Forces Medical Service, that the army plans to recruit 400 psychiatrists to cope with stress within its ranks that has led to an increase in fratricidal killings and suicides.
