The terrible specter of corruption casts a shadow over the Indian Army amidst the regimented columns and steady marches. Over 1,080 incidences of corruption have been reported since 2010, with 1,046 of those cases involving the Indian Army constituting the vast majority. The Indian Military Forces, especially the Army, are rife with corruption and nepotism. Hindutva ideology infiltration of the Indian armed forces is also having a negative impact on Dalits serving in the armed forces, aggravating internal disputes. For Muslims, Christians, and Sikh communities, the fascist BJP government and the Indian army have proven to be the most threatening organizations.
