MAIMED BY THE SYSTEM

Maimed by the System authored by Maj Navdeep Singh is an extremely unique work. It is a collection of real life accounts of Indian 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 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 selected published works of the author. The book has been dedicated to India’s Constitutional Courts, especially the Delhi and the Punjab & Haryana High Courts for standing by the men and women in uniform.

The author emphasizes in the prologue that it is hope and triumph that the book embodies, not despair. The author also recognizes that more than the public at large or the establishment, support to such causes has originated from judicial process and the media, both print and electronic.

The book has been published by Shree Ram Law House who are legal publishers established in 1991 and based at Chandigarh. It is a non-commercial project and part of the proceeds shall be used for the welfare of military veterans and widows.

The foreword for the book has been written by Mr Eugene Fidell, the First President of the National Institute of Military Justice of the United States of America.
