Dear General,

At the outset, let it be made clear that the prefix "Dear" above has been used only because it is "the core issue" in any letter written in the civilised world. Please don't mistake it for anything else. This fundamentalist Indian (not an Indian fundamentalist) can, you see, never forget the treachery of Kargil and the thousand cuts of jehad.

Then there's your three-in-one status. You may well have liked to be addressed by your presidential status. But considering that you're known to move around in your little country much less in mufti and much more in army uniform bearing all those badges and medals, you, the realist, probably detest being in the sheep's clothing. Hence, this letter's preference for the 'general' tag.
