Are our bureacrats upright?
Durga Nagpal's incident has rigthfully turned sympathies of the citizens against Samajwadi Party and its rogues. There is no doubt she must be absolved of any wrong doing and commended for taking on the sand mafia. She is a rare example of an officer taking on the corrupt political masters. But is her honesty the bench mark for our bureaucracy ?
It is not, we should not forget that most bureaucrats in the country shamelessly suck up to their political masters to further their careers and for self enrichment. (Look at the CVC and CBI cases against them )
If the bureaucracy was so efficient will the country lag so much in all spheres of administration ( education, health care, Infrastructure, name it. We should ask ourselves in what are does our civil services excel, internal administration, foreign affairs etc.
A recent report in media says "Indian bureaucracy is the worst in Asia with a 9.21 rating out of 10, according to a report by a prestigious consulting firm based in Hong Kong."
Our bureacrats are just a powerful union and ensure that their tribe is kept elite. They live off on the taxes of the country and are more show than substance.
Before i close i need to admit that this country has seen many bureacrats who have worked hard to keep us together and protect our public instititions. T.N.Seshan directed our politicans to fall in line, Vinod Rai taught them book keeping, Kiran Bedi refused to bow down, now Durga Nagpal showed the arrogant SP sand miners folks not to cross the line. Hats off to them. The rest of the tribe should fall in line we can develop faster.
