Year after year I reading the motivating,
enthusiastic and intelligent statements of Civil Services
toppers stating to serve the society and curb corruption,
but over the years, is there any change in the bureaucratic
environment with the entry of such young enthusiast.
Answer is no. I strongly feel that these young achievers
does not understand the ‘system’ and make
such motivating and idealistic statements of happiness
of entering the elite, glamorous and powerful civil
services. But with time majority of them either land
up disillusioned or are increasingly being sucked
into the whirlpool of corruption, materialism, selfishness,
consumerism, ‘at any cost” approach to
life and under the hypnotizing influence of market
forces, distorted, degenerated and disfigured cultural,
moral, religious, political and social values, that
is why ‘steel’ frame of India is being
transformed into ‘steal’ frame of India.
On the other hand if these idealistic toppers remain
focused on governance they definitely has potential
to make some difference, but unless radical administrative
and political reforms are initialed, nothing much
is expected of them.
