It is so true even today and we continue to experience it in all sectors be it civil service, judiciary or any responsible position. A good presentation of facts and analysis of situation from a fellow civil servant. Our judiciary is very vibrant and we can hope that justice will eventually prevail but not before the dents which have already been made!

As they are the face of the govt they engender a lot of resentment in people. Despite my education and position in society because I chose not to namedrop my contacts, I know how rudely and dismissively I have been treated by officers for standing up for my rights. If this could happen to me I shudder to think what a villager has to go through.<br />Though Durga's case is an apparent injustice, but whenever an officer is taught a ' lesson' by political masters, they get enough support from the masses. The political class knows this and thus know that they can get away despite the educated people uniting against it.<br />Therefore there is a lesson in this for the officers as well. Please do not treat people with a Mai baap attitude but with dignity.Shukl Pulakranjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09152186787194501381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8425111619721950569.post-35444115274119934132013-08-09T22:33:32.304-07:002013-08-09T22:33:32.304-07:00Very well written indeed. neerja Rajkumar 10th Aug...Very well written indeed. neerja Rajkumar 10th August 2013Neerja Rajkumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894945767614698159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8425111619721950569.post-45252436960627948392013-08-09T05:05:10.977-07:002013-08-09T05:05:10.977-07:00"nations work on systems, not on individuals&..."nations work on systems, not on individuals" - you said it! There are no systems in India and if they are in place, they don't work. Which is why, I say, it is a nation of few 'individuals' and all are their servants. Nothing has changed; we are gulaams of the elite. Naukar ban ke rehna, caste politics mein engaged rehna, hamara baap dada ki aadat hai.
