It is indeed a refreshing site. But why are you only confining to I.A.S. and allied cadre postings. Are other cadres irrelevant. You should senior level posting of other cadres also.

Is Digvijay doing on High Command’s behest?????
Or he feels this way he can please High Command best!!!
 
3 G collections show how much money the Nation lost!!!
And it’s the Nation that has footed Raja’s alleged chori’s cost!!!
 
2 G license allottees paid a pittance and they sold the licenses raking in moolah!
And our dear Mohna on this issue is behaving like a loola (cripple)!!
 
He wants to but cannot take any action against Raja!!
For fear that DMK has the potential to bajao UPA’s band baaja!!
 
Now CVC too has questioned Raja on the 10 million line BSNL order!
A Rs. 4000 crore order without tendering sure on sheer ludicrousness does border!!
 
The 'report card' survey on UPA completing one year in its second stint,
Says inflation is hurting people but UPA has brushed this off like it is lint!! 
 
Now power tariffs are expected to rise!!
A step that many will agree at this stage is unwise!!
 
By the time UPA completes its 5 year term inflation would be touching 30%!!!!
And then to run households by Banks money will be lent!!
 
Mohna maybe capable, efficient and honest but he’s abs hard nosed!!
On ‘giving a helping hand to the Public’ his mind is closed!!
 
In his dictionary one has to pay for what one does use!!
But he forgets we pay for ‘ political abuse’!!
 
By this I mean all the money that Netas make!!!
Actually form our pockets the money they ultimately take!!
 
So we need to be reimbursed in some way!!!!
For all the money that Netas make why should we pay????
 
Paisa paisa karte hai yeh Neta paisa parr marte hai!!
Aur yeh Bhagwan se nahi darte hai!!
 
Even for legit work they demand ‘paise ki lagha doh dheri (pile)’!!
And funny part is ‘ Netaon ko falti hai hera-pheri’!!
 
See Laloo despite what all he has done he’s not ‘paying for his black deeds’!!
A pretty good life he leads!!
 
If allegations are to be believed he’s even ‘eaten’ flood relief!!
They say despite his proud Bihari boasts from his ghoos khori Bihar never got any relief!
 
Confucius says….. why do bad things happen to the good !!
And wonderful things to the bad….. cannot be understood!!

Injustice to CSS
DoPT’s denial of NFSG to the Deputy Secretaries of CSS on the ground that there were no recommendations of the 6th CPC as in the case of CSSS does not meet the eye as the Government deviated from the recommendation of 6th CPC in several cases such as grant of PB-4 to Directors or a separate scale for HAG.
R Sharma
CSS&CSSS
The 6th Pay Commission made many foolish recommendations. One of them is to merge CSS and CSSS. How can a CSS officer take dictations, book and cancel tickets for his boss, escort the Boss to CGHS dispensary, receive and see off the boss and also his wife , maintain the boss's personal bank accounts etc. among other things ? CSSS Officers are called as Personal Assistants and Private Secretaries. What they do is private and personal to the Boss. It is a pity that the VIth Pay Commission could not understand such simple thing.
Benjamin
Merger is necessary
If the CSSS and CSS are not allowed to be merged together with parity in all respects, the problem of acute stagnation in both the cadres will remain as it is. If both the cadres are merged together, more strength will be added and more posts will have to be allocated for promotions.

Unfortunate Brahmin eh? First time I am hearing, Perhaps not even from Brahmins.. Through this mail, I understood that all those who got into services without reservations are efficient and those who got through reservations are not. Well, if that’s the argument, I would say that this intelligent person has not read the great leader Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the architecture of the Indian Constitution, and do not even have any idea about the life of down trodden. Reservations are birth right of the oppressed, the due share this country owes to them.
It is very easy to say that there is no caste or globalisation has mitigated the caste in India or uplifted all Dalits or OBC's. Those who have not seen or experienced caste discrimination , do not see and understand the socio , economic, political, cultural marginalisation will speak like this. I would reverse the comment made by our friend and say that inspite of 60 years of experiment, reservations, caste discrimination has increased in India but not decreased, in this neo-liberalised phase the forms of discrimination have changed but not disappeared.
Well, I request these unfortunate Brahmins or upper castes to leave their professions, status and study and live in SC bastis, wadas, in SC hostels, Government schools, work as sweepers, labourers, scavengers, washermen, barber, butchers, one day the equality may come. Let’s experiment this way for a few years. Why free hostels and schools? Lets live with equality, share everything equal and there is no need to give anything free. First we talk about proportionate representation in all sectors i.e, in politics, administration, judiciary, education etc..
Finally, we don’t mind to forgo reservations if any one can prove that there is no caste discrimination. Till then no one has any right even to speak about it. This is another conspiracy against the community and demoralising and degrading all of us, the working class, the backbone of the society..
I feel, for the so called global people, who comment like this, even if they belong to SC,ST,OBC etc, lets promote them to unfortunate Brahmin or any other caste..they are no more marginalised and cant represent the community and talk about it.

Utilise services of Oriya officers
There are many good Oriya officers outside the states, belonging to the non-IAS cadre. The CM should utilize their services for the betterment of the state. Even good non-oriya officer should be welcomed to such parochially inclined and paranoid Oriya IAS officer'.

Dalit Ka Damadh Kab Banega Rahulji ?
During the last two years Rahul Gandhi is visiting dalit slums, sometime Bill Gate or British Minister accompanies. Has he learnt any thing from Indiraji? Indiraji used to propel SC ST empowerment after visiting slums and villages through interventions at every level of growth. She won the hearts of SC ST. It is known fact that SC ST votes drifted away from congress due to Rao's policies favouring Exclusive Aryan Growth. When Land Lord UF government and Aryan led NDA government pursued fast track Aryan growth, again SC ST returned to UPA. Now having lost hope on reservation in private sector, revival of caste discrimination, lack of capital for entrepreneurship, expensive education, stolen jobs during last 20 years, is swelling enrolment of educated SC ST as soldiers of Maoists. Red corridor is growing and outsmarting police! If religion is opium of masses then caste is methaqalon to masses. Both defeats rational reformation. For SC ST only physical labour under NREGA is a hope!
Since it is not easy to abandon Aryan Growth, Late Dr YS Rajasekhar Reddy's sisters were married to dalits, that led to loyal vote bank across AP. Why not Rahul marries a Dalit girl? When Rahul becomes Dalit ka Damadh, it easy to counter Dalit ki Beti. Mayans predicted 2012 to be end of their rule over the World. At least Rahul can hope to end Maya's rule in 2012!Dalit Bahu is fitting bet for Inclusive growth!

Indian Forest Service is way behind
The Indian Forest Service which has a parity with the Indian Police Service in Service matters like promotions is way behind. An IPS officer of 1989 batch is getting empanelled for the post of IG in GOI, whereas in the MoEF, GoI, 1987, 1989, etc. batches are still AIGs (not even DIGs). Why should the Indian Forest Service then be considered attractive by the youngsters ?

Sick mentality
Only a sick minded person can make such derogatory comments. I suggest he should make serious efforts to get an overall perspective of things. There should also be mechanism to purge such comments unless you wish this site to be patronized only by such people. After all, we do not visit your site to read such shit.

Walking into the classic trap
India is walking into the classic trap set by the Maoists in terms of the doctrine on guerilla warfare enunciated by Chairman Mao. First of all we must not mix up the nomenclature by calling them Naxalites or Miltants etc. This would divert our attention from the theory that underlies the practice of Maoist guerilla warfare. We must also not commit the mistake of not making a clear distinction between tribals and Maoists. There has been much loose talk about lack of development being the cause of tribal insurgency. Experience shows the opposite to have been the case. Where there was economic development there was a collapse of tribal society and a flare up of violence. The Maoists have cleverly latched on this discontent to further their own political cause .Here we have to understand that to Maoists violence has moral sanction in achieving the political goal of overthrowing the state. To say lamely that the Maoists are not listening to me and not giving up violence and why don’t they come for talks etc shows ignorance of Maoist doctrine and that is no excuse. I would urge all concerned in the Union Home Ministry and state governments to surf the web and read Chairman Mao on the Principles of Guerilla Warfare. It is all there on the Internet waiting to be read. Similarly, the men and women in the media ,particularly the noisy talk shows should also read Mao on the Internet before they start chattering. Members of the media should also tour remote tribal areas which are peaceful to try and understand the dilemma of development and its social consequences(mostly disasterous) before delivering snap judgements. There is an old film made by the Smithsonian Institute of America ,called Hawaii which is compulsory viewing for all those who want to understand this problem from the anthropological point. Maos little Red Book is back and how!
