Why the dominance of the IAS is being questioned ?

A question has arisen on your channel as to why the dominance of the IAS is being questioned by others recruited through the same examination in the same pay scale?

The answer is simple. Why was British rule questioned? Because it was an unfair dominance. There were many arguments the British gave for their rule: The British unified India, prior to them, there was no India, there were many rulers, they built the notion of the Indian empire. They took over from Mughal rule, they were racially superior, Indian were inferior etc. Similar arguments were given to suppress the dalits, though children of the same God. Dalits were discriminated against for centuries. How long can this colonial, casteist model of the IAS dominating over brother officers recruited through the same examination in the same year in the same pay scale continue ? Recruited through the same examination in the same pay scale, yet discriminated against. Why ? If discrimination is due to the difference in rank obtained in the examination, let pay, perks, promotions, empanelment be decided by rank obtained in the examination, why should one service dominate the rest to the extent of excluding everyone of any other service ? Let rank 2 be paid less than rank 1, rank 3 be paid less than rank 2 etc. And let batch seniority be maintained. Why should 2000 batch be superior to 1999 batch? As it is, what is happening is that rank 4 (opted IPS) is held inferior to rank 200 who is 2 batches junior to him!(who got rank 200 and got IAS in a subsequent examination two years later and who was not even selected at any rank the year rank 4 was selected and obtained rank 4). Why ?

Brit legacy

Such crass discrimination is the Brit legacy carried on by Kaala Sahibs.

Few GoI officials have shallow understanding of their job

There are quite a few officers in government of India who have but a shallow understanding of their job, but love to go to town about it! These folk should understand that only being media savvy with a lot of hubris thrown in, without having an in depth understanding of issues, leads nowhere. Most posts at the centre require depth and understanding, unlike the state governments, where only wielding the stick might be enough.

Modi's message is as clear as it can !

PM Modi's message on vigilantes and fakes is as clear as it can get. Law and order is the prime duty of the state and cannot be allowed to wither away. It is hoped that other politicians like Nitish Kumar, Lalu Prasad, Mulayam Singh, Akhilesh Yadav, Mamta Banerjee etc will follow suit and restore law and order in the states they rule.

Raman Pillai

Revisit entire recruitment process

Of course it is time we revisited the entire recruitment process-one exam decides the fate of a candidate for the rest of his/er life. There is no test to ensure continuous growth. Those who get the top most ranks stop evolving-they graduate to the most challenging posts without any eligibility check of mental aptitude or attitude. There may be far more qualified candidates for a post-carry out a transparent fair test and see for yourselves-this country has no dearth of capable and deserving candidates. Begin by selecting the DoP&T Secy from open market!
