the steel structure of India has become a rusted iron cage,which needs to be dismantled from its current form and game changing reforms need to be introduced,which holds bureaucracy accountable for the inefficiency and ineffectiveness which have been its hallmarks in India.

The set up to preserve British Imperialism was used well post Independence to further the power of the socialist state.

bureaucracy was the 'bourgeois' of India, which influenced by socialism , believed that they were the 'Mai-Baap' of Indian citizens,who had the onus/ burden of improving the lives of common citizens through welfarism. Similar to White Man's burden,where the white men +
actually never wanted the upliftment of the 'Blacks/ Asians/ Africans' but it was simply a rhetoric to impose their own racial supremacy.
The maai-baap culture led to accumulation of power in the hands of bureaucracy from the streets of Ramgarh to the corridors of Parliament.

Rules,regulations, documentation,

clearnaces,approvals etc were complicated deliberately to ensure that they have the final say .Remember the 'sign of a gazetted officer to attest documents' till NAMO did away with it? A babu sitting somewhere in the secretariat must have thought of this rule to complicate the+
simple process of document submission of even a student, and ensure a marking impact on his mind about the power of that 'Gazetted officer', indoctrination in the minds since start to realise the power of state even in simple form submission to a school or a college.

Rajiv Gandhi had infamously said that when central govt sends 100 paisa,only 15 paisa reaches the needy. Where had the 85 paisa been disappearing since decades if not in the pockets of bureaucrats which was used to fund their own children in the best of American and European+
universities while the govt schools in India struggled to get toilets built while students lined up to get their certificates attested.
While there are just thousands of elected political representatives who can indulge in corruption,there are lakhs of bureaucrats who can do so.

Small companies started floating, the IT sector started blooming. Then followed the Internet revolution,the digital era in 2000s,followed by no of Unicorns, the new Stars of India,Social media icons,the new Biz world,the new billionaires, new authors, new entrepreneurs etc.

The power had started shifting,is still shifting,but the bureaucracy doesnt want to let its grip go so easily,they are accustomed to the 'Maai-baap' culture.

They cannot+
tolerate even an anonymous handle on History getting an upper hand in the eyes of the public,this is the psyche,the grudge which they carry even for months,just because of being questioned. They just cannot accept the fact that some one from citizens can question or challenge+
them, just like rulers of Medieval India who wouldnt like to hear 'no ' for an answer.Even if it means displaying authority on a platform like Twitter where millions can see the brazenness,but none can challenge,only complain.

save one of their own to any extent,reason why none of the corrupt bureaucrats are easily caught for corruption,despite their cuts from Mid day meal scheme to construction of school/hospitals etc. The system has been designed to save them,not to hold them accountable or guilty-
as we assume.
The law and order machinery of a city gets paid to ensure our safety, but just check the status of crime in your own area,and you will realise the dereliction of duty most have been engaging in since long while enjoying the perks and privileges at your own money.+

become a gateway to fame and escape from accountability of the position they hold. Till the rot is not cured,people dont educate themselves,crimes will keep happening blatantly due to police inaction, you will keep crying and running hashtags against police on day 1 and for +
police on day 2 after encounters.
