  1. Arrogant, corrupt, self-serving, manipulative lot that will take the politicians for ride if he is weak but lick his boots if he is strong and arrogant totally devoid of self respect is the impression they have created of themselves.
    Undoubtedly they are selected through a very rigaruss process and and an idiot can not get into their ranks but it is the mentality that has no measure.
    They all start well but get pushed into the self created image, either because of the pressure or the greed.

  2. As long as i.a.s. officers are granted fixed period on a post with definite responsibilities and punishment in case of failure .they can not devote themselves to common masses.at present the system makes them servile to their political bosses who are many in number.they know that masss are at their mercy. This is the problems with IAS officers .in other words the politicians are responsible for inefficiency of IAS officers.
