I entirely agree with the frank views of Anil Swarup. I have always held that not only the retired civil servants and judges should not ask or lobby for post retirement jobs-those who lobby for positions while in service or later should be disqualified for holding such positions. Suitable persons in service or later should accept positions only on being invited with honour. As one who never asked for posting a place or position while in service and also as one who even declined to accept offers for positions even after retirement, I can say the only way of restoring credibility and trust of the people is by making all such appointments transparent. The ideal way is the transparent method what is being followed in USA for appointments to high offices.-Once appointed by such a transparent and objective process they will enjoy the trust and respect of all political parties and the public at large. Otherwise by the present secret and arbitrary method of appointments, even the right decisions taken by personalities of great integrity and credibility, their fairness will continue to be doubted and questioned by adversely affected parties.
At one level, the view seems to be, It doesn’t matter what the world thinks of us, especially on Kashmir. In the British and American newspapers I read on the net, the mood on India has changed. The news stories they carry are preponderantly negative, but they they don’t make stuff up, so they cannot be blamed for it. Editorially, they are now far less favourably inclined. It is not as if anyone in the West does not want India to succeed, quite the converse. 2. Our diplomats are expected to create a better image for the country globally. It is not enough to organise large scale events on Yoga Day and tweet the images. They should be sending candid assessments back home. Hopefully, someone will read their dispatches and act on them.
