*** Absolutely! > What do you think of the fact that India has >maintained the ICS model for today's IAS? *** This has many components. One being the inability to analyze, pinpoint and resolve problems. Another being afraid of change. Yet another being the inability to forge "national" unity among a grossly fractured polity to muster the political will to spearhead change. Add to that the defective electoral system that prevents people who are able and have integrity to enter the political process; garbage-in-garbage out process. And we can't downplay the fact of the people's lack of information, dis-information and ignorance of what constitutes democracy and how it is supposed to function as a government. There may be more.
