RE: IAS
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Please help make the Manifesto better, or accept it, and propagate it!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
You guys write funny emails. Like "IAS is there to serve the people". It
shouldnt matter that their wages are low. Then why dont you leave novell or
whatever cushy job you have and serve the people for low wages. "They
forget that their task is to merely server people and implementation of
policies formulated by the people representatives". Ooohh, let me see, they
should implement some ridiculous socialist crap that is Lalu Prasad's
fancy-of-the-day... You cannot attack the IAS when its behaviour is simply
the natural outcome of a socialist system. In fact the IAS people are
definitely of above average capabilities and I am sure they can be reasoned
with when the system is cured (i.e. made less socialist)...

Ah Love, could you and I conspire, To grasp this sorry state of things
entire,
To smash it all into a million bits, And mold it back to heart's desire.
Jab purdah nahi koi khudah seh, to bandhon se purdah kya.
