N2  - This book, written by a senior civil servant, looks at public bureaucracy in India which has ended up serving the narrow interests of patrimonial politics, especially after independence. Concerned with the ignominy of Indian bureaucracy being one of the most corrupt in the world, he says that even rationalization in the form of a merit-based civil service has failed to keep politics out of administration. Tracing the history of public bureaucracies in India, he looks at the causes of the problem and offers possible solutions.
