The IAS is the left overs of British Raj and should have been disbanded long back. Sorry honest cadres! They are impediments to development and at the same time enjoy all the British 'style' perks. Most of them are exploited by the politician bosses and unwittingly become part of the nexus of corruption. They do not want any other cadres to rule over them and they feel that they are the bosses instead of them considering themselves as servants of the society. The result is that no intelligent person is able to survive their writ in Govt circles!
