All these guyes who say Govt employes do not work should justify the following:- 1. Why has India not yet been Invaded again? 2. How do trains run, mostly on time to take you to work and for buissness? 3. How come we still have water supply and electricity? 4. How come there are roads? 5. How come we have nuclear weapons and sataillites? 6. How come our money in nationalised banks safe?
It is easy to blame an entire community just because you paid bribe to somebody. But there are a lots and lots of honest Govt Servants who toil at very less pay and provide service. All of our scintiest in ISRo can easely get a job in NASA. Our railways is the biggest network in the world, out Armed Services are envied by the world. Only our own people do not appreciate what they have.
I was a poorly paid officer in the Armed forces and I know what it is to live in a meger pay, in the middle of nowhere, and gathering pennies throughout the life to some how make a house, at a place you can some how afford, even if you do not like the place, or just gazing at shoes you like but not being able to afford it.
I am an Electronics Engineer by profession, and in view of the cost of living, the Pay Rise is very much justified and overdue.
