Good write up Selection of Bureaucrats should be based on the knowledge one has about India and Indians. It need not be limited to a person who qualified from abroad. His perception about India is very important. One might have written many books and received many awards from India and abroad. But it should not be the criterion for selection of a person to any coveted post. India has a system evolved over many millenniums. Any change should be in line with this system. We should not try to ape something from some where. Any one who has a feeling that India is a country which is meant to serve other countries should be avoided. There are some people here who think like that. We need some one who worship 'MOTHER INDIA'. Not in words but in deeds. We need someone like Lokamanya Tilak who cried 'Fredom is my birth right'. We need some one who uphold Indian culture and values. We need some one who speaks for India in every forum. We need someone who never spoke the words 'oh these Indians'!! It is true there are people in the corridors of power in Delhi who use these words very often!! Above all he should not work for the sale of India – piece meal including sovereignty and freedom.
