The young civil servant today is aware of the possibility of getting caught in political cross-fire, the case of Anup Pujari will force them into a dilemma.

With such sophisticated technical resources at their disposal, there is no reason to believe that the Chinese have fallen into such bad times that they would be obliged to use 1950s technology for spying! A contrived hypothesis that balloons are being used because lasers or kinetic weapons could target satellites is simply ridiculous.

It is also the job of a civil servant to protect the interests of the organisation to which he belongs. This may, on occasion, entail some sacrifice on his part. It would not only be ethical on his part to do so but it would also be practically beneficial as it could set an example for others to make similar sacrifices.

Goddess Kushmanda is understood to have created the world with her divine smile. Even the poorest of the poor can worship Goddess Kushmanda. All she needs is love, respect and devotion (a rare commodity these days) from her devotees. These are more valuable to her than the glossy, packaged things that are available in the market.

Civil servants should control violence without waiting for orders from the top. Civil Servants can’t blame politicians for not enforcing the rule of law

Anti-national pseudo-secularist elements have always striven hard to brainwash the Indian Muslims

Civil-Military Fusion (CMF) is essentially the fusion of military and civilian capabilities for optimizing a nation’s comprehensive progress in war and peace.
