It is official now.

Indian bureaucracy is worst in Asia.

India’s “suffocating bureaucracy” was ranked the least-efficient by the survey, which said working with the country’s civil servants was a “slow and painful” process.

Indian babus have worked hard for last fifty years to achieve this prestigious result. This has not been an easy journey. They have imbibed certain qualities which have become a part of the DNA the of Indian bureaucracy. They have mastered certain skills and qualities which have helped them in achieving this glorious feat.

They are taught not to cooperate with their colleagues and customers. The word ‘trust’ is absent from their dictionary. They are ready to sacrifice work for their daily dose of gossip, household chores and chai-pani. Because of all these qualities their productivity is zero, their engagement with official work is low and they are against any kind of innovation. Lethargy, lack of ownership and speed with which they do their work will put even a snail to shame.

Three cheers for the Indian babus who have achieved this shameful feat for our country. I strongly feel that number of Indians who will be proud of this result should be zero. Sifr. Shunaya.

At least I am not.
