I am amused, dismayed and shocked – in equal measure - at the number of supposedly 'educated' people who believe IAS officers should run the country - and the state – and the ‘people’s representatives’ should have nothing to do with it. They hold people's representatives in utter contempt, derisively refer to them as 'school drop outs' '10th fail' and the like, and believe they should have no role in governance. The founding fathers of our Constitution must be fidgeting vigorously in their graves at this attitude taking root among the people in general and the ‘highly educated’ youth in particular because it’s a complete negation of the essence of democracy and both the letter and spirit of the Constitution we are all so proud of!
