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.

No wonder the current generation doesn't want to be associated with the Indian govt. offices anymore and looking for job opportunities elsewhere.

Our babudom is a mix of a few incredibly efficient guys, some good guys and a vast army of useless parasites. How to get rid of them - the only way would be to limit what governments do. They are in a number of areas where they have no business being in.

Adesh- In my opinion, this is one of the best pieces u have written.. This said, coming to the actual post, it pains me to see the way things function in India, and how its the 'we are like this only' .. sometimes it scares me, that things are far to steeped in inefficiency to even fnction normally.. but like all other things, we will continue to hope while the babus do us proud with their illustrious milestones..(next chart to top, the global one)

@ LEB - True, they need to shape up.
@ Rads - Yes, people dread going to Government offices - workwise or jobwise.
@ Ramesh - It is army of parasites which is killing our nation.
@AJCL - Thanks a lot.

I am pretty sure, the babus will be feeling proud at the moment. And yes, don't bother...i am pretty sure...they don't know what is internet, blog and even English. So them changing them in the next 50-60 years is zilch...zero..

It happens when one takes things for granted. These people know that however they work no one was going to throw them and they will still get there salary so it's like the Chalta hai attitude. Nice post!
Keep Rocking,
Prasant.
