Swati, well yes. you are right the government and the mantri change, but the bureaucracy do not change for years. I did not meant that MOFA officials are very decent and capable but we cannot imply them as being incompetent just because they were recruited by Lok Sewa procedure. They can work to their capaboility if they really intend to do so.However the problem is, if the MOFA officials do not dance to the tune of corrupted Mantri, they are subdued . promotion is restricted, and their career falls in Jeopardy.As for the people posted in foreign missions(consulates and embassies), assume they are handpicked by politicians or ambassadors and they are not necessarily the people who joined MOFA through Lok Sewa procedure. Indian government, Indian bureaucrats and Indian citizens are all well ahead of us in every aspects. We cannot be complacent for ourselves , I mean you and me , by complaining the bureaucracy and government only? where is our contribution??
