Ashok Khemka , the appointed doctor to cure chronic corruption was lured in his youth to join IAS to make a difference to the society and the governance, took his learning and dreams literally in his domain of laid down holy duties of governance. But alas! the disease is proving too much deadly to be treated and the doctor seems to be going down fighting it. The mighty demon of "Corruption" has injected its poison and the most qualified and brave is now clueless. No body dares to come for his help. Why should anybody when he has been put to test by his own fellow colleagues-the IASans. Is this community of indias's most talented and intelligent is worth any respect now.
In my childhood i would think that at top people comes from different planet. They are worth following in their footprints. But today when i see around i feel they are not worth a glimpse. The big men at the larger stage of society have disrespected the life to such a low extent. They look so microscopic. The politicians , the bureaucrats and the most reverend species of India- "the God-Men" now comprises of low-level men ambitious of wealth,power and reputation. All these positions stand compromised because mothers have refused to rear their children with milk of honesty. They are growing lame in character. Is there any polio drop? The victimization of "Khemka" is a matter of shame for a country which boasts to have given birth to Ram, Krishna, Gautam Buddha, Harishchandra, Mahavir, Guru nanak and Mahatma Ghandhi.
If few men who are on top today think that they are above all, they are grossly mistaken. Thousands of stories lead to the same moral "Righteousness triumphs at last". Why they forget this?
