Why so much effort to get a tongue-twister as title?

IAS means I am At your Service. They also serve who bow to others an crawl before them. After all, before becoming an officer the concerned person might have been benefitted by the leaders. Gratitude sir gratitude.

suck the top and kick the bottom has been the motto of those in power, IAS (many if not all) included.

Touching someone’s feet is the Indian way of showing respect. Politicians are the elected reps of people. If they can salute them why not touch feet?We still have the colonial hangover.

pravin is our batchmate and all i can say is that this act of his has really disturbed many of us.if we want to justify we can justify bloddy anything, but i personally feel pravin should not have done that in the capacity od a dc( could have doneanything in person). and to those who r giving bullshit relies to the above topic, i would say that ur response is nothing but laymanish , far from reality. based on half baked knowledge and false perception of the system. u will find more dedicated and upright persons in IAS/IPS than anyother government service.
