Price of independence in Indian bureaucracy


Never seeking a favour out of the way for one's promotion etc.
Doing things which normally others venture not for fear of annoying or belittling the importance of immediate seniors or centre of power in the given arena or field of activity. Going out of the way to help others while their positions don't expect them to do.
Doing a job with little risk if it can help an individual or organisation in the process of one's work.
Doing a job with pleasure for deriving job satisfaction.
Aiming to introduce reforms in a system unlike ordinary individuals in a setup.

If one has the above mentioned attributes while in government service, he is bound to annoy automatically his superiors and get sidelined in course of time as he or she advances in career and reach the higher positions in the cadre. He might even be questioned for what he did in good faith and public interest and quietly kept aside when a person oriented towards and committed to the self interest of the political boss has to be accommodated and awarded with a promotion and good posting. This is indeed a price an official has to invariably pay for independence and impartial actions while discharging his duties.
