Who has made the bureaucracy corrupt? It is the political masters of post independent India. They belong to all political parties and political formations. So Capt Sahab and Ms Savitri , kicking out the present bureaucracy will not resolve the issue of corruption.
Reform has to start from the top that is the highest decision making machinery. Who is in control of this machinery, the politicians who have been elected to the Parliament and to the State legislatures. The ground reality today is that the political masters indulge in various corrupt dealings and in doing so ropes in the members of the bureaucracy in most of the cases. In most of the deals, it is not possible for a politician to receive a monetary benefit or other benefit without much paperwork and without going through the tendering and other procedures.
It is not possible for any political functionary to complete the process single handed. Here comes the role of the members of the bureaucracy , who undertake to do the necessary processing of the case. Once the intention of the decision making authority is known to the officials, they stage manage the entire process accordingly. In the process, the political bosses get their due share and some part comes to the pocket of the concerned officials. If the political decision maker is clean, it is next to impossible for any official to derive financial or other benefits from us of any deal. If one is really thinking of cleaning up the system, his first target should be the politicians, both in power and those in the opposition.a
