OFFICIALS AS POST OF IAS, BUT INDIA IS SUFFERING FROM DISEASE OF CORRUPTION AND MANY MORE PROBLEM, WHERE IS NOT IAS OFFICER. BUT IT IS BAD FATE OF INDIA, NOBODY WANT TO A TERRORIST AS SOCIAL REFORMER. EVERYONE IS RUNNING FOR SUCCESS AND POWER OF MONEY AND WEALTH.
I AM SEEKING A TERRORIST JOB IN INDIA WHO CAN REFORM IN INDIAN OFFICIAL AND DIPLOMAT WHO(OFFICIAL) HAS HIGHER POWER POST AND DIGNITY BUT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING CORRUPTION.
INDIA IS FULL OF RESOURCES AND WEALTH, BUT HEART AND SOUL OF INDIAN SO POOR, WHO HAVE NO CONTROL ON IT. ON THE BEHAVE OF, THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO RESIDE IN INDIA.
IF ANYBODY CAN UNDERSTAND AND TAKE OATH TO MAINTAIN DIGNITY OF IAS SERVICE , POST THEN HE/SHE MUST PREPARE FOR THAT POST.
