Title: Public Office, Private Interest: Bureaucracy and Corruption in India
Abstract: Looks at public bureaucracy in India which has ended up serving the narrow interests of patrimonial politics, especially after independence. The title is concerned with the ignominy of Indian bureaucracy being one of the most corrupt in the world. The author says that even rationalization in the form of a merit-based civil service has failed to keep politics out of administration. Tracing the history of public bureaucracies in India, he looks at the causes of the problem and offers possible solutions. This book is intended for students and teachers of political science, public administration, economics, sociology, and civil servants, policy makers and analysts, journalists and all those interested in politics and ethics in India
