gvmt babus are one of the most educated people in the country and they are corrupt to the core. Education in india is clerk factory. a marks based qualification that offers nothing but a test of memory.
Dedication to actually flip the image - its difficult in a democratic setup. where people vote based on caste, religion and language.
Experience in corporate leadership -- really? you think NRN/shaving company CEO/ EbikeCEo/ 90 hr guy will make a difference? these guys enrich themselves and are literally running sweatshops.
Smart af = politicians are the smartest people on earth. This field is the true meritocracy. CEO's are just fancy talking idiots. Most politicians atleast take care of their constituency/group of people.
ofc collaboration with Experienced Senior politicians/Govt Officials like IAS, Secretaries, (who actually works) would be required - in most places babus act as the collecting agents for the politicians. is it even possible that politicians are making money without the knowledge of these babus?
Want to see change in the country? stop unwanted consumption. when the tax collection slows, things will change.
