&gt;&gt;That article is highly one sided and too radical.<p>Not at all. If anything, It is In fact too soft for the problems IAS system continues to cause.<p>&gt;&gt;What would you do after abolishing the IAS? What would it be replaced with?<p>That&#x27;s a good question. This has been studied at length by many many brilliant minds. One of the bright minds (an EX-IAS officer) that I know who studied this at length is Sanjeev Sabhlok (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;sabhlok" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;sabhlok</a>). Sanjeev has a rigourously refined solution. Highly detailed implementation plan that is so detailed that even a junior IAS officer can understand.

Recognizing and acknowledging the problem is first of the many steps towards solving it.<p>&gt;&gt;Is that going to end all the evil in India?<p>This is a necessary but not sufficient condition. No one thing will end all evil in India. There are ways to end, but not one silver bullet.
