One usually sees that when a scam is unearthed, the IAS officer involved gets punished, but the politician (at whose behest this officer did whatever he did) gets away.
There must be some corrupt IAS officers, but many, not personally corrupt, do the deed at someone's behest. Some believe the politician will protect them if caught out. Now after the recent examples of politicians hanging the secretary out to dry, I hope the IAS associations will help keep this category of babus from giving in to pressure "upar se".
Through my daughter, I am now meeting or getting to know of some intelligent, well-educated and fairly idealistic young people who are trying to get into the IAS.
If this microcosm is an indication of the larger picture, there is hope for our country.
