Overview of No Minister: Memoirs of a Civil Servant Book

The bard wrote: 'The course of true love never ran smooth'. The same is true of this book. It is the memoirs of a civil servant who followed the path of rectitude. This is an interesting autobiographical account full of anecdotes and the author's personal observations on the bureaucracy, politics and life. It covers a fascinating period in India's political and administrative fabric and gives us insights into the working of the civil services. As Mahesh Prasad observes, 'The career of a civil servant which may appear to be glittering to outsiders is an eternal struggle'. As he says, there are those who are happy saying 'Yes, Minister' and so reap the benefits that come their way. Those who dare to oppose the Minister have to face the consequences. Dealing with the steel frame, it unveils the seeping in of corruption and inequity in the bureaucracy. The book is replete with self- deprecating humour and bon mots and is well worth a read.
