Every serious IAS aspirant must know beforehand what awaits him once he enters the ‘system’. Almost ever year, a retired bureaucrat or a diplomat pens an autobiography recollecting all the bad old memories and present them to the reader in the hope that his experiences might shed some light on the working of the ‘system’ he was part of. I found following books worth reading for their honest reflection about the working of the ‘system’. Hope you will enjoy reading them. 1) Bureaucrazy Gets Crazier: IAS Unmasked – M.K.Kaw 2) The Honest Always Stand Alone – C.G.Somiah 3) The Service Of The State: The IAS Reconsidered 4) Untouchables: My Family’s Triumphant Escape from India’s Caste System – Narendra Jadhav 5) Pyramid of Virgin Dreams 6) No Minister: Memoirs of a Civil Servant 7) And What Remains in the End : The Memoirs of an Unrepentant Civil Servant read less
