Minority Report

Harsh Mander is a perfect case that illustrates many of the problems with our Administrative Services. For a former bureaucrat, Mr. Mander's complete lack of statistical sense of proportion is remarkable. Does he even read the census reports? So, we have another one of those reruns of virtually the same column, which claims minorities live in fear in India. Sure, in a demographic segment of more than 150 millions, at least some of them are liable to have a little bit of everything. If stats not his style, he could simply ask the Hindu teen girl who must go past a Muslim ghetto to her tuition classes or a stewardess on a Haj flight.

What is it with India? The Agriculture Minister wants to do Cricket, IAS officers want to be Human Rights Activists and writers. Maybe our problem is that we got too many people stuck in the wrong career.

In any case, this issue of our report is dedicated to Harsh Mander.
