If Rajesh Exports scam is true, 3 massive questions are haunting the govt in its face: 1. Why did LIC invest in it so heavily when all MFs and Insurance companies stayed away 2. Why did major investors leave before retail investors got the news of SEBI action 3. MOST IMPORTANTLY, Rajesh Export did 158 billion USD exports in the last 5 years, if this is not correct, ARE WE SURE OUR EXPORTS NUMBERS ARE CORRECT (on which the govt is basing all its confidence) Is this is the start of the economic tsunami that’s about to hit us ?

Bombay High Court tells Tukaram Mundhe ji led Maharashtra FDA “don’t use a sword to kill a mosquito” 🤯 But this is bigger than one officer or one court order It raises a classic sociological question: How do we make bureaucracy effective without making it arbitrary ? 😃 From Weber’s rational-legal authority to Merton’s bureaucratic dysfunctions, normalization of deviance, Foucault’s disciplinary power and the tension between due process and decisive governance This episode tells us a lot about how the Indian state actually works I sincerely believe the real challenge is not finding exceptional officers It is building institutions where ordinary officers can deliver exceptional outcomes 😊 #TukaramMundhe #BombayHighCourt #Sociology #UPSC #IndianBureaucracy
