The Civil Serpents - Diary of An Indigenous Man Who Became an Officer…
This book by Mr. Vinay Prakash Tirkey provides a vivid portrayal of the bureaucracy and red tape prevalent in the system. Additionally, it exposes the duplicity of character among all individuals associated with the administration.
In this system, individuals may not even realize when they are harmed by their own colleagues, as the entire system has become a world of deceit and betrayal. The higher-ranking officials in the system prey on the lower-ranking ones, creating a toxic environment.
Author hails from the forest area of Jashpur, Chhattisgarh known as Naglok, where various species of snakes are found. Having encountered different snakes in the forest, he draws parallels between the snakes in the wild and the individuals in the administrative system. He observes that the urban cities are akin to concrete jungles, where individuals with snake-like characteristics masquerade as humans.
While mythical Ichchhadhari Naagin or Naag may not exist in reality, the snakes in the system often exhibit similar traits. Their deceptive behaviour is a necessity for survival in the cutthroat environment of the bureaucracy.
This book serves as a reflection of the civil serpent system, with author's unique narrative style adding an engaging touch that will resonate with readers.
