Actully, when you enter into Gov. service, there are 2 ways available to you. You can become part of the system or you can stick to your own ideas. Here the real test of person begins, becoming part of system is easy and smooth and u starting enjoy the perks and previlegs attached with it or in other words u are going to be a serpent unconciously in ur future.
On the other hand, if u are differnt, and want to stick to ur ideas that u have nartured all ur life , means u want to be honest and serve the nation, there are heavy odds in ur way and life becomes difficult. You can become outcast in the system and other will think u unfit for the job. You are slowly cornered and no important assignement is assigned to you.
The recent example of this is the Ex-DDO(R) Lahore Cantt. who tried at her level to correct the things but all the beneficeries of the system joined hands to remove her from the post. And she will not be considered for such field posting in future.
Anyway, there is a midway also availbale, which many of us adopt and try to satisfy our consciencs and continue to work as serpent or servent.
