Father:RickShaw Puller, Son:IAS

He is Govind Jaiswal,22,IAS(dream job for a north Indian common man).I got this inspirational forward from one of my colleague.

His story is captured in numerous magazines , websites and blogs.

Yet another story of hard work,continuous struggle,passion,perseverance and unbirldled faith on System.

A rickshaw puller's son can manage to become IAS should inspire millions of people who are living in hope of coming out of poverty and struggle.

It's yet another story which proves that miracles do happen in India where government functions are replete with corruption and redtapism.

I just could not imagine the risk that he was riding on as his father had to sell land for Rs 40,000.

Studying for IAS requires great concentration unaffected by any metro city distraction which he could manage successfully.

It's proud event for govind to achieve his dream which will ensure a decent living his family members in future.

But these miracles happen once in million.This reveals ugly face of Indian system which doesn't guarantee people with decent human life even after 60 years of independence.

It's shame to all of us as we are way short of providing people with dignified living.

Ever wondered why all these stories of exceptional achievements in IITs and especially IAS come from feudal lands of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.UP and Bihar are feudal parts of country where development is abysmally low,population is high,castesim is rule of day.In these societies, people with lathi, rupiya and taakat(power) are respected.Common people like Govind can not attain first two but can attain later by getting a job that wields power.

I hope Govind will work developmental agenda unaffected by politicians' pressure and ugly politics.
