In today’s episode, we sit down with Amit Kilhor, UPSC Teacher & Content Creator, to understand the reality of India’s bureaucracy and the system behind it.
We discuss why many officers describe the IAS as a steel cage, where corruption actually begins, and how power changes as officers move up the hierarchy. Amit explains the culture inside Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration, the pressures of the system, and why some positions carry extraordinary influence.
The conversation also covers major IAS-related controversies, how corruption networks operate, where illicit money typically flows, and why senior officers often become difficult to challenge. We talk about the differences between the IAS and IPS, the most powerful posts in the country, and the gap between public perception and reality.
