A Moment of Reflection
❝
We compare the wage structure of the Indian bureaucracy with the wage structure recommended by Kautilya’s Arthashastra. As compared to Kautilya's recommendations, the wages in the Indian bureaucracy are highly egalitarian. It is likely that the existing wage structure creates a feeling of inequity in government employees and is likely to lead to inefficiency and corruption.
