Values and influence of religion in public administration

This book involves a study of the influence of religion, mainly that of Christianity and Hinduism, on the formation of the values in the Indian Civil Service (ICS) and its successor, Indian Administrative Service (IAS). The book deals with the problem of administrative corruption in the IAS, which is the premier civil service of the country. The study attempts to ferret out the root causes of corruption in the Indian society, and especially in the government services like the IAS, through a socio-religious analysis of religion in society. The book is a result of a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods of study that include a thorough survey and in-depth interviews of the servingofficers of the Karnataka cadre. This book will be useful to professional administrators like those in IAS or State Administrative Services, and also to students and researchers in the field of public administration, governance, sociology, history and political science.
