What is an office of profit? अथार्थ वह ऑफिस जिसमे आपको कुछ फ़ायदा हो रहा हो।  Actually, there is no such concrete definition of the office of profit. Even constitution is silent on this aspects. This has been a very debatable issue for many decades. People's President APJ Abdul Kalam had also raised this issues which inflicted the moral conscience of the countrymen due to the misuse of public money and adding or deleting the list of office of profit for own whims and fancies.

This is because Buddhism was most acceptable to every common people irrespective of their class, status. It didn't have had any stringency in any rituals, rules.

For instance, when any crisis of conscience come in administrative decision making and s/he has limited time and resources. Like in the matter of riots, violence and maybe an Administrator has to choose between killing or not killing. Whatever decision s/he may choose m...

Some of them are: 1) Codified Rules and Anglo-Saxon law 2) Land Policy 3) Tax policy 4) Unified Administration, Civil service 5) Bringing new technology, infrastructure like Railways, Telegraph 6) Police: law & order 7) Legislation, limited adult suffrages, path to democracy 8) Market Economy, private ownership 9) Municipal corporation, Urbanisation 10) Industrialisation 11) Education: English, Science, Humanities etc., Press, universities 12) Social Reforms like Sati, child marriage, widow remarriage etc. There is more such contribution of the British. But the question arises, Is India today as the rising superpower because of these inherencies from the predecessor or despite it? In order to arrive at s...
