It is very normal for the moral compass of even the very learned and idealists to fidget in scenarios like this.
When you know everyone is selfish and a lot of times people you are fighting for are responsible for their scenarios.
You know they can turn their backs on you.
Your family can be in danger from the big political and financial powers while trying to save other families.
Your life,your self respect and reputation that has been built over years can be shattered in seconds .
That is why we see a lot of IAS officers committing suicides and many more resigning.
What happens more commonly in that very few in the society even care about the issues plaguing the society,even fewer even take the steps or careers which would lead them to confront these evils on day to day basis.
We as a society turn blind eye and refuse to accept things upfront.
When IAS officers and others in services like justice,law and medicine are penalised in made up Crimes and undergo media trials, people are ready to point fingers and criticize but nobody would want to be in their position if they know the ground reality of things operate at ground level.
Would you want the title of being an IAS officer if you are framed in the land mafia case and your family is under threat .
It is easier to work hard in jobs where you are sure of being paid a monthly income without risk to your family or life.
But at least as a society. we need to be more aware of how things operate in our country.We worship movie actors and take law for granted.Justice depends on what you can prove.And the rich have their ways of putting money into things in order to prove what they want to prove and stiffle the other side.
