[rti4empowerment] Colours of Khaki- Destined to posterity

 

Friends,


We all know that Police service is an interesting one and also a most challenging one. We also know that Indian Police Service (IPS) which was initially called Indian Police is considered the premier among all Police services in India and is regarded next only to the IAS.


I am writing a book, for which I have chosen the following title of the book- "Colours of Khaki- Destined to Posterity." The purpose of the book is to bring before the readers the various facets of the senior Police service. At the same time, it is an attempt at making people realize that life is an extremely uncertain affair. Just thing of the fact that all these IPS/ IP officers came to the same service, through the same examination process, underwent through the same training program, all of them became Assistant Superintendent of police and then Superintendent of police. But then? All of them underwent through their own life trajectory, which was as different as it could be.


How else one defines the fact that all of the following are IPS/IP officers of the same service, same exam, same Academy, same training-
1. Ms Kiran Bedi- the first IPS lady officer of India, the legendary police officer who transformed Tihar and even today she is so active for any number of causes
2. Sri SP S Rathode- the IPS officer who will be remembered only for the unfortunate and abhorring Ruchika Girotra case, in which he supposedly played a villainous role, making the entire country get filled with rage
3. Sri C B Sathpathy (Guruji)- Today has millions of followers for consider him the incarnation of Sai Baba Himself
4. Sri R K Sharma- He is in the same Tihar jail that made Ms Kiran Bedi world famous, serving his life sentence for having supposedly murdered a journalist with whom he had some intimate relationship
5. Sri B N Mullick- The IP officer who was responsible for formation of Intelligence Bureau of India and remained its head for no less than 16 years
6. Sri Shaji Mohan- This young IPS officer is languishing in jail for a serious crime like drug smuggling, that too from Pakistan

These are only a few glimpses of how and what far the lives of IPS officers have gone thru, just the same way it happens anywhere else in the world.

I have chosen 30 of these officers whose life I shall be presenting in brief. The book is half ready. It shall not have any earth-shaking revelations nor will it have any in depth analysis but will more in the nature of bringing the various "Colours of Khaki". That is why I have named the book "Colours of Khaki".
Any better name that the friends here might suggest? Any other suggestion please?
