This must be true for the 'babus ' in New Delhi
The genesis of bureaucracy in India.
Once upon a time there was a king who wanted to go fishing.
He called the royal weather forecaster and enquired as to the weather
forecast for the next few hours.
The weatherman assured him that there was no chance of rain in the coming days.
So the king went fishing with his wife, the queen. On the way he met a
farmer on his donkey. Upon seeing the king the farmer said, "Your
Majesty, you should return to the palace at once because in just a
short time I expect a huge amount of rain to fall in this area".
The king was polite and considerate, he replied: "I hold the palace
meteorologist in high regard. He is an extensively educated and
experienced professional. Besides, I pay him very high wages. He gave
me a very different forecast. I trust him and I will continue on my
way." So he continued on his way.
However, a short time later a torrential rain fell from the sky. The
King and Queen were totally soaked and their entourage chuckled upon
seeing them in such a shameful condition.
Furious, the king returned to the palace and gave the order to fire
the weatherman at once!
Then he summoned the farmer and offered him the prestigious and high
paying role of royal forecaster.
The farmer said, "Your Majesty, I do not know anything about
forecasting. I obtain my information from my donkey. If I see my
donkey's ears drooping, it means with certainty that it will rain."
So the king hired the donkey.
And so began the practice of hiring asses to work in the government
and occupy its highest and most influential positions.
