Once a class becomes dominant, the autonomy of the bureaucracy ceases to exist and it becomes an instrument in the hands of the dominant class. In India, the growth of classes was stunted during the Mughal and British rule, in the post-colonial situation, no class was dominant. Since the Indian bourgeoisie is now in the process of establishing its dominance, Indian bureaucracy will soon lose its autonomy and power"  aBureaucracy - India  aCivil service - India  aEconomic and Political Weekly
