Summary, etc Twenty-six years in service and fifty-three transfers. That is an average of six months in each posting. Meet the forever-in-transit man of Indian bureaucracy, Ashok Khemka. The IAS officer shot to limelight in 2012, when he cancelled the mutation of a land deal between realty major DLF and a company which belonged to Congress president Sonia Gandhis son-in-law, Robert Vadra. With the Congress party in power, most people called it a suicidal move. But, true to his reputation for being scrupulously honest, Khemka didnt budge. As a matter of fact, he has never budged.

This book presents the man behind the madness, unravelling the intriguing persona of Ashok Khemka. Why has the man never given up against a system that always tends to go with the flow? Why do political parties use Khemkas example to score brawny points during elections and conveniently forget the man afterwards? Why are there just admirers and no takers for the officer when it comes to his deputation with the Central government? The book offers an insiders view of Indias administrative machinery and how it functions. Its a riveting untold story of a man who has the indomitable spirit to stand against corruption.
