In this essay, the proposition is submitted that the program of a administrative reform in India since 1947 has been unusually well conceived and has been marked by a firm sense of order, balance, and allocation of priorities. Part 1 of the essay reviews in cursory fashion administrative developments which appear to justify this hypothesis. Part 2 seeks to array evidence demonstrating the existence of the quality here described as intellectuality in the ICS tradition. Part 3 is an effort to indicate, the relevance of a sophisticated bureaucratic intellectual apparatus to the problem of bureaucratic reform. Part 4 seeks to study one aspect of bureaucratic change, namely the transformation of the Indian Civil Service.
