The bureaucracy is self-centered and egoist by nature and develops an elitist and aristocratic outlook. The bureaucracy in India was evolved during British period and it was not accountable to people for its activities. The rules and procedures were designed in such a way which ensures its strong control over the affairs of the government without being accountable to the citizens. This tendency of the bureaucracy continued even after independence. Bureaucracy in India, in recent period, have displayed the tendency of affiliating with either different political parties or individual political leaders.
