Civil Service Day special: GoT characters and their suitable services
What's the story
Indian Civil Servants are the backbone of India's administration. Every 21st of April, we celebrate The Civil Service Day.
This year, we thought of celebrating it in a light-hearted way by combining the services with characters from one of the most popular TV series ever: Game of Thrones.
Here are some GoT characters and the most suitable Indian Civil Services for them.
IPS
Tywin Lannister: The authoritative persona of a fine IPS officer
Tywin Lannister has won many battles for House Lannister. He was able to do it because he is stoic, pragmatic, and a master tactician.
He is an able commander and carries a certain authority that makes even people like Cersei fear him and respect him.
He will be well-suited to be an IPS officer and command the police forces for super effective results.
IAS
Jon Snow: Most suitable to be an IAS officer
Jon only knows one thing: the benefit of his people. He is largely uninterested in who rules the realm, as long as his people are alive and well.
This is similar to an IAS officer who has no political affiliations but only guarantees administrative continuity.
While Jon is no bureaucrat, his capability of being one was evident from his demeanor in front of Daenerys.
IRS
Petyr Baelish: Best IRS Officer (sans the evil scheming, obviously!)
Known as Littlefinger, Petyr Baelish has actually held a post that deals with the kingdom's revenue.
During the rule of Robert Baratheon, he was the Master of Coin, a royal official in charge of the treasury and responsible for raising money, controlling taxes.
If we remove all the evil schemes and the conniving temperament from Petyr Baelish, we might find an intelligent IRS officer!
IFS
IFS Officers: Children of the forest, only if they pass
They probably aren't a good choice, provided they can't read, write and don't even look like humans (will garner awkward looks in the office).
The only reason that makes them suitable is that they have a deep connection to the land and live within nature and its marvels.
They also have supernatural abilities that just might come in handy while sitting for the exam!
