25 years of friendship ?
What sort of Friendship ?
Ex IRS officer S K Srivastava who was eased out of his job/source of income is still waiting (around 15 years) for justice from GOI. His crime was being honest (exception in IRS) and a brave officer who confronted NDTV for its frauds. P Chidamabaram was in seat of power.

One believes that until the end of 2006, you had a ring side seat and you knew fine details (administration packed with Clones of Gandhi)
S K Srivastava s dilemma :
“Ashima Neb, a civil servant who accused me of sexual harassment escaped to Paris, while the penal law proceedings were following the due course”.
Question :
Why did GOI keep its eyes closed, while civil servant Ashima Neb engaged in activities (till 2019) which are not allowed by laws. She was under investigations ? She sought early retirement which was approved by GOI.
A significant number of bureaucrats while drawing their salary from GOI are busy anchoring (example of SK Pandey/IRS Honcho who left IRS about a year ago is worth more than INR 100 crores) their future abroad in France, UK, USA.
Non-primitive form of bribe is common in India.
Non-primitive bribe ?
For example :
It is reasonable to presume that de jure PM took bribes only in non-primitive (PN became PM) form. (PN = a file porter). Development ? Yeah ! Just negative development.
Congress era NSA (Shivshankar Menon) with links to George Soros insinuates India’s domestic policy should be decided by USA. He was promoted out of turn by UPA’s top leadership.

—
Registered letters to PM (marked Personal & Confidential-well sealed envelopes) which contained data, information vital to security, e.g. threats from unsuspecting sources.
PMO ?
Who removed those letters from PMO ?
France was one of the major exporter & financier of terror, targeting India.
Lessons to learn:
Giving actionable information/intelligence (in service of India) to PM can prove to be fatal/suicidal, especially if you also disclosed your address. Apparently PM has no interest in such boring stuff and some lower rank Babu/Money Worshipper is likely to convert your intelligence data for personal gain, more power/feathers in nest/comfortable life.
France is the only supporter of India and lone thinker from Europe. Germany is also at par with USA in ditching India
