Satyendra Dubey

While we celebrate martyrs in the armed forces who have sacrificed their life in service of this nation, we don’t celebrate civil servants who have done the same in defence of core principles enshrined in our Constitution.

Despite the tragedy of his death, Satyendra Dubey has gone onto inspire millions of ordinary Indians willing to stand for greater probity in public life.

Here are 10 amazing, brave, dedicated civil servants of India who have made us all extremely proud and done extra ordinary work for the country, some even losing their lives while performing their duty, but never taking the easy way out. We salute these true heroes.
