Acharya Prashant critiques the common claim made by civil service aspirants that their primary motivation is social service. He argues that such responses are often coached and lack genuine honesty. He challenges the questioner to consider if they would be equally committed to social welfare in a low-status, low-paying private job without the power and prestige of a government position. He points out the contradiction in candidates who claim to want to change the nation but have done nothing toward that goal in their youth, suggesting that true passion for social change does not depend on a specific job title.
