The 'chowkidar' tag

Those who serve in the government cadres, proudly assert themselves as "servants" unmindful of the designation the official holds, whether in IAS or a subordinate.

Similarly, in the political sphere, a Prime minister and his colleagues anointing themselves as "chowkidars" infuses into themselves a spirit of humility and camaraderie, alive to their role and obligations in a democracy.
