His name is U Sagayam.
He became District Collector of Namakkal in 2009.
The first thing he did was upload his personal assets on the district website.
Bank balance: Rs 7,172.
House in Madurai jointly owned with his wife: Rs 9 lakh.
That was everything he had after 18 years of government service.
He said this. The district collector should set an example of honesty for his subordinates.
He was the first IAS officer in Tamil Nadu to voluntarily publish his financial details.
In 2000 he found dirt floating in Pepsi bottles as Additional District Magistrate in Kanchipuram. He sealed the entire plant. Refused to back down despite pressure.
In 2004 he found restaurants in Chennai using subsidized domestic gas cylinders illegally. He confiscated 5,000 cylinders in three days.
In 2012 as District Collector of Madurai he investigated illegal granite quarrying. His report found losses to the state of at least Rs 16,000 crore. He named politicians and officials.
He was transferred four days after submitting the report.
That was transfer number 19.
In 2015 the High Court appointed him to probe a granite scam. He needed to exhume bodies as evidence. The police refused to help. He was worried evidence would be tampered with.
He spent the night alone in a graveyard.
In Namakkal 5,000 villagers once came out to protest when the government tried to transfer him. The transfer was withdrawn.
He was ultimately kept for six years in an insignificant post at Science City Chennai with nothing to do.
In 2021 he resigned voluntarily. Three years before retirement.
His office door had a sign throughout his entire career.
Reject bribes. Hold your head high.
His name is U Sagayam.
Follow for real stories about people who chose truth over everything.
His name is Ashok Khemka.
IIT Kharagpur. PhD from TIFR. IAS 1991 batch.
In 2012 he was Director General of Land Consolidation in Haryana.
He found a land deal where Robert Vadra’s company bought 3.5 acres in Gurugram for Rs 7.5 crore and sold it to DLF for Rs 58 crore within weeks.
700 percent profit. No physical development. Fraudulent mutation approvals.
He cancelled the deal and declared it illegal.
Within 10 days he was transferred.
That was transfer number 1 of 57.
57 transfers in 34 years. One every 6 months.
Every time he exposed corruption in a new department he was moved to a less significant one.
Archives. Archaeology. Printing and Stationery.
His batchmates became Secretaries to the Government of India.
He was sent to manage old records.
He posted on X after his 53rd transfer.
The reward for honesty is humiliation.
He retired in April 2025 as Additional Chief Secretary.
He never became Chief Secretary.
No medal. No recognition.
Just 57 punishments for doing his job.
As you look at the horrific pictures of the bombed Iranian school…
Pause for a minute and think..
Indian Air Force and the Army were given 2 and 7 terror targets respectively to hit on the night of May 6-7 in Op Sindoor…
Each was fully destroyed…
On the morning of May 8, the IAF carried out extensive air defence suppression using long-range kamikaze drones…
On May 9-10 the IAF targeted 14 PAF bases or radar stations/missile batteries…
Destructive evidence of almost all these strikes cane up in satellite pictures…
All strikes were carried out by precision munitions from long distances…
Not one missed aim or strayed to harm civilians… no school, no village or city, no hospitals. None…
This despite not having a fraction of the US military weapons, sensors or surveillance ability…
And in a furiously contested air space against near-peer PAF and its Chinese air defences…
Let’s give credit where due. To our armed forces in this case…

Budget will be presented on 1st Feb. Here’s how traders are taxed multiple times 👇
👉 2004 (UPA): STT introduced
↳ Govt exempted LTCG on equities in return
👉2018 (NDA): LTCG tax reintroduced
↳ STT was kept as is
👉2024: STT & capital gains both were hiked
Result: Your post income tax money is taxed on entry (STT) and on profit (CGT) plus there is GST, stamp duty, exchange charges, cess and what not!
This is triple taxation, not reform.
STT was meant to replace LTCG, not coexist forever.
Raise your voices and be heard so that taxes rationalisation happens.

Mumbaikars demand immediate online disclosure of all candidates’ affidavits on the MCGM portal.
Transparency is a voter’s right. Details of criminal cases, assets, liabilities, and educational qualifications must be made available without delay after nomination scrutiny, not kept pending till the last moment.
Free, fair, and informed voting is impossible without timely access to affidavits.
The Election Authority and MCGM must ensure time-bound, ward-wise online publication for public scrutiny.

There are questions about where Zoho is developed and where the data is hosted and who hosts it. There is a lot of false information we want to correct.
1. All the products are developed in India. Our global headquarters is in Chennai and we pay taxes in India on our global income. As a global corporation headquartered in India, we have offices in over 80 countries and have a strong presence in the US which is a big market for us.
2. Indian customer data is hosted in India (Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai, soon Odissa). We have over 18 data centers globally and they host the respective country or regional data. We are committed to hosting each country data in their own jurisdiction.
3. All our services run on hardware we own and software frameworks we developed, on top of open source like Linux OS and Postgres database.
4. We do not host our products on AWS or Azure. Arattai, specifically, is not hosted on AWS or Azure or GCloud. We use some of those services for regional switching nodes to speed up traffic but data is not stored in them. We are adding many such "points of presence" (POPs) as we speak.
5. Our Zoho Developer account in the App Store and Play Store lists our US office address because the account was registered in the very early days of those stores by one of our employees in the US just to test them out. We never changed that.
We are proudly "Made in India, Made for the World" and we mean it🙏
