Most civil service aspirants in India are from middle-class or lower middle class. This is true of IFS, too. Therefore, when you join the IFS, you’ll be like everyone else rather than being an exception. If you are from a lower middle class family, you should always remember the hardships that you have gone through when you join IFS or any civil service and use your position to make life better for those who are in difficulty.
