There are other fine examples of inter service marriages at LBSNAA Mussoorie, IFS ( Foreign ) and IAS like in the post 2000 batches which you seem to forget. With no cadre change these couples face undue hardship and discrimination. Take up their cause as these are truly Civil Service marriages while several of the Mussoorie based "love marriages" many are only marriages of convenience or adjustment for cadre change. Not all but quite a few. Expand your coverage and collect more case studies from 2000-2013 batches as the old cases like the Nirupama Rao case are now dated. Flag these cases for the attention of the PMO as the new decisive GOI will find new ways of helping serving officer couples drawn from the IAS and The Foreign Service to spend some service time together. As MEA is based in Delhi, interested IAS spouses can migrate to the UT cadre for closer and more convenient proximity to their IFS spouse in the MEA at least for some period of their career life - if only GOI is listening.
