@John_TitorShameful. They are attacking litigants, media and random pedestrians. Is it just more social media coverage or has lumpenism in all walks of life burgeoned over the course of last few years.

I infer it's kind of both. The ubiquitous presence of camera and internet has meant that now every slightest bit of disturbance has the potential of getting reported, at the same time people have also become more violent due to the demonstration effect of social media; thus creating a vicious cycle of reporting of crime spurring even more crime imho.

I think more marks in optional is because of fixed syllabus, expected ques, less randomness(than GS); apart from that I also feel efforts from aspirants has also forced examiners to give more marks(very few put so much efforts in GS), mostly applicable for PSIR

can you elaborate this?What do you mean by less randomness in PSIR?

I meant for paper 1, which was quite static and mostly on expected lines.. Compared to any GS paper where we have to think and invent an answer and do it for most of the answers..

Lawyers and their lobby have mostly been like this in Delhi(and many other places esp UP). They did not let Kiran Bedi stay in Delhi for long(she lathicharged lawyers creating ruckus outside her office). I also read an incident last year when a lady IAS officer was manhandled by lawyers in a Delhi court(she took a firm stand against a few lawyers when posted in Delhi).

@abhishek_psaid inMains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread:

how much those feedback suggestions by test series evaluators were helpful in the actual mains exam?

Always found them vague and generic, plus always found difficult to analyze ans copies

Exception being Vision essay TS, joined for 3 essays, the f/b provided was detailed and quite good, almost 1 page for each essay, but the tests were way too costly..

@John_Titor
Not interested to discuss much about anti-indians like Kanhaiya Kumar.
Lets use this forum for constructive discussion on mains\ interview only.

@RagsHe has constitutional right to show dissent, there is nothing anti national about it.

@vvvikas0078212
Which constitution gives right to shout slogans like - India becomes 1000 pieces? Democracy should be within limits and it should not hurt others.

@RagsAs per SC judgement, his actions didn't incite violence and he had no intention to overthrow gvt, so no sedition.

@vvvikas0078212@Yes_I_am_in@Haeckel@princessconsuela488- Do you agree with his slogans - India becomes 1000 pieces?

@RagsBhai kisi ke bolne se desh ke 1000 tukde thodi na ho jaate. Agreeing or disagreeing is immaterial here.

After seeing the discussion of the questions here i still not able to decipher whether i have written good answers or not. People still want IBC format or some structure which i have nt maintained in many questions. . Also i have written mix of point format and para format which may award me less marks as many claimed that examiners just see the heading and subheading and not the entire answer. My answers if not read well and examiner only see the headings then are empty. . Also word limit has been crossed in the questions where i know relevant content. . I answered only what is asked and concluded. . Not given the detailed intro n conclusion except few. . Also good, avg, namesake ratio varries in each paper with low good answers in paper 3 as specific was asked. . Essays were okay.. Optional i dont know aboout marking scheme scaling and all stuff discussed here. .only positive is i have written relevant content and not extra and attempted all questions in all papers except paper 3 , 2 10 markers were just 30 words. . Still in dielma about result as

@RagsAs per Delhi district court and police investigation, slogans were shouted by outsiders. Kanahiya himself didn't say that. I personally believe in unity of nation.

@Ragsha bhai aapke paas to evidence hai ..de aao delhi police ko..Abhi tak khula chod rakha hai usko.

@Yes_I_am_in@vvvikas0078212-- I’m not talking about punishment or to what extent it can be criminalized. But it’s ethically wrong.

@Ragsbhai ethics tab aati hai jab koi action hua ho....abhi tak to yhi nhi pata ki slogan bole the ya nhi

@Yes_I_am_inNo, Ethics ka action\ punishment say koi matlab nai – It is inner feeling of correctness.

How do you know the inner feeling of person? Jab koi action nahi hua toh?
