Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread

@Dijkstrain question of Radcliffe brown and Levi Strauss study of social structure I only explained structural functionalism and structuralism without mentioning descent and alliance theory...

Pura 15 number Ka galat hi hogaya. Also in adaptive primate radiation I wrote on adaptive radiation. Left primate

M really scared

@zombielandLevi Strauss wale me 0 to nahi milega, at max 3-4 marks ka damage hoga, can easily be compensated else where, alliance theory kam log hi recall kar pae hoge, most would have revolved around binary opposition etc

Aur 1 10 marker wrong is not a big deal.

@Dijkstrain your experience, is mentioning multiple thinkers is necessary in every question?

@K_9not desire but excess of desire

@azam-imame434
Paper was of moderate level,in my opinion. However, it was lengthy so I missed 2-3 questions of 10 marks each.

@Lastworriersaid inMains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread:

@K_9not desire but excess of desire

Excess is subjective, that's why Buddha kept it simple

Quality of answers and completion of paper.!!!!!

In the race of completing papers, I feel like the quality of most of the answers took a back seat, which really is scaring me to the hell....:(

@wwani391071mujhe bhi aisa hi lag Raha hai ab. Although I was very satisfied with finishing all papers, they were all in my opinion standard average answers.

anthropology 2019 mains answers. please comment how was ur optional as per this answer key.Mains 2019 Discussion (Live).pdf

@kochikaameFingers Crossed !!!!

@zombielandlgta h wo ab -(miNus)day dikhayega

@Abhenfhey thanks dude, some one from pubad is still active. How did you see pub ad paper 1, soecifically

@zombielandevery answer is bombarded with so many thinkers and so many theories and so many case studies... did everyone follow the same approach or i am the only one dumb here???Depressing answer key.

@atuljinot frm anthro..but these keys are made by referin multiple sources and internet without time limitation...exam answers cannot be of this.level... goodluck

@zombielandDifficult to write in such an organized manner on spot but my answers match most of these broadly except a few like approach to religion. Of course if you try to cover all thinkers and examples you will most certainly run out of words and time. SO, if they have mentioned 3 examples in this key, it is okay to mention one. I am sure there are many who must have written on similar lines. The key seems good and also the only one available to me so far.

I should mention that I had a falling out with the author here on several occassions in her telegram group. We frequently had heated arguments and lots of disagreements on several issues but I will concede that this key is good and her knowledge of anthro is deep.

@atuljipost facto analysis and answers wont match exam pressure and time constraint... in a way its good not knw deeper knowledge n thinkers as then one wont be able to finish papers or get stuck in perfecting each answer..irrespective of optional and general studies

@Champakoverall key is good. Just ignore too many thinkers nd new concepts. I believe writing content of standard text books is more than enough to get above 300.

@ranyo_asokatoo many thinkers have to be remembered also. After gs papers it becomes difficult to mug up too many thinkers and recall them in exam. So numbers of thinkers should be done optimally.
