[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021

Because of the corona virus issue? If it does not happen then worst affected will be people whose interview is stuck, around 600-700 such people I think are yet to appear for their interview.


@neyawn sir and others, what is your take?

This is the official Thread for discussion of Prelims Postponement, Please do not create new threads for the same.

Is this some naya twist again 😂

No as he referred nation sometimes as Bengal and at other places vice versa. So he did not mean nation as Bengal only rather interchangeably

Giving Clarification about Desher Katha last time. Rest its upto oneself if you want to agree or not. 

The entire section of that chapter is written by ishita dube with the rise of Nationalism and The emergence of Idea of a Country aka Bharatmata. 

The author says desukar used desh in the context we just Discussed ( what has she discussed in previous 2 pages?.. ans -  Idea of nation)) baad me she gives clarification that since desh over laps with place of origin like varna and jati but that was a ‘mix up’

I am attaching the 2 pages Plus see my older explanation of it.

I read through few pages of the text, and he limits his economic theorizing almost exclusively to bengal. Say whatever, but am still not convinced on what he meant. Amycase , I am counting it as -ve so doesn't matter

@Navya No, it's clearly mentioned that Deuskar wrote in Maharashtra. So even if the use of the term 'Desh' didn't refer to India as a nation, it is alluded in the article that the termmight  have been used w.r.t Maharashtra and not Bengal.

@Carpediem  Neither mahrastra nor Bengal. Since in Bengali there was no word to signify Nation , Bengali authors  began to use word Desh for Nation. The Nation which the author has just discussed is India ( Bharatmata) citing examples from mahrastra , telegu, punjab giving various examples on the way how artist activist and authors started associating themselves as common entity


Also A mahrastran author writing in Bengali about The economic drain of India citing examples from RC dutt and Dadabhai Naroji And in turn inspiring swadeshi activist all around India if someone think desh is specifically used for Bengal then all the best. Its just clinging to hope.
