[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.

@Carpediem So either maharashtra or bengal

But book is in bengali oriented for bengal region, influencing bengal swadeshi movement and minds.

In the book, context of desh cannot be maharashtra, it could only be bengal.

Ravindranath tagore didnt supported देशर Katha because it doesn't included Bengali in general and according to him that's why the book can't be accepted by Bengalis and hence I think desh was not realted to Bengal alone

@logan I believe it is neither. He wrote in general about the economic exploitation of India by the Britishers.

@jagteshwar_sohal25614 Shankar sits with the UPSC chairman and decides  what the cut off should be every year 


Ye tarika to kab ka purana ho gaya. Didn't you see how people were craving for Shankar's cuttoff?

Itni choti si baat ke liye log thode na itne excited honge.

Darasal hota ye h ki upsc chairman comes to Shankar and says:-

Shanky bhau kitne ke bhaw me bechu cuttoff.

Shanky bhau: 96 ka de de

Chairman : Thoda to rehem karo bhau. covid ne dhandha pura chaupat kar dala. Jo dukaan May end me khulni thi wo October me jaa ke khuli.Kam se kam 101ka sagun to de do.

Shanky bhau: Chal tu bhi kya yaad rakhega.

Na tera na mera 97-100 ke beech me koi bhi bhav chun le aur haan Dhande me jyada magaz maari nai karne ka.

Chal ho gaya na? Ab pehli fursat me nikal.

Chairman: Ji bhau ji bhau. Thanku bhau, thanku                        so much

Tagore was critique of notion of nation as composite Bharatvarsha. He was not critique of Desher Katha

He himself gived importance to his region is his writings.

@sahanrshetty1875 in English translation there is mention of civil disobedience movement while in HindI translation the mention is of non cooperation movement so according to hindi translation no option among the four is correct as non cooperation movement was not related with Gandhi Irwin pact ।।।in Hindi the upsc has used word " असहयोग आंदोलन " instead of "सविनय अवज्ञा आंदोलन" this has sparked sharp criticism

Hi guys,

A small doubt..if there are certain controversial questions,what decision would be taken by upsc regarding them...(seeing that there are around 10 controversial questions this year)

Are they going to award marks for those who attempted or for everyone??

Pl someone tell...

In all facts the biggest fact is none of us ever heard of deshar Katha and this vittal विध्वंसक as well as ramabai marriage age consent case 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Carpediem Idk about his book since it is in bengali and i cannot read it.
But if Q is lifted from Ishita Banerjee, then this is what is inferred IMO.

I am going to post the image from real book. The actual desher katha. The title of first chapter is ‘ aamader desh’ i.e. our country. The 3rd word in first line is bharatbhoomi. 3rd line last 3 words .. ai ashoke british bharat bole... i.e this is called as ‘ British Bharat ( India)’ Last para first line ‘ Samasta bharat hindu sankya’ i.e population of Hindus in Bharat ( India)


over and out

what i understood from this passage is there was no word for nation in bengali .. deuskar used the word desh for nation

@chelseaboy I believe examiner didn't read actual Desher Katha. Final answer just depends on Ishita Banerjee only. I want her email ID. She can only be final interpreter of her words.

@logan you can believe what you want even ishita dube says that the word desh in his book signifies nation i.e. Bharatmata .

i am actually surprised that even after getting the chapter from his original book and giving full proof he meant desh as bharat u want to take this further.

either you are just having fun or in desperate need of marks. No third reason

i concede defeat. Nai hoga mujhse

@rafael Absolutely yes. But nation refers to place of origin(in geographic social linguistic cultural sense) in Deusker's book. Re read previous 3 lines.
Ishita Banerjee Chapter is how concept of nation developed from regional to Bharatvarsha from early struggle to later periods

Only discussing each other's interpretation.
