[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.

@chelseaboy 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. My marks cannot be changed- they are done. I cannot increase them by proving on forum. Peace.

@Equalizer it depends on interpretation of words if there is "issued" than it would be 3 and if it's debt held by than all are correct ....i think it's going to be three only

One more thing in national biofuel policy it's true that given four options can be used but there is also a point three in the notification of government that in order to make farmers get more price for their produce all excess cereals and farm grains can be sold for biofuel with permission from government ,,I think all can be correct on lines that during covid excess rice was converted into biofuel

It's only a speculation that upsc can make it all are correct however it's also a fact that only four out of six are clearly mentioned 


All cannot be the answer.. No way is the government allowing groundnut seeds for biofuel.. As it is India is importing million of tonnes of oil seeds every year.. With rice and wheat they have allowed excess.. Obviously coz that is excess and is rotting in fci godowns..this was the argument given in 2018 while debating the draft policy.. However nowhere is oil seeds mentioned except jatropa because that is non-food... 

Hence all all cannot be the answer..

u have problem in comprehension read that paragraph slowly ..  in  "swa deshi " desh was 1st used to mean nation . which was originally meant geographical cultural etc ...  The later version was used by urban bengali also marathi...   But deuskar used desh for nation ..

I will also give my final piece on Rakhmabai case


Behramji  Malabari's  1884  "Note"  on  child  marriage leading  to enforced  widowhood,  led  to  a  countrywide  debate  on  the  prohibition  of child marriage. Thissocial institution (child marriage) had by then become an issue of public debateas a result of a court case in 1884—88 (in which Rukhmabai had refused to recognise her husband'sconjugal rights. in last she  lost  the  case).  important  reformists  formed  the  Rukhmabai  Defence Committee, of which Malabari was an important member. ( Sekhar Bandopaddhya)


The Rakhmabai case was intricately interwovenwith the Age of Consent debates,since the issue of restitution ofconjugal rightswas closely tied to that of the consummation of marriage (Anagol 2010: 293). Rakhmabai’s deiance and the increasing assertiveness of the women of Maharashtra produced a clash of fears and hopes, of ‘contending conceptions of the desired social order’ (Chandra 1998: 2). While women held child marriage and arranged marriage responsible for the unhappiness of Indian wives, male discourse evaded acknowledging the existence of ‘unhappiness’ in child marriages. ( Ishita dube)


I know some of you wont agree. But still. I have doubts on preamble and AI one too.. however Since i have zero expertises in the matter i keep mum

Yes.. According to vision.. Sulphur is used in phosphoric acid fertilizer 

(There is a process known as 'The Wet Process') 

Otherwise also you can read about preparation of phosphorus fertilizers.. Sulphur is a raw material

Ok. Bro in wet process H2SO4 is used. I think there is a vast difference between sulphur and sulphuric acid. Sulphur Is a non metallic mineral while sulfuric acid is industrially produced chemical. But my knowledge in agriculture is so meagre I can't say anything with certainty. Just my point of view.

Arey the phosphorus component is made using sulfur, coal, and phosphate rock

To isolate phosphorus from phosphate rock, it is treated with mixture of sulphur and other useless things producing phosphoric acid. 

Also kyun itti tension le rahe ho.. If you have marked 2 and 3 in this question.. It is correct. Don't overthink..

@Aurang_mirasudar reconsider the passage of economic freedom. The 2nd part says when govt decides to tax the higher income of educated individuals at higher rate it makes little sense to invest in education. Also in first part it says whenever lower tax rate it makes sense to invest in education. Don't you think answer 1 has to be in the answer. 

In malnutrition passage no mention of pds as such and union govt in the passage, also second option girls should delay marriage and 1st pregnancy is nowhere talked about in passage so 1and 2 not be in the answer
