@Capedcrusader1 This problem was in many questions. 
Ethics ka last case study tha Pawan waala
Options kya hain ,then what should Pawan do,fir apna advice and then training 
Sabme overlapping points the.

Similarly 1st and 2nd case studies. 
Critically evaluate  Options me points repeat hote hain Ek ka merit and doosre ka demerit.
Then again justification me usi types ke points aate hain.

This is what made case studies lengthy. In each part we needed to think more. This took lot of time. Compared to last year when case was lengthy but questions were short.

@aa12 I haven’t watched any analysis from vision or anywhere. I think it’s better to trust people who thought and wrote in real time.

Indigenous knowledge ke baare me likhna tha with examples.

Andaman islander- how they know beforehand about tsunami 

Himalayan tribe- woolen cloth that can survive extreme temp 

Medicinal ( todas, khasis)

Agriculture ( koraput),

Rope making by birhor etc.

Conclusion me tkdl, language preservation etc.

@aa12  

1.Tribals r More sync with nature and environment 

Eg Tendu leaves used instead of plastics

Eg Worship of sacred groves

2.Knowledge of Traditional Medicines

Eg Himalyan yew tree used by Gaddi now used in cancer treatment. 

3.Matriarchal society 

Eg Khasi tribes

EgNo Dowry system in Badagas of Nilgiris 

4.Physical education and sex education by Maria Gonds of Bastar 

Rather than mainstreaming tribals,we can learn from them.TKDL,e commerce and social media can be used for preserving popularising their knowledge system.
