CSE2017 aspirant (ABG)

ohhhhhhhhh
that’s unfortunate – i wish you all the best in 2017.

SSS

No ABG it’s(2016)my 2nd ….wrote Mains in 2015

CSE2017 aspirant (ABG)

hahaha – guess what – we have similar experience in our first attempt – gone in prelims

SSS

No gone in pre last year(2016)
U?

CSE2017 aspirant (ABG)

your first attempt ?

SSS

I’m 100% sure that it is only after independence
But one doubt: is it after constitution was adopted? Or 1947 act
Will check n let u know….if u do it first pls let me know

SSS

Superb ??

CSE2017 aspirant (ABG)

I think so
Because 1935 act just extended the franchise to 10% of the population.
Hence, most probably it will be 1947 Independence act.
I am not sure – it’s my most probable guess

SSS

India independence act
Isn’t it?

CSE2017 aspirant (ABG)

Thanks @forumias-7f07ca326ce76cdde680e4b3d568bce8:disqus for good questions

KISSA SIKKON KA ( Found history of currency in India interesting and important due to recent demonitisation )

Arthashastra, written by Chanakya, prime minister to the first Maurya emperor Chandragupta Maurya (c. 340–290 BCE), mentions silver coins as rupyarupa, other types including gold coins (Suvarnarupa), copper coins (Tamararupa) and lead coins (Sisarupa) are mentioned. Rupa means form or shape, example, Rupyarupa, Rupya – wrought silver, rupa – form

Coins: Tanka and Jital Iltutmish introduced Silver Tanka and Copper Jital , the two coins of the Delhi Sultanate. The coins prior to Iltutmish were introduced by the invaders which bear the Sanskrit characters and even Bull and Shivalinga. Iltutmish was the first to introduce a “Pure Arabic Coin” in India. The Coins were engraved with “The Mighty Sultan, Sun of the Empire and the Faith, Conquest-laden, Il-tutmish,” after he received an investiture of Sovereign Sultan of Delhi from the Caliph of Baghdad. The Silver Tanka issued by Iltutmish was weighing 175 grains. Gold Tanka of the same weight was later issued by Balban.

Sher Shah Suri, during his five-year rule from 1540 to 1545, set up a new civic and military administration and issued a coin of silver, weighing 178 grains, which was termed the Rupiya.[3][6] The silver coin remained in use during the Mughal period, Maratha era as well as in British India.

A Dam was a small Indian copper coin. The coin was first introduced by Sher Shah Suri during his rule of India between 1540 and 1545, along with Mohur, the gold coin and Rupiya the silver coin [1] Later on, the Mughal Emperors standardised the coin along with other silver (Rupiya) and gold (Mohur) coins in order to consolidate the monetary system across India.

Watch Your Language lists the coin as one of the possible sources for the English phrase “I don’t give a dam[n]″, due to its small worth, but provides other sources as well

(from wikipedia and GK today)

CSE2017 aspirant (ABG)

Can you tell me which act provided universal adult suffrage ?

SSS

It’s k we will improve before prelims

CSE2017 aspirant (ABG)

3 r , 3 w , 1 left
so, 4/14

SSS

Thank u

SSS

5 u?

aayush

Sir detailed solutions plzzz

CSE2017 aspirant (ABG)

NO !!!!!
I made the mistake because of this – Montford reforms of 1919 allowed women to vote – but restricted the voters on basis of property
While universal adult suffrage practiced now in India provides right to vote to all the adults
Kitne marks aaye ?

H________R

free service, that too this fast, awesome

CSE2017 aspirant (ABG)

me too – i used to commit same error

CSE2017 aspirant (ABG)

1813 is right answer
If question specified complete abolition of monopoly – 1833 would be the right answer.
Hence, word ”complete” plays an important role
Monopoly khatam to hui thi 1813 main – lekin incomplete

SSS

Sure…u too?

Try one more time!

This is awesome, scored 2/7 but will improve tomorrow

Alok Panigrahi

Great….. Work hard… Keep Reviewing….

Raashi

Even i used to be confused with this but answer will be 1813 only because tea and china are exceptions

SSS

Yeah I attempted in 3min.
Got 5 c,2w
Got confused b/w women enfranchise and adult suffrage

Raashi
