[Official] CS INTERVIEW 2019 PREPARATION : COMBAT

@ManchesterUnitedsaid inCS INTERVIEW 2019 PREPARATION : COMBAT:

How do you see the recent Karnataka and AP orders of reserving most C and D level plus 50 percent of private jobs to native people?

For gr C,D, I am assuming the selection process would include a local lang test, if that be the case, then the reserv is political messaging.
For the private sector, it would increase compliance burden on the companies, plus they would also have to invest in training the local populace.
.
Nonetheless, it would improve emp opportunities for the local people. But issue of complacency may arrive. Plus, other states may also follow suit, which would be detrimental for long term eco dev & investments.

@CaesarIf board member goes into specifics, then it can be cited. Although socio guys should equip themselves with such theories. Yes the caste system and many other practices of Hinduism are based on the notion of purity and pollution. Eg , wedding card is printed in red but death card printed in black. Nails and Hairs are considered as pollution, occupation associated with them belong to lower caste.
Such reference can be used in Sabarimala issue.

@Abraham-MaslowYes, every point seems a potential question. We should also discuss your questions posted in first page.

If anybody following Raisina Dialogue? They seem to discuss some burning issues. Please post if you extract some important information there.

Do we have consolidated list of interview transcripts that was posted by many on this forum? I think there was a thread, if someone finds please post it here
