Pegasus spyware has been in news so kindly go through that, also look for cyber related terms such as, phishing, ethical hacking, mirroring etc, might come in prelims.

GoI Act 1909 used the term elections while Indian Councils Act, 1892 introduced the element of elections.

Under GoI Act 1909: Municipal Corporation members elected members of provincial legislatures who in turn elected members of central legislature.

GoI Act 1919 introduced direct elections for the first time where out of 145 seats in the central legislature, 104 were elected.

This is what my notes say

Some websites are saying 1909 and using the source as DD Basu but I didn’t find this written anywhere.

Direct election introduced in GOI Act 1919.

In 1909 system of election was very indirect.

PS- same has already been discussed in this thread before. Reference of Static books as a proof is more apt in clearing doubts.

@ranjan000008dubey16938 Iran? Because it was earlier an associate member.. Turkmenistan is the odd one out amongst the Central Asian countries that's not there in the SCO. Eliminate Saudi and Japan because it kinda is a regional grouping?

Consider the following statement about Pegasus which has been in news recently.

1- It is a software especially designed for cyber surveillance only.

2- It can be installed either physically or virtually.

3- The installation of software require multiple clicks by the targetted person.

Select the correct option.

a- 2,3,4

b-1,2,4

c-1,2,3

d- 2 and 4 only

Direct election was introduced in GOI 1909. How can you even have electorate without direct elections? Britannica says "directly introduced the elective principle to membership in the imperial and local legislative councils in India." for Morley Minto reforms.

That's what my notes says too.
