Doubt Clearance Thread: UPSC 2021
"When in doubt, observe and ask questions. When certain, observe at length and ask many more questions."
Created this thread as a one stop solution for all members so that all the doubts wherein any conceptual clarification is required can be solved here.
What is the impact of inflation on export and import?
From what I think,
inflation ->prices increases ->prices of raw material, labour incr ->final cost of product incr ->product becomes less favourable in global market ->export decreases ->but import incr.
Am I right or wrong?
Below mentioned snapshot is from Ramesh Singh's book. It says export and imports both increases. Please correct me - what is right?
Both explanations are correct. During inflation, domestic currency can get weakened and this would impact exports positively. But, this impact would be short-term only.
If inflation stays for long-term, then due to increased cost of the final product, the exports will eventually decrease. Also, in this case, imports will increase as the cost of the same basket of products may get cheaper on importing, rather manufacturing domestically. This is a disaster for any economy!
tamtar,I have a doubt regarding the Waman Rao case and Coelho case.
What i understand is -
Waman Rao case 1981 reiterated that thebasic structure doctrinewould be applicable for the laws made post April 23rd 1973 (Kesavanand bharti case) This would mean basic structure doctrine is applicable only for post April 23rd 1973 amendments and not for the ones made before this date.
And Coelho case 2007 says - anything put under 9th schedule post April 23,1973 would beunder Judicial review.
Is this interpretation correct?
Also - If the laws put under schedule 9 are anyways subject to judicial review then what is the point of putting them in that schedule in the first place.

Your interpretation is correct. No Amendment can change the basic structure of the Constitution.
In that sense, there is no point of putting a law under Schedule 9. But, this is only an opinion. SC has never mentioned any such thing about Schedule 9.
IMO, SC will make a statement that Schedule 9 has lost its significance in modern times, in some or the other judgment soon. In fact, the Tamil Nadu reservation case is still pending in SC
Casablanca,tamtarCasablanca,@upsc2020 can plz provide snapshot of the same i.e.Ncert list of pathogens and disease??

@sankalpr91 ponder over ths-speaker decision under 10th schedule s open 2 judicial review.So should speaker stop deciding itself??Anyway "its open 2",not evry amendment in practice judiciary wud luk in.Hope u get it.
I think you are comparing Schedule 9 with Schedule 10.
Schedule 9 is a special case wherein laws were thought to be immune from any judicial review. But, now they are not. And this significantly downplays the very meaning of Schedule 9.
The only meaning that remains are the archaic laws enacted before April, 1973
@upsc2020 Thnx a tonne.Wht abt list of such species lik sena spectabilis??
I did not cover such species ever. One can't learn everything. NCERT + News. If at all a question about these is asked in UPSC, you will be able to eliminate mostly. If you can share the question, let me see if there's an easy way to solve it.
Was unable 2 solve either!
I would have not attempted Senna Question as I too was unaware. Upon some digging I found that it was in news in September. Invasive species. Was covered in the Hindu.
Pheratophytes is covered in NCERT, also it has been asked in CAPF last year or 2018.
Therefore, my advice would be to limit to newspaper and ncert. One cannot get all 100 right. Don't worry. What is not from these two sources, hardly anyone would get it right.
No 1,@upsc2020 i need ncert link/pdf of chapter wher pheratophyte s given plz.
Sorry confused with my Bio text of class 12th. Not available in NCERT.
Can the president of India deny his assent to a bill?
Yes he can do that. Mainly under two circumstances -
1. in case of private member bill
2. public bill passed by both the houses but before the president assent - the new govt comes up. In such case - if the new govt. asks the president to deny the assent then he has to.
This aspect is also covered under article 74 thus this denial is not discretional i think.
