Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread
Now that 1 week is over, it is time to shift focus to Mains. With barely 103 days left there is no time to waste.
@BehemothYou're right.
@Vishwanathtougher !
@AzadHindFauz
You're right, bro.
@Hermione_Granger Exactly. r/india can be labelled as not too extreme left. Have even witnessed from some users supporting Capitalism. At least they agree communism is largely dangerous for India or any other country for that matter.
Would call them as selectively leftists. Completely against Modi but support the underlying principles behind his economic policies.
@kochikaamer/indiaspeaks thread posts reeks of hypocricy. Preaches dissent and freedom of expression is good but found wanting on their actions,
@BehemothIt's going to be my signature phrase on this platform beginning now. Thanks for this.
@BehemothIndeed, I moved over to the Indian express an year back when I was seriously disgusted at the way the Hindu was covering the entire LS2019 elections. IMO, most of the English language newspapers have a distinct left bias (includes IE too), but some more than other (the Hindu). I was seriously frustrated with the kind of editorials/opinion pieces which were carried over by the Hindu. I found most of the editorials/opinions to be voicing only one particular side of an issue/topic to the point that I thought this couldn't be representative of objective and ethical journalism. Thankfully, IE (inspite of having that distinct left bias) tries to maintain its neutrality by giving space to both sides of an issue. Recent case in point being the CAA bill. However, as has been rightly pointed out by someone earlier in this forum, one needs to read the editorials and opinion pieces with some sort of an active filter where one needs to deliberately ignore the musings of few. Eg: Some of the recent editorials of Pratap Bhanu Mehta are borderline rants as opposed to being well argued pieces which he used to write earlier. And on a few matters, I do think right wing media outlets like Swarjyamag have had a much better record of putting the matter as it is infront of everyone.
PS: The Hindu's coverage of the entire Rafale saga was the proverbial last straw that made me give up entirely on the Hindu and its 'journalism'. The MMRCA deal was something which I had followed right since the deal's inception in 2008-9 and whatever the govt did (IMO) was to salvage some sort of a respectable walkaway for the GoI in its dealings with another sovereign nation.
@AzadHindFauzAll right.
@Hermione_Granger said inMains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread:
@kochikaameOh yes. By and large I agree.
Mostly I have time only for subs dedicated to movies, TV shows. And sometimes, philosophy and books. Reddit otherwise, is great for expanding on your interests.
Yeah, the best part of Reddit is the effective organisation of data in subreddits. Each topic has its own subreddit which makes it very easy to find and create content. Facebook has much more data than Reddit but due to their poor organisation is really hard to find relevant content

@AplharomeoI've been following IE for the last 4 years and Pratap Bhanu Mehta's Editorials have always been emotional write ups in a very flowery English. I appreciate his perspective a lot of times but he goes overboard sometimes.
@AplharomeoN Ram personally wrote full page articles wrt Rafale, perhaps thought of it as bofors 2.0 kind of Investigative Journalism that gave fillip to his career.
