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.
@STEWS cut off will be low in cse 2019 only , in cse 2020 the cut off will normalize due to awareness . and petitioners want to reap the rich dividends which are only available this year .
and OBC/SC cant apply in EWS , EWS is only for unreserved candidates . if you are in any other reserved category u cant claim EWS quota even if u meet criteria . this is also one more ground on which EWS Bill is challenged as it takes the caste criteria too though the purpose is economic criteria .
Some possible questions/topics in this year's interview :
Is CAA violative of Article 14/21, Secularism (basic feature, SR Bommai 1994) ? Will it not be better for the GoI not to go for 'persecuted religious minorities' but 'persecuted communities' in those three nations ? (And the follow up questions)
Do you think that history of India needs to be rewritten or revisited ? What are issues in the existing historical texts ? Are they free of bias or have some inclination towards one version over the other ? (In wake of some political callings in this regard)
Anti-Rape Laws and Justice delivery. (In wake of Unnao, Hyderabad & encounter and AP's Disha Act).
Cooperative federalism withering ? ( States openly defying Union's Acts/policies -CAA/NRC)
ISRO and it's significance in achievement of SDGs and other socio-economic and technological objectives.
Economic slowdown - Reasons/concerning areas/govt steps/way ahead. (Will we miss $5trillion dollar mark in years to come ? What about Doubling Farmer's Income )
Was US justified in killing of the General ? How you see India Iran relations in short to medium term ? If Iran goes into War like situation with US, what should be course of action for India ? Can it afford to be neutral ?
Some experts say that there is a link between slowdown of world economy and the possibility of war among major powers. Is this linkage appropriate ? What is your view on economics of War ?
(More such questions are welcome. Please add on.)
@abhishek_pBhai. The stand of UPSC had been quite clear since the verdict. They're trying to figure out how should the result be prepared. The CAT order is worded casually and it doesn't put a full stop on the cause. That's why I told yesterday that we were being overly enthusiastic about result.
I don't know why Godi Media is playing with words here and saying that it was to come yesterday and blah blah.
@Abraham-MaslowPlease start a new thread for interview preparation. This post will get lost amid ongoing discussion.
@AzadHindFauzYes. I think Behemoth has created a new one on Interview a while ago. Pasting it there a fresh.
When can we expect it bro. Any idea ??
@STwhat’s that?
@kochikaameActually I find visitng both the subreddits useful. Easy to get pros and cons about any scheme/plan/project
. Notes aram se ban jata.
I don't think that CAT had banned the results anytime; I think it is the decision of UPSC, following its best practices - not to declare until the final verdict came recently; So continuing its best practices, UPSC is trying to fine tune its result to be completely in-sync with CAT verdict;
Now this would require the proper interpretation of each of the paragraph and clarification from CAT on the doubtful paragraphs;
It could have released the core results of the certain candidates who are definitely selected and rest would have been star marked but, again that would have created a lot of haphazard and would have been unfair for the people who were star-marked, as they would be knowing their marks is on the verge/cut-off (both in general & EWS categories) - so very less chance to get into the final list; Also that could have been unfair for those also who were at verge but were not star marked?
As UPSC being a constitutional body like CAT, we should not consider it lightly. It has experience of handling these kind of situation very well; If it publishes result without much brain-storming, it may lead to further cases against it adding to further complications - considering a lot of "Activist Candidates" in the process, taking care of the even the minutest of mistakes of UPSC.
I think that UPSC would have prepared a core list whose selection would be certain and was waiting for the result to know the extent of EWS candidates needed to be incorporated; (Considering some people blaming that UPSC could have prepared the final list during all this time;) As UPSC itself was not sure to what extent the case would have favored it (which got cleared after verdict - i.e. inclusion of EWS candidates till 16th August 2019); So now, it is creating a final list of inclusion of core candidates and the new candidates that satisfy the verdict condition;
Hopeful that this would not take much time! All the best.
(Justice in country like India doesn't mean - providing justice to each one of us but it is given by doctrine of proportionality - that is that the court will weigh for itself the advantages and disadvantages of an administrative action and such an action will be upheld as valid if and only if the balance is advantages)
