Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread

@pmishra997125paper 2 me thode mushkil the sawal ,south china sea wala kya likhna tha ??

@Akkkukya tha essence marxism aur globalisation waale question ka? mai bhi toh yhi likh ke aaya hoon. robert cox aur aur wallerstein bhi ghusa dia tha. basically marxist theory hi likh di poori. pta nhi kya likhna tha isme.

@Lonewolfwoh nhi kia maine. but muje aisa lag rha tha ki saare marine related questions mei india's vision of indo-pacific hi likhna hai. whi free, open, inclusive, zone of peace, rules based order waali bakaiti. itne specific questions karne mei waise hi darr lagta hai. i think isi specificity ki wajah se paper hard ho gya. but personal experience kehta hai paper1 pe marking tight hoti hai aur 2 mei lenient. let's hope for the best

@Minimumwageisme kisi ka nahi katega i think... sab ke apne apne interpretation hai fr small india..they wd hve defined what small india as per them is and wrote...not an issue

What u people wrote in increasing divergence between poverty and hunger?

@dr-ahmednaaz8567Poverty rate declined from 1990 levels to current 21%. But hunger not reducing in proportion. In fact stunting is 38.4% and wasting 21% as per NFHS4. This divergence because poor people have other needs like urgent medical and education where money goes, so less money left for nutrition thus divergence between hunger and poverty.

@dr-ahmednaaz8567This was another specific qn where very less content was written by me. I wrote how the poverty rate is india is decreasing but ranking in hunger index is less. wrote general stuff like less exp by govt and increasing out of pocket exp and so on.

@pmishra997125NAM se they asked 2 questions and that too specific NAM 1.0/2,0 was still manageable but 17 th Summit wala toh padha tha kya ?

@LonewolfIR wale india specific toh ghum phir ke ek jaise the

India Vision of world order main kya likha ??

@pmishra997125maine toh andrew linklater .. thomas piketty bhi

@duster2019ye 100 pratishat sahi baat hai; could not agree more

@ranyo_asokahaha ; atankit to main exam hall me hua tha; itna history padhne ke baad bhi hawa nh lagi thi iski

@sernihilonam 1.0 and nam 2.0 compare and contrast, how it was manageable Bro. I found it very tough to write. Hardly few redundant points. Questions like parliamentary diplomacy, ibsa dialogue forum, 17th summit, sustainable development all were difficult toh write exact answers.

Wohi sab normal stuff, causes of hunger and how they are not being addressed by increasing income levels. Also included out of pocket expenditure, luxury goods consumption like Coca Cola etc. lack of cheap pulses and issue of female malnutrition (social causes). Concluded by mentioning national nutrition mission I think, don’t remember exactly as it was among the last questions I attempted@dr-ahmednaaz8567

@Minimumwageye bc konsa ques hai

@pushkarchy-9327035 mujhe to difficult hi lga..Average sa hi answer likha hun in sab me ..Ek israel palestine me bhi thoda mai dhang se nhi likh paya..But since last 3 years paper 2 me thodi liberal marking hoti hai,so hoping 140 around marks..

There is a growing divergence in the relationship between poverty and hunger in India. The shrinking of social expenditure by the government is forcing the poor to spend more on Non- Food essential items squeezing their food – budget.- Elucidate.@Raja123
Galat likha hai maine, second part nahi padha tha dhang se

Gajab likhe ho yar tum log...apna koi chance nhi.

Sea of Poppies or the Glass Palace by Amitav Ghosh, non fiction padhna hai to Why nations fail acchi hai@John_Titor

@Lonewolfsame here bhai. I read multiple times Israel question, nothing came to mind. Just wrote basic things. This was the most difficult question in my opinion.
