Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread

Seeing gs papers last year se km rhega..@Behemoth

All the four hetrodox religions of Bihar viz budhism, jainism, lokayata and aajiwika did not have concept of God.
But little attention is to be paid here... Jainism has concept of God but position of God is inferior to that of Jina(person who has attained kaivalua) @tanmoysen123405

Nhi yar...
Paper 2 was specifically generalist and hence less scoring than previous years...
paper 1 v lenthier than 2016 and 2017 chahe wo geertz aur turner comparision ya fir RC brown and boas on basis of kinship...@zombieland

1. Russia and chechan tribes

I had joined l2a this year for anthro test series.. even after giving tests on time, I used to get after one month... writing practice aur discussion thik raha... feedback aur timely checking ka expectation mt rakho...@BabaYaga

Worse situation here in anthro...
Wrote 200 marks in paper 1... then 30 marks bakar and 2-2 lines in two questions of 10 marks.
Paper 2 generalistic... no exact answer.. similar to this year gs 2 nd 3@Champak

@Champak

@zombielandthey had said to me same... but I did not recieve any copy before 15 days and many copies after 1 month

@ranyo_asoka
I had also written similar answer. I quoted state wise examples. Kerala - onam is celebrated with jeal and fervour while in Bengal Durga Navratri is celebrated. While people in Bengal have fish curry and rice as maincourse, it is masala dosa in tamilnadu. In north east, we have several pockets within pocket. Naga of nagaland have different food habit and tradition. Even Naga have more than twenty varieties of culture.
But due to impact of globalisation, culture contact is increasing. People in delhi are eating dosa and in banglore, people might be eating punjabi dishes. Not just globalisation, cultural practices have spreading through trade and pilgrimage since time immorial.
Budhism and jainism from bihar has spread to maharastra, nd gujrat.
Et cetera

@Kira0705
Yes, I have seen geography part of paper 1 of vision discussion. It is good. Worth to watch. Impressed by mangrove and coral explanation.

@Jayson_Bourne
I have written exactly in the similar way as u have..

Let us see what is the result.

@dancingminion
Saw 1-2 questions.. being discussed by same faculty of paper 1.

Kuchh jyada hi idealistic answers hain yar. Na to time tha, na hi itne words aur na hi space ki utne points likhe.. question 1 ka hi explain ajeeb lga..
but it is my opinion, u can see urselves.

@Lostmany write write whatever they know rather than what is being asked.

@TeddyWestsideUpsc has published annual reports for 2016 and 2017... u can refer them for latest info.

@chintanmanan
Nothing bro... U r on rock of truth. Donot worry....

Notification me 25% is for both the language papers and not all the papers. You have to secure minimum 25% in both the language papers to be able to see your marks.

@Ravssaid inMains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread:

Bhai, 9 marks milna impossible hai.

UPSC ki notification mein Likha hits hai ki the candidate must get at least 25% marks in all the 9 papers to be able to see his/her marks.

Yakeen Na Aaye you notification Dekh Lena.

Peace.

@TETRACYCLINE
Why so serious bro.. jb aana hoga aayega..

Waise last time, u can see that result was declared on 22nd dec 2018. 76-77 days after last exam. Last exam was on 7th Oct 2015.

@VivekanandSbro... it depends on your priorities... ab mere priorities se Home state ka SDM is better than any service through UPSC except IAS and IPS....

but everyone has their own choice and priorities in life. I left software sector because I did not like job and travelling to office for 1-2 hours. But, many of my friends are doing the job with happiness and satisfaction. I am not happy in my present Engineering job in PSU but many are happily doing without any second thought.

Mujhe personally administration k job m jna hai... but many opt foreign service as first choice...

So, u have to figure out urselves by knowing the job nature and responsibilities...

@NadigVinay
Telegram k group ka link de do plz.... Main v thoda time pass kr lun...

@TETRACYCLINE
But, newspapers have given very little update about protests in Patna...
