@John_TitorAre vision 365 modules enough to cover paper 2 paper 3 or do we need to revise monthly booklets too?
so far current affairs are concerned the booklets cover most of the things but there are few topics in syllabus for which you will have to refer online resources or vision value added material for ex- voluntary sector, cropping pattern etc . Also , try to make notes out of the 365 atleast for the GS3 ,because as exam approaches you will find 365 intolerable due to information overload

Do we have cultural pockets of small India all over the nation? Elaborate with examples
Let me know your approach on this too.
I simply understood it as a question on cultural diversity and went about how there indeed are smaller microcosms of society based on factors of ethnicity, region, language etc. Gave examples. And finally added a point on how the small Indias are indeed a part and parcel of the whole.
I am afraid I addressed it in extremely simplistic way
bihar migrants in Punjab,kerala, bangalore and hyderabad software industry where people from north and south work, effect of programs n TV leading to popularity of gansesha festival even in north india
i wrote on these lines
@Phagocytesaid inMains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread:
@John_TitorOh, but this seems more on cosmopolitanism isn't it?
i interpreted it as pockets where national diversity is getting reflected at a small scale and not just regional varieties. Jese china owns hote hai like that indian towns within India

@John_TitorShameful. They are attacking litigants, media and random pedestrians. Is it just more social media coverage or has lumpenism in all walks of life burgeoned over the course of last few years.
I infer it's kind of both. The ubiquitous presence of camera and internet has meant that now every slightest bit of disturbance has the potential of getting reported, at the same time people have also become more violent due to the demonstration effect of social media; thus creating a vicious cycle of reporting of crime spurring even more crime imho.

@zombielandDo you really think SC and EWS will score more than general in upsc. If this is the case, then there is possibility that in pre also most of them would have scored above gen cutoff. So automatically, gen cutoff again will be higher as these candidates will be treated on par with gen cat. State and bank exams prepare list callously, but in upsc gen cutoff will always be highest.
hypothetically its possible. even if reservation candidates score higher in all stages but use age relaxation they will not be treated as general, so cutoff will be greater than general.

I once went to a local elec. office. Now they had these forms for different types of work. Now there was a middleman who used to come at a designated time outside the office, took a nominal charge(Rs30,40) and filled the form for the people(most of whom were semi-literates or workers in some rich house). This was 2013 and e-gov was not the buzz. Yes, they could have made the forms easy, but they got ir from the 'top'. Now,
- The people:happy(by paying a small amount there forms would be filled correctly and work be done)
- Staff:happy(correct forms, extra earnings)
- Middleman:Happy
This was uptown Lucknow and there would be plenty of such offices in the district alone. Now, how would you solve this problem?

dont spend too much time on current affairs. google the headings given in syllabus and prepare them out of vision value added, books, internet etc . A lot of us ignore the syllabus and waste our time in CA hunting. for ex you would be spending a lot of time on economy current affairs but the syllabus gives clearly headings like Land reforms, LPG, crop pattern, irrigation, Infra(Niti new india report) ...all of this is static to a great extent. Actually there are only few questions that are entirely dependent on currant affairs.
unless your optional is like psir where current affair cant be ignored, vision booklets are more than sufficient. If you feel like making notes for mental satisfaction just select 3 editorials everyday and jot down imp points

@AzadHindFauzyou might want to look into Phillip Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment (there's also a Netflix movie about it). It was to find out how often people conform to social roles given to them in a mock prison environment. It was one of the most controversial experiments in social psychology. They recruited few random people to act as prisoners and guards in a controlled situation. It had to be stopped midway because he found that the people assigned the roles of prison guards were becoming increasingly violent, abusive and indulged in dehumanising behaviour towards to prisoners, even when they knew that they are just innocent people acting as prisoners. Experiment concluded that people conform to their social roles even when it goes against their moral principles, and that situational factors (power, authority) are more responsible for this behaviour than dispositional factors (they themselves).
Conformity has also been cited with respect to racism in America post Trump win because they're are situational factors like power, authority, wide acceptance to provide backing people's racist thoughts which otherwise would have been dismissed - so now they assert such things more so often.
reminds me of lord of the flies. something similar happens in it , though it's a philosophical fiction.
