Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread

@vvvikas0078212
While opposition to NRC on the basis of lack of documents is valid but i dont understand the basis on relegious grounds CAB specificaly mentions 3 countries so if i am a hindu from kerala who has no documents how am i going to prove i belonged to those countries and came before 2015 and get citizenship under cab during NRC?

Bro we are looking for different politics from our youth but even they have continued the status quo of disrupting public life damaging publich property and gheroing while the tech savy youth have multiple methods of protests available to them now, aur media nd social media has largely covered in favour of these students picturing them as revolutionaries

Aaplog kya bol rahe ho a democraticaly elected goveenment passed a law throug due process as given by the constitution now the constitution has given judiciory as a means through which the law can be challenged. By taking to streets and burning down buses trains and public property to pressurise government to withdraw its stand is pure text book definition of fascism its not peacful protests and primary duty of any state is to maintain law and order so cops are justified to use force. U cannot have your way in the streets and expect police not to retaliate, by supporting such acts you are degrading the constitution which you claim to hold in such high regard

Bhai u where talking about majoritarian government, in a democracy government is always majoritarian and constitution has laid down procedures through which such government should function and if it does not judiciory is a mean through which majoritarianism can be checked
And for students political activism its well and good but in this current scenario in the name of students politics violence was set loose such methods of "political accountability" is never good

Marxian concept me sab hi sab opression hoti hai they cant see past that lense, but on an another note if most of the government funding goes for hostel and canteen subsidy and leaa amount for research purposes which was the rationale given by the administration how do u see research and knowledge generation progressing in our country especially when it is so low

My 3rd mains last 2 times i did not join any test series so completion of paper quality and structure of answer was poor but this time i did join test series and i feel i hav done well on structuring and content part except for avg pergormance in gs 1 alomg with bouncer in optional paper 2. Few people i have talked to who has given interview has laid stress on completion of paper and avg content, and most of all your inner feeling after the exam is also a good guide if you feel you have performed well then chances are good for you

@kochikaameit was not a random woke liberal but rather manybdemocratic congress members starting from bernie sanders elizabath warren who are potential nominees of democratic party as well as ilham omar who is part of the "squad" lead by cortez who is growingly influential in that party and India sees it as part of interfering in its internal affairs.
And modi did not exclusively endorse trump but it was more under the carpet endorsement where various signals where sent in the light of these statements from them.
And previously othere leaders like cameron and former canadian and australian pm has shared stages on diaspora events in order to woo indian voters to vote for their parties so this is not the first time its happening and various countries have actively used their diasporas to influence stand of parties and government and i dont necesserily see it as a bad thing if it is done sublimenely

2.2k views

@AequitasTrue. There are reports of recently concluded u.k election where loads of indians shifted their votes to torreys after labour had issued very anti India resolutions on Kashmir. If diaspora is our strength which it is we should actively use it to further our intrests which is the basics of diplomacy

2.2k views

@John_Titorwe where not the first one to interfere into domestic politics but democrats actively interfered in ours and on many cases there has been reports of pakistani lobyists and citizens tryn to influence them. We shouldn set the precident of letting forign representatives interfere on cases which are crucial for domestic intrests.
In case of malysia and influence of China they resisted criticizing china on uighur issue but called india as an occupying force here again if they dont respect our domestic sensitivities and intrests of india we shouldn cow down worrying about other factors and let every country bully us which will again show us on a negative light diplomaticaly. And in case of China and its increasing influence in south east asia, south china sea dispute and increasing cooperation bw india and vietnam indonasia philipines is a positive sign

@TETRACYCLINEto be perfectly honest i dont think anyone can be 100% confident of clearing mains, there are many subjective factors at play during the correction process. At most one can be optimist about the result and not ceartain

@TETRACYCLINEthis waiting has made me numb and dont feel any anxiety at all about the results anymore which probably is a good thing as it saves from unecessery stress and tension.
On a side note what i feel it is mostly first timers who gets (over) confident of clearing mains and brag about it while experienced ones are always cautious in telling how they have writtem the exam

@John_Titoru cannot allow using the fear of china against us that will allow every country to bully us and use china card to arm twist us and sacrifice our core intrests and influence of china is a reality and our neighbour hood will actively use China for further investments in their countries irrespective of how magnanimous we are so its better we accept that reality and work with china on these fronts and actively try to increase our influence in chinas neighbour hood as a counterbalence.
USA did not follow altruistic diplomacy with pakistan it rather wanted to protect its bases in afganistan and for settlement there of which pakistan has major role.
China is also a major bully in diplomacy but they actively use carrot and stick to further and protect its intrests.
My entire point is fear of repurcusions should not be guiding our policy when it comes to protecting our core intrests as it would show us as a meek country and sometimes show of strenth in different ways is benefitial

@John_Titori was talking about how our neighbours like nepal and more recently bhutan use china card to play on our fears of increasing influence of china and on south east asia i was talking how china bullys those countries especially in south china sea dispute to further its intrests but still hav healthy diplomatic relations in those areas.
Anyways i agree we have different views on the subject so lets agree to disagree✌?
