Many questions are open to interpretation.
So guys ...khush ho lo ya dhukhi....ki Maine ye likha hai ...usne waise likha hai....
Ultimately kisi Ko nhi pta ...kisne sahi likha hai.
So ...mujhe lagta hai ...open ended questions me sabko average marks hi milenge

Har koi bc krne me Laga hai.....Apne aap Ko justify krne ki Maine sahi likha hai ya nhi.
Bhai logo...kisi Ko nhi pta kisne kaisa likha hai.
Aur Jo log yahan bol rhe hai ki Maine ye example diya ...maine aise likha etc
Don't worry....kisi ek ya 2 question se decide nhi hoga.
Even if one has written average and completed paer ....wo mains me clear hoga.
My experience of 2017 was....kuch answer excellent likh dene se selection nhi hota hai.
Mera friend jisne just answer likhe and paper complete Kiya wo select hua ...achhaa likhne ke chakkar me...2-3 questions miss kr Dena ...is not a good idea.
And last thing....koi nhi Janta ki examiner Ko kya pasand aayega.

Story telling is not the way to start an essay.
Story can be used in main body of essay.
The reason behind this is that ....in intro one cannot conclude the essay. Aur story ek conclusion hota hai.
Hence ...it is like you have concluded the essay in beginning.....then you cannot discuss it like a debate ... basically by story you already end it.

Apply your mind like an aspirant of IAS not just some viewer of biased media.

@ManchesterUnitedread copy of Act from PRS website.

In Act no such religious persecution is mentioned as the basis for granting citizenship. In fact, Act ye "assume " krta hai ki persecution hua hai.
Religious persecution object and reasons me mention hai lekin clauses of Act me nhi.
2nd issue is clause 6B(3) -->this is discrimination on the basis of religion.
I think here we can apply" doctrine of colorable legislation".
Let's wait ... Supreme court decide kre ....we are here to discuss pros and cons of an Act.

Then you should also listen some other constitutional expert who are opposing this Act.

@kochikaameby the way your statement itself shows political leaning.
Right wing also spread toxicity....see so called big news channels.
Even many of us (IAS aspirant) fall in logic of these media channels-->One of my friend said that government has majority and hence they have right to enact any law...and everyone must respect law passed by the parliament because Parliament is supreme and by opposing the law these protesters opposing the parliament and doing anti national thing.(same logic is given by mainstream media)
But we know that in India constitution is supreme and not the parliament...?

@majormiketangosimple answer to your long post is-
It's not about right or left........ It's about right or wrong i.e. rule of just law.
Second thing thumping majority doesn't mean you can do anything. Thats why to prevent majoritarianism we have constitutionalism.
If majority will decide what is right and what is wrong than there will be no meanings of democracy. And dissent is basic feature of democracy.
