@zombielandHeartbreak!
My analysis for 2019 vs 2018:
- Essay: 10-15 marks bump as 2019 pattern similar to 2018 so no surprises there.
- GS1: Tuffer environmental and physical geogrpahy, easier world history, tuffer society questions. Let's say a dip of 5-10 marks in average scores
- GS2: Polity analytics question were tough, IR tough too, Governance shooting through the roof as question required know how of the ins and outs of it. Easy 10-15 marks dip
- GS3: Tricky questions on GST and Inflation, S&T (cyberdome), heavy focus on agri sector. Expect similar marks to 2018 though because it was nasty too
- GS4: Marked variance from the norm in case studies, higher focus on governance question. Dip of 5-10 marks here
All in all I would say 10-20 marks dip in GS + Essay. Optional varies but after normalisation I hardly feel there can be a any significant movement in mean and distribution from last year. A couple subjects here and there but it happens every year. So, I think 2019 mains cutoff= 774 (2018 cutoff) - (10 to 20)= close to 760.
The Left is a sore loser. The citizens returned the "Right" with a thumping majority in May 2019. This was even after the award-vapsi campaigns, the open letter brigade, their toxic puke on Twitter and what not. 'Intellectuals' united against the incumbent dispensation thinking they knew what was good for the country. But they were proved wrong by the public.
In this all-consuming high-headedness, the Left refused to accept people's mandate and rather continued to undermine it. But, just because some people protest against CAA, it does not mean INDIA rejects it. Violence at JNU is condemnable, but it is not the whole story, is it? Bollywood pricks aren't even good at what they do, suck up to box office when it's time and then drive down from Bandra-Worli to Gateway of India in the pleasant Bombay breeze to preach communism on the side, high on Bombay Sapphire.
The genuine Left wants to live for the country. But the Right wants to die for the country. Ain't no Bhagat Singh no Ram Prasad Bismil. The left opposes every policy from GST to Art 370 abrogation as it wants to live to fight another day. Unfortunately, as romantic as that seems, it has no answer to the Right's ultimate question- "How willing are you to die for your country?"
@Yes_I_am_inSince you have used the words majority, rule of law and constitution vividly, why so much distrust in the Judiciary? Petition the SC and friggin wait for it! You're done with dissent.
You are sadly mistaken my friend- thumping majority means you can do whatever the fuck you want to. The only limitation is that what is off-limits is for the judiciary to decide. But until then, the majority gets to choose what is right.
@pysh12950I don't need a thumping majority to kindly request you to shove it up yours
@John_TitorMate it took more than 7 years to finally set a date to hang the rapists in the horrific assault case. You see that is the problem of the Judiciary. It does not mean you take law in your own hands. You can take out protests forcing the Judiciary to take cognisance or assign priority- this is a noble method to establish accountability of the Judiciary which is hardly present currently. The only alternative to a weak institution in a constitutional democracy is a stronger institution, not going above the head of the institution.
If you incite violence and pick up arms, you're waiving off the limitation on the state to you force upon you. Believe me, you don't want to do that.
@pysh12950See now you're talking. The recourse to the majority could not have been subtler. Damn quick!
Bhai I never discredited people's movement. I am all for it.
The point is that the goverment may not oblige with the movement's or protester's demand as far as it is a policy decision. Because tomorrow folks may take out marches for independence of Kashmir, etc- so you gotta chose what you want to agree to and otherwise. Dissent has its fountainhead in FoE, but some people will always be opposed to a gov decision. Now if the gov which is formed by the majority goes out to please everyone, there will never be any decision to make.
When the movement's demand is on a constitutional question, gov will have to oblige only if the Judiciary says so. Because constitutionalism is not meant to discourage risk taking behaviour for the greater good. Look at what happened to Right to Property. Abrogation of Art 370 is one such step. If SC upholds it, Gov is not obliged to accede to people's movement.

@Behemoth
The prominent media houses in the US are assiduously leftist. Their anti-India bias is overt. Given this, the picture portrayed by Washington Post, NYT, et al hardly does anything to the Modi dispensation.
@BehemothAnswer should be D. Bcoz 2 cannot be the correct answer as revenue output from privatisation may not always be positive. Basically one cannot categorically say that selling HEI would help in reducing Fiscal deficit, esp in long term.
@AzadHindFauzThanks bruv. You have been kind. Meanwhile let's hope for the best!
@AzadHindFauzIn that case UPSC might move really fast on declaring the results. Else others may stake a claim.
@Brian_lara
wtf?
