@MadamSir said inMains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread:

at a tea stall, some friends were praising shashi tharoor for his 'brilliant speech in lok sabha.' their faces were lit with the light of pure delight for this man.

hearing their discussion, a guy beside them got agitated. he said, 'is desh ki vidambana hi yahi hai ki angrej toh chale gye lekin unki hukumat nahi gayi...'

the friends were startled at this uninvited aggression. they all looked at him.

the guy continued, 'aap log bas koi achhe kapde pahan kar acchi angreji bol de toh uske kaayal ho jaate hain... are aisa kya bol diya tharoor ne jo subah subah uski mahima mandan kar rahe hain?'

'toh angreji bolna gunaah hai kya?' one of the friends said.

‘gunaah toh nahi hai, lekin koi uplabdhi bhi nahi hai,’ the guy said. ‘baat kaise kahi ja rahi hai usse jyada mahatvapurna kya baat kahi ja rahi hai, wo hai. aisa agar nahi hota na toh europaai sabhyata ke sabhi log hum sab se ujjwal hote kyuki wo sab toh angreji bolte hain na.’

‘are premchand, toh aap bhi kuchh angreji padh lijiye.’ the friends smiled at this reply of one among them.

‘nahi kuchh bol pa rahe toh vyang hi toh karenge na… are aap log shakespeare ki thee thou anyhow padhke vidwan bante firte hain… kabhi nirala, nirmal varma, muktibodh jaiso ko bhi padhiye,’ the guy said.

‘aap bhi kabhi nabokov ki lolita padh ke dekhiye… aur suniye, naam sunke sankoch mat kijiyega… manohar kahaniya nahi hai,’ someone else from among the friends said.

‘haan haan aapki quality pta chalti hai, premchand toh padhe nahi honge lekin manohar kahaniya ke baare me itni pta hai… aap log me se kisi ka English literature vaikalpik vishay toh nahi hi hoga lekin mera hindi sahitya hai, samjhe na.’

‘haan toh aap lijiye optional bhavnaaon me beh ke, hum log toh rationally decide kiye hain.’

‘ye aapki galatfahmi hai ki bhavnaaon me behne se number nahi aate hain. Aap log bhi unme se hi honge jo prarambhik pariksha me agar puchh diya jata hai ki Mricchakatika kisne likhi toh bhramit ho jaate hai ki bhasa ne likhi ki sudraka ne.’

fearing that the squabble might go out of hand, the tea seller, trying very hard not to offend them, requested them all to continue their ‘vaartalaap’ at their place, as ‘logon ke baithne ke liye jagah nahi hai.’

both side departed with the feeling that they had won, and that given more time, they would have thoroughly routed the other side.

Happy to see the debate that was common during first year of college hostel. but after living 4 year with diverse people with diverse languages and culture. Now Its feels immature to see others languages through narrow minds.
Be inclusive.

Bhai log life mein bahut kuch sahi nahi hota.
They were given numbers by people of india to do this and they r doing it.
I was in full favour of abrogation of article 370 and even for nrc for assam but cab isnt understandable and neither is nationwide nrc.
As for misguiding youth we r already misguided.I had the chance to study in the elite institutions of the country and had the chance to interact with even more.What is taught in the name of so called humanities optional subject is demeaning of our armed forces and only teaches the good deeds of few people who were there when ncert curriculum,ignou curriculum was designed.
I even had the chance to read whole of ignou course for socio and sometimes feel pity and sad of the way our freedom fighters other than gandhi r portrayed and the extreme negative light in which hindu religion is portrayed.
I had the chance to listen to officers sitting in MEA feel sad of thier extreme orientations.
I had the chance to read the subject "social transformation in india" in one of elite institutions of social science and felt sad of the way kashmir situation is shown.They always talk of pampora case and without proof profs point fingers at army but never told about what had happened before army went there(read girija tikoo gruesome death and rape).They point what is happening today but I know the horrific reality when I ask people like parents and grandparents who had to leave their home,business etc which they had built over years in middle of night.
So dear friends things r never fair in life.
I also feel sad of they way tina dabi is able to get thru pre while someone close to me could not as she was from general category.
I also feel being cheated when obc friends of mine with much better salaries than mine were able to get into better iits and iims than mine with 78 percentile while i could not at more than 99.
I feel cheated when previous goverments brought such a scheme where my sister could only get into lady hardinge medical college with better marks while someone from other caste with lesser marks managed aiims.
I feel cheated when a leader says minorities have first right over nations resources as someone in power needed votes from specific community.
I feel cheated when I paid 8 lakh tax last year while someone with a 35k stipend protests for a increase in fees from 10 rupees to 600.And this 8 lakh was because my parents worn torn clothes 20 years back so that they can save money on their childs educations since the day she is born.
So friends somethings are not fair and mistakes do happen in life whether being born in a specific group,or mistakes from people.
Mistakes might have happened in passage of these bills but government was given power by people of India to enact laws and it is within their right to do so just as it was within right of vp singh govt to bring quota as it was within democratic framework or virtual collapse of abdulla govt in 1990 as it was elected with democratic framework
Jabh pehle mistakes huyi to everybody was quite and we consider it as normal and instead consider what is happening today as mistake.Who knows what happened yesterday was a mistake and what is happening today is correct.

P.S-To comment a move as good or bad we must have knowledge from not only what hindu has been writing but from a wide wide wide range of sources extending over years books and authors.And I believe most of us(99.999999%) arent qualified to do so(including me) don't have it.
So yes some moves will be good for some and bad for otbers.Just as in past even bad moves got passed and many including family suffered so as this time shall also pass.

Unlike comments on the top this was not neutral and was not written as a upsc answer.These are not there to hurt anybody feelings but was a compilation of my experiences and extensive reading of social topics,newspapers and lextures since 2011

You paid 8 lakh tax last year, have got education in IIM. Your sister got into lady harding but Not in AIIMS. Your are among top 20% indian family.

Think about 80% of families who still struggling to get good school for their children. Despite their parents working hard day and night as farmer, labourer, daily wage worker, Autowala, street vendor.

After all these education, you still frustrated. that's more problematic.

@RealMangoAny logic behind ? Did prelims cut off also rise because of EWS ?

so called leaked or fake result pdf. So finely prepared, difficult to find fault. All roll number have been selectively/randomly picked up from prelims qualified.
To check your roll number. Do not use initial zero of roll no. My roll number is also not there.

We seriously need a deterrent against these nonsensical acts. Agar kal ko kisi ne suicide kar liya due to these fake pdfs, who will be responsib

Insiders, fake pdf, all these are symptom of delayed result by UPSC. Jab real pdf aayegi, yeh faltu ke discussion bandh ho jayenge.
