Hi all,
This is my first post. Since the mains exam, one thing has been going in my head regarding the essay paper.
In section B, I attempted the 8th question - "Just because you have a choice, it does not mean that any of them has to be right".
Contrary to the Hindi translation of 'right' i.e. 'sahi' , I interpreted 'right' in the fundamental rights, etc. context. I defined choices and rights.Rights - as claims of individuals against state. Choices - as decision making, speech, practicing religion, etc.
I just want to know if anyone else has done the same. I began the essay with the Anuraddha Bhasin case, where the Supreme Court has allowed the 'choice' of using internet as a right for freedom of expression & profession, but fell short of recognising it as a fundamental right itself. Thereafter, I explored 3 broad headers:
- "not all choices can be rights"
- "some choices have to be rights"
- "There's need of a balance between choices, rights & responsibilities."
Would UPSC allow such interpretation of the question? Any inputs are appreciated.
- Not all choices can be rights
