Mission Mains 2021 - GS Paper 2 & 3
This is for those of you who are planning to write Mains 2020 ( subject to prelims happening ) and we clearing it. Nevertheless, in this time of lull, I am iniviting all people to come up with Mains related study material and Daily Q & A. I will be regular with the newspaper, my self and try to post questions. Anyone else interested, please contribute!
Let us have separate thread for GS Paper 4 & Essay as GS 2 and 3 are largely from current, and we can pool lot of questions.
If @root can help to pin it up, then we can begin with a small group.
Will help in daily accountability.
@root,@Neyawn, @forumiasacademy,and others, can you guys tell me what exactlyPrewritingin the essay evaluation parameter of ForumIAS essay tests. Also please suggest a few examples of agood Prewriting.
P.S: There is no good thread on Essays so posting here.
walterwhit3,IamThatSo I was wondering what exactly is a good Prewriting going to look like. Also, how crucial is it in real essay paper.
@Villanelle Thanks. Although I knew that it's the basic structure that one usually expands in the essay. But Forum has got it as one of the 4 evaluation parameters and I got average in this field in one of my essay tests :P.

Bhai, if I am guessing correctly, the brainstorming part, it is good to have at least 1 page of brain storming. In my first Mains I had taken a pencil and eraser, and made some rough things, then erased it. Don't know why I erased it. Maybe to have the paper look clean. I also didn't get marks that year, though I had written ( as per my understanding ) a very good essay.
It is a good idea to keep it. Examiner ko dekhne do ki apan ne mehnat ki hai.
chamomile,
@rashiv Would you want to suggest topics for making brief pointers?
For GS 2- comparing Indian president with American president (since it is election year + comes under comparing constitutions)
For GS 3- a radical suggestion. Before prelims, there was an initiative where few students got together and compiled notes of 1year of Down to Earth. Willing participant chose 1 month each and they got it done. Maybe we could do that for NITI Aayog 3 year plan

Is 3 year AP worth the effort?

I’m open to other document/report also.
Coming to worth the effort, it may get the job done for economy syllabus completion to a far extent + help with fodder point for GS 2.
Will questions come from it ? I doubt.

Presidentialisation of a Parliamentary system has the ills of both Presidential and Parliamentary System. Shashi Tharoor has given some very good views on this.

I had made notes of the NITI strategy document quite a while back.
Attaching it to cut down some efforts here.
P.S. The notes have been divided into two documents with relevant portions from gs 2 and 3 respectively.
P.P.S. Advance apologies for the excessive clumsiness.

Excellent Work Boss. God bless you for sharing this.
Can someone tell me a good source to cover RPA and electoral politics? Avoid suggesting something that has to be bought from RN.
If you analyze 10 years PYQ on this subject, it's most related to the current issues of electoral politics which are in news, mostly like criminalization, voting behavior (factors influencing votes), electoral reforms (EVM, simultaneous elections etc)
Therefor i believe, keeping an eye for the current developments and covering the basics from the Act itself would be a good strategy. Plus you'll get a lot of fodder from Secure questions and the test series you would be appearing for.
Hope this helps.

Amazing notes. Really helpful. Wish you the very best in this exam. If you have something similar for 2nd ARC and for any other GS subject then please do share. Keep up the awesome work.
