Mains 2021 Result declared - In or Out?

In this essay on hand  that rocks the cradle

I didnt cover about motherhood( didn't even think for a second about motherhood) 

I focussed on issues of vulnerable sections like farmers, climate refugees, environmental etc,

wrote from governance and administration view. 

Interpreted the term hand as a nation .. Those nations whichnurture(interpreted it from cradle)their citizens and their needs can rule the world on developmental parameters. 

Started with darwin struggle for existence and survival of fittest. For survival of any Nation or an individual, it is important to recognize their needs and ensure their development, otherwise civil war and ultimately society will get collapsed. For this, nurturing of all citizens is important. 

Somewhere in between also gave examples of Afghanistan taliban issue, French revolution

I guess I deviated a lot and wrote rubbish

like in afghanistan i wrote how usa and other powers in pursuing their self interest destabilised the region resulting emergence of taliban. taliban can't rule by coercion or legitimise its rule unless it recognises the needs of vulnerables like women and other ethnic communities.
in french case i wrote how church ruling was overthrown by society as it created stratification and how ideals of french revolution equality liberty fraternity still guiding the other nations like adopted by our own constitution.
in economic aspect, explained though we have improved our ranking in ease of doing business but still lagging in world human capital index. we cannot aspire for $20trillion economy unless we solve the issues of unemployment low skills education issues etc.

Hope upsc takes liberal interpretation.otherwise biggest blunder done in essay.

Rocks the cradle symbolises nurturing. It can be by anyone and of anyone not necessarily by woman and or a child

in essay on perception of me is reflection of u,my reaction to you is an awareness of me,  wrote one dimension as : pls tell is it right?

the perception of woman as weak gender reflects the patriarchal nature of society  and government responses in the form of creating awareness, promoting women empowerment through schemes like stand up india shows the reaction of government against gender inequity and awareness  towards the needs of women.

@masteroptimist Yes, Part B koi easy nahi tha 😭. Uske 10 markers bahut bekar likhe gaye woh aur.


unka 70 marks 15 min me hua hai

relevant nai likhte toh ho chuka tha selection

mereko agar time issue bhi hai aur relevant points sare pata hain toh meri first priority hogi quality maintain karna na ki quantity. infact wo acche answers me bhi aa sakta hai 

toh tension mat lo
