PSIR - Strategy, resources & discussion

This is a western worldview wrt India and we have embraced it like many of other their views for us had been accepted either readily or reluctantly. for example The land of serpent.

Apart from what other said about qualities of elephants which is more or less similar to India like its huge size, its nature of calm & compose until one poke their nose, non aggressive in nature, (India can also be depicted as Royal Bengal Tiger or Lion but it didn't either by west or even by us( our leaders/worldview from Nehru to S. Jaishankar have never tried to imitate the notion of Western POWER or try to somewhat project India as a non aggressive power).

I would like delve into another aspect - regarding why India is often compared with elephant. A historical view. The first historical encounter of West (Greek world) with us was happened during the time of Alexander and his army for the very first time met with an army which employed a very new kind of war machine i.e; Elephant. This was their first experience of use of elephants in battle field.

Have anyone of you noticed that PSIR 2019 result wasn't upto that level which it's known for(280/290+) as in 2019 Vishaka Yadav scored just 246, which is quite unusual for topper. This might be anomaly. But even another rank holder Mukund Kr(rank 50+), who scored 221. And both of them performed relatively poor in paper 2nd, scored 107 and 97 respectively. And both of them performed good because of their high GS scores. I have read few answers of Pari Bishnoi but didn't able to find her marks. 

I have come across only Mahajan Sumit Rajesh(rank 200+), who got 286 marks.

And if I'm correct then this year also not many candidates from PSIR background have qualified for interview as compared what I usually see.

So, what is the reason behind the low score of PSIR toppers? Moreover is it because of UPSC "fanda" to start giving high marks in one optional as compared to other. I mean there overall tactics to become lenient in one particular GS paper and in optional and to become quite strict in others. OR SR notes is not at all sufficient for paper 2(which indeed the case but if one go by previous year toppers, it doesn't seems). Orare we not able to fulfill the requisite demand of the questions especially in paper 2.
