good chance that it’s going to be 2&3. Never expected that UPSC would play with the language this way !

no man ! I have spoken to a history professor. He has shared some write up. It’s clearly mentioned that Ali Muhammad got Back katehar due to Ahmad shah Abdali invasion and then he changed the name to rohilkhand. 


The word “ formed “ in the third statement is making it different from the first two statements. 

oh man i really hope that's the case, im sitting on edge around 90-92 GM. Hoping any one doubtful question goes my way(though so far, all are expected to go against me).

Yeah bro. Even I was trying to know the correct answer since a week. And I was getting similar info. But after seeing that document, it was more or less clarified that it’s 2&3

Even in my own google search, I found this long ago. This was directly from rampur district court website. And the word “ formed “ is making it different from the first two statements. Emerge is something very specific. Formed can be a little more general.

see nizamat of arcot was formed in 1692 whereas state of hyd was formed in 1724. Arcot become dependent on hyd for sometime.

Article 14 means people should not be treated unequally in eyes of the law right ! But if the government imposes a draconian law (but without discrimination, oppresses everyone equally)..is it violation of 14 or sm other article? Can sm1 shed light..only for conceptual clarity

I wanted to ask someone about this. How are people saying that 90-92 is edge ? Or below 90 have less chances etc ? I am not seeing too many people crossing 95/100 even after taking few doubtful questions right. And almost nobody crossing 105 and comfortable with CSAT as well. 

Last time I saw many people crossing 110 and even 120-130. And ofc quite a good number of people above 100. But cut off ( even if we consider the questions were not deleted ), didn’t cross 95. 

So honestly speaking, this time I guess the cut off is being misjudged.

Yeah that’s what I was saying. The statement given is not about emerging. It’s about formation. See Hindi translation. It’s given as “ ghatan “ which means to build. 

Abdali played a role in consolidation of katehar into the kingdom of rohilkhand. examiner played with the language in this question I feel

bro as per me, you should get around 100, because I don’t see any point in taking smelting, magnetite and Chenab as wrong. And epf is 2&3 as per many people that i spoke to, even lawyers and chartered accountants. And see Hindi translation. He gave it as “ hakhdar “ for casual workers which is not true. 

And obviously today we are getting some clarity that arcot is 2&3
