Hello guys .. alot of bloodshed has been happening so please dont beat me or cuss at me when I say this ..

so I spoke to one of my professors at DU (Political science department) about that polity question - safeguards of liberty in a liberal democracy and she definitely says the answer is Elected Government. She said though separation  of powers and rule of law are other ingredients but all of them wont be possible if a state does not have anelectedgovernmentat first (also the question specifically says liberal democracy) .. only then those things can be assured.  She also told me that with respect to such questions - read some philosophers (even if not from an optional background) like Aristotle, JS mill , Berlin etc  in free time and that may in general invoke some interest. Also despite my background in this subject , I haven’t taken PSIR optional so don’t think that I am in anyway advertising any optional .. just putting an end to this debate of “one of many interpretation “based questions.

I too marked Elected government option but ye wala galat hai. Mera 2 polity ke mistakes bahut bhaari padne wale hain. Doosra Article 32 mark kiya maine.

Yaar unhone bola toh correct Elected govt hai .. I asked an expert to finally put an end to this debate ki kya hoga ..

even I marked that article wala question as 32. Some stupid mistakes of polity and economy(like that last resort question)is also going to cost me alot .. 

probably your expert isn't so expert. because there is a difference between elected government and elected government by universal adult franchise

Oh acha! Itna specific hona padta hai .. ki matlab universal adult franchise bhi mentioned ho.. 

maybe yaar you are right. My source is an LSR professor who teaches political theory and constitution from the past 20 years and has written many things on this topic so I thought she would not be wrong in this.

Lets see :) 

Analyse the options

B - concentration of powers

D - separation of powers

Go through any paper of upsc and you will find that whenever such opposite options are present thn answer is always one of the options. And out of the two options, separation of powers is the relevant option.

Moreover, elected govt option itself is incomplete and vague. Baaki one can go into the political science theory and research papers but that will yield nothing.

@rawhull So people are this delusional that they go to any extent to prove their answers to be right.. to the point of discrediting respectable authors...what are you gonna do next.?rewrite special theory of relativity just because you assumed speed of light to not be constant


Lol i schooled someone to prove that speed of light is actually constant. And I'm sharing official data the indus water treaty document. where is delusion? maybe it's with you who feel experts can't make mistakes. But i understand your scores may have put you along such vulnerable lines that such revelations may be intimidating to you.


Khuller sir is nice and great but how can you ignore indus water treaty document that says Chenab includes pajnad. would have added the link but you don't deserve my effort go search for it.so exit your "bhakt mode" and stop bhakti of intellectuals. they can make mistakes too.

making matters worse,the correct answer of mitochondria diseases is not b or C but A. btw looking at level of "intellectual ko baap banao" and "intellectual are never wrong but official bilateral document brokered by world bank can be wrong" trending flawlessly in india I truly feel "desh sankat main he" Tum wo log ho jo agar kal kisi acclaimed author ne keh diya india is communist to bologe ha india is communist, official preamble ka kya he, acclaimed author ne to communist bola😂😂😂 kher i understand taqleed hui he apko, kyuki ab Sutlej essentially wrong ho chuka he. to dhua to aap nikaloge hi😂

Even after 13 days, candidates are hell bent in proving their opinion and answer correct. 


Padh lo mains ke lie.. UPSC won't change it's key bases on how strong your argument is. 



It's an utterly futile exercise to debate about an answer. because UPSC khud nahi jaanta. 


Paper setter would be laughing seeing the level of hair splitting going on here. Wo bhi sochenge -Humne to itna socha hi nahi paper set karte samay.. Ye kya  bakwaas chal rhaa hai aspirants ke beech me. 



Sachchai yahi hai ki UPSC pre ka paper kachra hai.. And isko nikalne wale koi intellectual nahi hain.. And upsc ye baat jaanta hai

People referring to IWT read this. 


1.Preamble to the IWT is not having any absolute terms. It mentions the possibility of challenging the terms of the treaty with respect to application of any provisions


2.Article 1(2) Defines what a tributary is and Article 1(3)(i) states categorically that the five rivers doesn't come under the scop of the term tributaries as given in Article 1(2) . Reading these two together can make the question itself absurd if we take this as a source. 


3.It is written that Chenab SHALL be deemed to include panjnad. This apart from the geographical aspects of the confluence of the two rivers read with the Political boundaries has nothing to do with the hydrology. Also, SHALL is equivalent to MAY when it comes to interpretation of a statute. 


4.Hydroelectric projects in Chenab tributaries are carried out by India and they are opposed by Pakistan. We are supposed to hold the ground which is favourable to India and Not Pakistan which enjoys the luxury of having the hydrological confluence of the rivers in her territory. 


5.The answer is Sutlej. Take A SS and wait till the answer key next year

@rawhull So mr subject expert..in your delusional eyes there was a specific mention of "in the context of Indus water treaty" in the question right!!Also ever heard of dunning kruger effect ? please google and look at yourself..seems you are a patent manifesation of such a phenomenon

@rawhull From your assumptions i can glean a few things..only mr subject expert(whatever your name is) has access to and knowledge about a 60 year old water sharing agreement but not the editors or publishers of a relatively popular geography text book..Neither do the editors at Britannica have any idea of such an agreement and that panjnad is indeed chenab(according to your wild assumptions)

@Abishek46  Excuse Me, Brother ! Question explicitly mentions " it meets Indus direct", how come Chenab meets Indus direct. Brother "direct" ? Direct Direct.

@Admgenalanezh I specifically mentioned it was him who assumed chenab to meet indus direct and not me...i am as confused by the question but still i would rather stick with sutlej..the mention of which i can find in atleast two sources
