Option A verbatim lifted from here. Don't see any reason for it to be wrong.


you cant be sure about it cause of similar wording.state could be non sovereign too and thats why i think a is wrong.,I could be wrong too.I just believe it is b 

Pol science me theory of state me pdate hai State = Soveregnty+people+territory+Govt. Option A satisfies this criteria.I marked B despite knowing this fml


The funny thing is Shubra ma'am ke notes me verbatim likha h Ar-14 is not rule of law, it is just equality before law. Still in her prelims discussion video, she says that the given statement is a violation of rule of law, so the answer will be article 14. TBH I was expecting her to give a different answer but it seems answer key bnate time sab nayi theories bnane shuru kr dete hai :p 

P.S.- I marked Ar 32 as the answer.

I have also marked Art 32 as answer. I think that only will be answer.


I too marked Art 32. When a friend of mine said that this question was the easiest one in exam and answer is Article 14, i decided to keep my answer to myself :D

At least for 12-15 questions, we cannot say the answers 100% this year. There are innumerable proofs and sources for different options. A person in 70s can get into 90s and a person in 90s get into 70s. So let’s wait for the results which is just 10 days away

@bhuvanamalar1015412 Let me give one simple example this year. The nawab arcot was formed in 1692 and nizam kingdom was formed in 1724. And every institution gave that nawab of arcot was formed from Nizam kingdom 🤦🏻‍♂️

@kohliwag Rightly said... since everyone following Wikipedia.... where they paste line " The Nizamat of Carnatic (Arcot) was a dependency of Hyderabad Deccan and was under the legal purview of the Nizam of Hyderabad, until its demise. Later it emerged out of Hyderabad"

@Purplesunbird it also depends upon the paper. if a paper asks questions on metadata which no one has any clue about, then if such a qs ae 5-6 in number, then add 1-2 to it and it becomes 7-8 doubtful. then its understandable. the 2021 wouldnt have such a situation for 2 reasons- 1, many questions simply had 25% probability, meaning just abcd types and no statements. and 2, the questions themselves are not from unknown sources. the exactness of the papers is rendering less questions open to being doubtful. For ex: the british and india comparision q. the second option is not eliminated if we read it differently. but the answer everyone knows because the source and content of that q is not doubtful. so max 3 questions willbe wrong. however I do make an exception of that one coaching i mentioned earlier. because they are also showing the undisputed ones wrong.

@bhuvanamalar1015412 Only UPSC can reveal our performance. But there is an increasing trend of opacity in upsc since some years 😐

@GOT8 Bhai. I am no one to say which are right. Please excuse me in this regard 🙏🏻. If you are considering all these wrong and you are scoring 75+, you are in race.

Just to clarify, I am not saying the answer is AR 32. I am trying to say that my source was wrong. Most probably the answer is Ar 14 only.

How many people like you are scoring 90 above by marking these as wrong. If there is a good number of persons, then cut off will be higher this year.
