[ Official ] How was the Prelims 2021 paper?

@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"

@kohliwag I also think same

The Nawabs of the Carnatic are Rowthers.[3] The Nawab of the Carnatic (Arcot) was established by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, who in 1692 appointed Zulfikhar Ali Khan as the first Nawab of the Carnatic, with his seat at Arcot as a reward for his victory over the Marathas led by Rajaram

@mounikamouni24_h944 So it is difficult to say....  that "The Nizamat of Arcot emerged out of Hyderabad State" --- since it is existing even before Hyderabad (1724)

@assistant Sir... emerged out sound that .... Nizamat of Arcot 1st time established from Hyd state... and earlier not exists... (but it is not the case)

Yes u are correct in the sense that Nizamat of Arcot became independent from Nizam of Hyd... but emerged out does not  seem appropiate to me (since emerged out seems like born of Arcot 1st time)



Uday Hua... it seems exaggerated..  but yes Swantanra Hua... seems good 

Rest UPSC will decide

Thanks for reply

Sir.. plz have a look

A state is an organized political community acting under a government. States differ in sovereignty, governance, geography, and interests.

States may be classified as sovereign if they are not dependent on, or subject to, any other power or state. Other states are subject to external sovereignty or hegemony where ultimate sovereignty lies in another state

is separate electrode same as reservation? Just asking 

"The Government of India Act of 1935 extended the principal of communal representation by providing separate electorates for depressed classes (scheduled castes),womenand labour (workers). Indian Councils Act, 1909 also introduced the system of separate electorates for Muslims"

@toooldtodieyoung Sir, may be u are correct... but some events create confusion -- - like in communal award... separate electrode were offered for Dalit (not reservation)... but later after POONA pact .... seats were reserved for them in legislator by eliminating separate electrode... if reservation was implicit then what was the need of reserved seat later in POONA Pact....
