[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021
Because of the corona virus issue? If it does not happen then worst affected will be people whose interview is stuck, around 600-700 such people I think are yet to appear for their interview.
@neyawn sir and others, what is your take?
This is the official Thread for discussion of Prelims Postponement, Please do not create new threads for the same.
some doubts
a) Is aryan invasion still considered as probable reason for fall of IVC
b) will upsc ask questions like military exercises list ( i think they will be asked in bank exams)
c) are awards based questions asked in upsc (--do--)
a.) some historians do consider this
b.) They can ask, just a yorker question, in case, match the following may be
c.) yes Indira Gandhi Peace Prize was asked in 2015, ISRO was the answer for that year.
Edit: was in 2015 prelims
Indira Gandhi Prize for Peace, Disarmament and Development for 2014 was given to which one of the following?
(a) Bhabha Atomic Research Centre
(b) Indian Institute of Science
(c) Indian Space Research Organization
(d) Tata Institute of Fundamental research
sulawesi,
@Patootie it's not about sc/st vs general..Its about rich sc/st vs poor sc/st..its about deserving obc vs bogus obc..It's about morality bro..For the sake of Untouchability few rich sc/st/obc are robing their own brethren of their due legal social rights..Not fair..Unke baddua lagenge bhai..Garib sc/st/obc ko apne untouchability ka bahana krke unko loot rhe paap hai bhai ,,ghor paap.. General people like me are happy if reservation is being exercised by right sc/st/obc people
That's because the rich/more privileged sc/st are capable of being your competition while the less privileged manual scavenger is not. Untouchability is never a "bahana" no matter how rich you become.
I don't think there is any need to paint yourself as the crusader for the voiceless.

Guys can someone tell how is the quality of KSG test series for prelims as I have seen on so many platforms people recommending that? Also if not then suggestion for any other test series apart from Vision as I have already tried that.
They are paid reviews. You must have read them on quora. Just open the profile of all those people who have recommended their test series. Every profile has same bio and only 1 answer.
Ps - not commenting on quality of test since i have not attempted them . They might be best in the market. Just telling that the reviews are paid.

@sulawesi Aryan Invasion Theory has been discredited. Many excavations recent being at Rakhigadhi have found there is no such thing as 'aryan gene'. Just another myth to create faultlines by historians (distortions).It's Time to cleanse the rubbish our books peddle.Study published here:https://www.cell.com/action/showPdf?pii=S0092-8674%2819%2930967-5
It has not been discredited. The paper you've referenced was misreported in the media for a long time. There are more convincing proofs of Steppe migration than any other theory.
But I doubt if UPSC would ask this.

I was silently just going through the thread to see if there was any information on prelims. The crass arguments against the reservation system forced me to login.
You know what's sad? Those who don't even understand what kind of discrimination SC/ST community members face, have given interviews in civil services exam this year. It's not just sad, but appalling, abhorring and abominable. You inhuman beings are rotten pudine ke jhaad with zero utility.
Before I make any arguments,
All those who think that Rich/Well Read/Govt Officers who belong to SC/ST community do not face discrimination. I HAVE A CHALLENGE FOR YOU.
STEPS TO FOLLOW FOR THE CHALLENGE:
1. GO TO YOUR PARENTS/ELDER RELATIVES IN YOUR HOUSE AND SAY GOOD EVENING.
2. ASK THEM IF THEY WILL ALLOW YOUR SIBLING/COUSIN TO MARRY AN IAS OFFICER/RICH PERSON BELONGING TO SC/ST COMMUNITY, BE IT ARRANGED OR LOVE MARRIAGE.
3. RECORD THE AUDIO/VIDEO OF THAT CONVERSATION and THEN COME POST IT HERE.
4. AND THEN, HAPPILY AND JOYFULLY POST ALL YOUR ARGUMENTS AGAINST RESERVATION.
The discrimination faced by SC/ST has least to do with poverty/economic inequality. It's the social inequality that has plagued them from thousands of years. If you don't at least understand this, please quit your upsc preparation. You'll do more harm than good as a civil servant.
For those who are unaware of what kind of discrimination SC/ST face:
1. Doesn't matter what the guy/girl does, doesn't matter how educated or rich he/she is. Doesn't matter how good of a human being they are, THEY WILL SIMPLY NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR MARRIAGE. You know what? Guys have been killed just because they belonged to SC/ST and they married so called upper caste girls. UNDERSTAND THE GRAVITY NOW? LIVES WERE TAKEN OFF FOR NO REASON. Kabhi news bhi pad liya karo dimag khol ke.

2. Houses are not rented out. Doesn't matter even if you eat vegetarian food. You will be simply shown the door.
3. When it comes to postings in government jobs or facilities in job location. Doesn't matter even if you are an IAS, you will face discrimination.
4. Even if you have the same set of skills, you will be discriminated against the applicants from so called upper castes.

This is just the tip of the ice-berg. The subtle yet ferocious psychological trauma that one faces is beyond any physical pain. One feels like, am i even human like everyone else? why am i being treated differently at every step. If only were you in their shoes, would you understand the nerve wrenching experience associated with the existence.
Now I'm not claiming every SC/ST person to be a saint, I agree that just like in any community, there are some bad humans in this too, but they are in minority. There are a majority of SC/ST humans who are peaceful, neutral, just minding their own lives and yet being made to feel like why are we even born. No one deserves such undignified existence. Everyone needs to be treated like humans and IT'S YOU, ME AND EVERYONE else who need to RECOGNISE THIS FACT and STAND UP FOR THEM and MAKE THEM FEEL LIKE THEY ARE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.
What's ironical is that so many of us tweeted for BlackLivesMatter, but how many of us know that caste-ism and racism are very similar and yet, no one bats an eye for this. There have been international sanctions on countries for practicing racism and in our country, this oppression happens just like it's everyday business.

I can share so much more on this, but I hope that some of you understand what the discrimination is about and what you can do to make our society better. The change, my dear friends, starts from educating your near and dear ones. Ghar badlo toh desh badlega.
I know some of you will be like media is reporting one side, toh bhaisaab let me tell you, i've seen all of this happening right infront of my eyes. Ab mai tumhara topper toh hu nahi jiski baat aap blindly maan jaoge. Isliye news articles daalne pade.
Bye for now.

Agree with many points .. but as far as marriage is concerned a brahmin boy cant marry a sc girl even.. girl family ll be ostrasized by their own cast panchayat ... My own brother married a girl frm obc community and we had to face many challanges... their family was threatened . The father did nt even do the kanyadan .. long story.. marriage thing is more complicated .
There is also a positive side to the cast discrimination story in india today .... u ll nt find ny political party having a biased attitute towards lower cast or preach castism.. And this things are gradually improving.. Atleast in our generation.. My own roommets in college times were dalits .. who cld have thought that 50yrs back.. The hate spreaded by few militant organisation and left are showing only one sided story with many layers to it.. It is causing more social fragmentation ...
as directed by chanakya, i wrote test-33 of gsscore. 63 attempted. 57 correct .. final score 110/200.
final comments:- could have done better by answering 3 or 4 more bits.
i should work on some advanced macro economics sort ( if at all they be asked), and some current affairs part in depth..

1. marriage : yes! i dont feel ashamed to admit that my family will not accept. but brother some other thing need to be understood.
1.1 to be precise my father didnt agree to marry in any upper caste as well ( i declare I belong to one so-called upper caste)..... for that matter any other caste than my own.
1.2 even father of that SC/ST girl wont be ready for our marriage and vica versa as well.
1.3 my father wont be ready to get me married in muslim family as well.
1.4 my father wont be agreeing to get me married with IVANCA TRUMP/ aishwarya rai as well.
i hope its not difficult for you as well to get it.
this is NOT discrimination. this is a cultural difference if you are in middle class it matters a lot.
suddenly if I get settled in USA, my dad may ignore this and allow me to get married in any family probably considering the fact that my society has changed now.
HENCE, I MAKE IT CLEAR THAT I CANT MARRY RANK 93 GIRL THIS YEAR IF I AM LISTENING TO MY FATHER. IF I TOP THE EXAM NEXT YEAR THEN ALSO LITTLE CHANCE TO CONVINCE HIM. ONLY OPTION IS I HAVE TO SETTLE IN USA WITH A MAALDAR JOB!!
p.s you misunderstood the reservation, sc/st thing.
