[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.

@Spectrum 
2.0 rent out :
2.1 you are true. muslims not given rent out in hindu house. NOT discrimination. try to understand, when you live in my house, you become my family. so you will get some home-cooked food at different occasions. and being human you will reciprocate. so i have to be sure about it that the person living down stairs have to be my type vegitarian/non-alchohalic/ bla-bla. so ppl from a similar background preffered. 

p.s In Delhi if you are a family and want to get a house on rent, a govt job will make your life easy and a business will make it difficult. 
p.s you quoted enough examples but i dont have actually because the things i am saying wont make news but, caste/religion angle becomes useful for media to add masala.

p.s i can tell you many things category wise but wont elaborate on more. i am not saying ram rajya is there but still its not much.

@Spectrum Ok challenge accepted..i don't think my Parents will not agree :) let's have a social experiment at forum..If  Selected candidates from reserved communities propose to any guy/girls,I don't think anyone would reject it just because of caste or community..Every years so many intercastes marriages are happening successfully, significantly much more than the exceptional horrible incidents that u have mentioned..But media wale ko bhi apna dukan chalana hai..They will present it in a way that can be sold and consumed easily.. Reality is the victims of honour killing are not only reserved communities people but all indians irrespective of their castes..Even among Brahmins honour killing takes place due to difference of gotra(means within same caste),,within same general unreserved category( in between brahmins,rajput,kshatriya,thakur,etc though they all belong to same so called upper castes but such incidents of honour killing happen between them),,among different castes of OBCs,,even among different castes belonging to same reserved dalit community ,,dalit christian vs dalit hindu..Nd all..So point is just by quoting sm common social malpractice whose victims are every single member of this society(irrespective of their social identity n social status) u can't justify an immoral act of grabbing the seats of deserving reserved category ppl..It means if a rich sc/st/obc guy act morally then a well deserving poor sc/st/obc guy will be benefited..It's not about general vs reserved category but rich sc/st/obc vs poor sc/st/obc..It's not about legality it's about morality,, ethics..

Honour killing kyu hota ,,nd caste rigidity kyu hai indian society me kabhi ghar aao baith ke baat krenge.. Sociology optional hai to thoda sa pta hai.. Black lives matter,dalit life matter,,infact  every life matter..Why life should have preference based on colour or caste..No sane person is against reservation,,it's a necessity in an unequal fragmented society like indian society..But ye usko mil nhi rha jisko milna chahiye..Logo ko problem nhi hai ki kis undeserving ko  mil rha benefits,, problem ye hai ki uski wajah se ussi community ke sabse deserving one ko wo nhi mil paa rha..Pure india me bas kucch gine chune mutthi par castes ke logo ne bechare illiterate garib, socially unaware , politically inactive sc/st/obc  ka haq maar le rhe..Ye paap hai..Ghor paap hai..Unn garibo ka baddua lagegaa jo bhi un bechare ka haq maar rhe..

Guys i think the reservation debate should be stopped here.This is not the thread to debate on reservation. The debate is also not fruitful. Also don't try to prove eachother ones point. There are lot of other topics that we can discuss. And if anyone post something on reservation no matter how irrelevant  please ignore that comment as debating on this topic will  create a divide on forum. Lets behave as a mature aspirant and debate on some good topics.....or we can continue our bakar on prelims postponement 😑😑🤔

All those debating reservations issue (especially those opposing reservations) - stop being so "commonsensical" in your arguments and views. You can consider 2 options:


1) Get some book and read about compensatory affirmative action (I suggest you start with Marc Galanter's book Competing Equalities). These are serious debates - don't make them frivolous with your mann ki baat.

2) Forget about all of this and go read for Prelims. (Most preferred option IMO).


Thanks! :)

@iskool what cultural difference precisely you have with a sc/st family? please enlighten..its not cultural difference its acceptance of social hierarchy with respect to caste which we call in other words caste discrimination


SergioRamos,Spectrum

Imbeciles and Nincompoops like the above are EXACTLY the classic example of why casteism still persists and therefore, reservation. 


1. What cultural difference are you talking about? Do upper caste people eat different food or wear functionally differently clothes or worship different gods? WHAT CULTURE MAN? Is it your culture to discriminate between humans? You have no answer for this, hypocrisy knows only one thing, and that is to counter question a question and you will do that. 


2. Read that GODDAMN article properly, the story is about a Hindu not getting rented house by another Hindu. Why the discrimination? Everyone is same. AND, cut the stupidity about alcohol and all those silly reasons, this only shows the prejudiced mindset. Why do you think that only certain people indulge into alcohol


3. For the retard gentleman who asks about my story. No sir, I am from the other side of the spectrum, I am from general category. I know it's hard for you to digest, but I don't care if you feel nauseated. A human stands for other human, get over this sick mentality of thinking that you support only your community even if your community is wrong.


I dream of annihilating caste system and therefore scrapping reservation system forever. I want no such illogical identity for any human. But, unreasonable people like you make my job tougher.


Please for god's sake stop this caste-ism and educate everyone around you to remove this lens of caste and treat everyone as a human. 


Goodbye, keep arguing and indirectly keep contributing to making reservation a permanent thing. I hope some wisdom enters your neural pathways.

If you want to marry any person, be an adult first and have independent decision making. If you are rejecting your love for a silly thing like caste, god bless your existence.

My thought process while answering: - 

1) I don't know whether or not vembanad is largest lake of Kerala. So, I disregarded stmt1 ) for a while....

2) I know for sure that vemband backwaters are from Arabian sea and not of Indian ocean ( because I read somewhere that Nehru trophy - vallamkali boat race happens in Arabian backwaters of vembanad) .. so, the stmt 2 which says of Indian Ocean is wrong...

3) I read in Shankar's ias about wetlands conserve prog. So, vembanad is covered there. Hence stmt3 is correct.

Now, coming to option selection, we have to pick up the incorrect stmts ::-  I  selected an option which has stmt2 (becoz it is false) and which  doesn't have stmt3 ( because it is true) ... Hence I picked option: a)

Even though I don't know the fact that vemband is largest in Kerala, I could thus manage with the combos given in options. Sometimes the papersetter will thus help you with option combos::-
******
Finally, some facts about vembanad::-
It's also known as Kochi / punnamada lake
It is largest in kerala and longest in india
2nd largest Ramsar site in India after sundarbans
It's backwaters are Arabian
It's under wetland conserve prog
It is shrinking now
Kumarakom bird sanctuary is near vembanad lake east coast. 

Hope it helps, sorry for any typos, in transit and using smart (?) Phone. Will check again for mistiked in pc at night

bhai........ some chemical locha is there with you :D 
that much discrimination is human nature. govt also does it.  there is a difference between ppl getting treated in a pvt and govt hospital. 

but your point was discrimination on caste/ religion just because one may be at lower strata. i tried to make you realize perhaps your binoculars are folded and making you understand what you what to....... :)
