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.
What is difference between a "babu" and "civil servants"?
Babu keeps on digging for unnecessary facts and figures to establish the given statement ; mostly got into confirmatory bias.
Civil servant goes with the simple, logical and rational points to establish the given statement.
And there is a "silver line" between becoming babu or a civil servant.

Excellent work.
About that minister waala question, statement 1 takes too simplistic a view of constitutional provisions. The qualifications for being a minister have to be taken within the framework of parliamentary democracy.
A person not qualified to be a MP/MLA cannot be appointed as minister, under any circumstances. However I still see a fallacy against this line of argument- *if a person less than 6months away from his 25th birthday is appointed a minister* but this seems to be a rather extreme exception.a finer analysis of constitutional provisions and it's philosophy is required to discern a trend.
A similar controversy was over whether a person can be made minister for 6 months without being a legislator, and then again be appointed for another 6 months. A simplistic analysis of provisions will find this not explicitly against constitutional provision, however the supreme court has ruled such appointments to be unconstitutional and thus void. Rulings on ordinances also reveal a similar philosophy.
Hence it is prudent to see these provisions from a broader perspective, and try to see the consequences of respective cases. Appointing an 18-24 year old citizen as minister for 6 months ridicules the fundamentals of parliamentary democracy, which requires ministers to be elected from parliament, and be responsible to it. A person who's not qualified to be elected as a member cannot possibly be expected to be responsible/bound by parliamentary principles, and so on the whole, statement 1 appears to be fallacious.
P.S. please review this from mains gs 2 perspective.
Your argument seems to be logical. But ,the ultimate fact is UPSC itself is not so logical. If we can put this debate of right and wrong answers aside ,then we all can agree on one fact that UPSC at times frames incomplete ,illogical and ambiguous questions and this question (and several other questions like AI type ) is an example of this careless approach of UPSC in framing questions.100 fool proof questions can be framed , but in the end nobody cares for poor aspirants.
Yeah upsc get 1 year to make 100qus and in that too they make mistakes in translation.. subjective ambiguous qus . Vision do a better job and they make 4000 qus a year . We were ranting on vision for putkut etc qus ... Those qus were better . 😁

I will review this from csat perspective. A person means he can be either< 25 years, 25 years, or >25 years. In Question it is not mentioned all the eligible voter. So from this angle answer has to be A. However upsc can say it's not csat paper and answer is D.
