[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021

@Palakkhinvasaea  I think Banian were just 'middleman' who could serve any European Merchant and Gomastas were Agents specific to East India Company. This book  (Aurung is also asked in same context )also demonstrates the same: https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/id/760552aa-5d1f-413d-9e3c-dc7a9d48c837/625263.pdf

AI question was simpler than many other questions because the 5th statement was outrightly wrong. But ye coaching waale apne   'D' ke funde ke chakkar me sav ka dimaag kharab kar diyein.

Bhailog koi 'Banian' waale question pe v dhyaando......http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Banians ; is link se padhne pe to 'Indian agent of EIC' galat lag raha hai.....sav coaching waale is option ko v sahi bataaye hain.....What you people think about this question?... mujhe to Banian specifically EIC ka agent nahi lag raha hai.....they were private agent of EIC officials and other Europian traders

@rafael  For Gomastah, it is specifically written in the document that they were the agent of the company, but nowhere it is mentioned for Banians.

@Equalizer In GS paper this time scoring above 100 was very difficult in the exam hall, in the first look. Only those who used the 'D' trick in the exam hall for S&T could score well, others definitely struggled in this lengthy paper.

But one thing is sure that even if the CSAT is tougher, it has the potential to reduce the cut off by at max 1 mark, not more than that. Ultimately the GS paper performance will matter in reducing the cut off further.

@NarendraDamodardasModi Study well for mains. All the best. Don't waste your time here. Try to clear in 1-2 attempts, otherwise, you too will start attempting 90+ in GS.
