Prelims Questions Thread: CSP 2021

Hi Forum,

I am sure there are many on this platform who are preparing for CSP 2021. As I prepare from the very basic books right to the Laxmikants & Spectrums, will be posting questions for practice and benefit of all 2021 aspirants.

Oh. 

4. 3rd statement I did not know. 

1. I now remember reading about anglo indians as well , report submitting to governor was purely guess work- thought like any other body would do, they might submit as well. 

3. That I knew. It was typing mistake. 

Thanks. Lakshmikant needs revision. Maybe elimination would have helped.

@sstarrr @D503  motabhai got heavy US investment last year that's why it is there in this list but still at second. 

Why was Gujarat well known? It was second from past 2-3 years, behind Maharashtra. 


Also, what were the top sectors receiving FDI? Shraddha ho toh

It was not second, it was first from last 3-4 years. 



1. this report says Gujrat has been at the top since last 3-4 yrs

2. Maharastra and Gujrat were close competition  - somewhere down the memory line I read somewhere the Gujrat attracts most FDI

Reasons I could decipher is :

1. Vibrant gujarat summit

2. New GIFT centre : even though its not working ekdum efficiently but then its there 

3. Business environment in Gujarat

@calvinhobbesI thought FDI inflows meant which country received highest FDI in that case the answer is USA >China .
Sectorwise software should be the greatest. And investments are mostly transient ones in the stock market a courtesy of US FED loose money policy. Greenfield investment have actually declined according to UNCTAD investment report.
Why Gujarat and Maharashtra receive more FDI - same reason why Britishers came up with earliest factory at surat. These places had been part of Indian ocean trading system that existed between Arabia and India before Portuguese plunderera and boors wrecked it all.
As Adiga says in white tiger
"Please understand, Your Excellency that India is two countries: an India of Light, and  an India of Darkness. The ocean brings light to my country. Every place on the map of  India near the ocean is well-off. But the river brings darkness to India.”
Among many other reasons like resource curse, aid curse  , freight equalization policy etc
