REGISTRATIONS for LIVE Session on "Answer Writing for Mains 2020" | 25th October at 11 AM
Dear Friends,
ForumIAS held 3 sessions earlier this month setting thePost Prelims Agenda.
We will be holding LIVE Session on Answer Writing for Mains 2020 on 25th August 2020 at 11:00 AM
In this session, we will discuss answer writing from the basics. So this one will be helpful for beginners as well.
But more importantly, we will discuss the changes that have taken place in the past 2 years.
So those who have written Mains before will be able to relate to the answer writing issues. Since we will also discuss the basics, it may have the primary stuff as well, in addition to some fresh ideas for answer writing for Mains.
If you want to attend this Live session, you must register from the link provided below. Also, ask your questions which we can address in the session.
Time & Date: 11 AM, Sunday, October 25.

I tend to differ with him slightly here. 'Pros' can never mean explaining the phenomenon! For and Against something literally means one has to argue by putting logic in favor of something and against something- always.

IMO, what he meant to say was that there are several ways to cover both sides of an issue.
It is preferred, when writing answers, specially in questions which demand critical analysis or are opinion based questions, to give both sides of the issue rather than talking about just one.
One way to proceed with is by giving pros and cons. The second way, as per him, is to give explanations as to why some things happen followed by their cons. For example, in topics such as Violence against women, one cannot give pros of such a topic but can definitely give cons. To make one’s answer holistic and cover both sides of the issue, one can give reasons/explanations as to why violence against women occur followed by its harm/s. This is what I interpreted and understood by what he was saying in the session.
If you are interested in knowing the context behind what he is talking about, also if time permits, go to the GS4 discussion thread and visit pages 8 to 11. Pay emphasis on four users and read carefully what they are saying. The four users are upsc2020, Neyawn, Rashiv and TheNotorious(me). You will understand better what he meant to say in the answer writing session post going through the pages I mentioned on the GS 4 vala thread. Cheers 🍻

Ok. I got your point. But I was telling a different thing. Anyway, it's ok. :)
@Neyawn will you be conducting a session on how to attempt open ended questions(like the ones in 2019 mains) as you said at the end of this session? It will be extremely helpful if you did
