Hello All,

The Group usage here is a little cumbersome, so I am creating this thread to make sure that all questions with doubts stay in one place. Can someone push all the doubts and queries here? I will make this an announcement?

Test 16, Q38.

Statement 1-ALLDelhi Durbars were conducted atCoronation Park, Delhi

This has been marked incorrect according to the answer key.

I believe this statement is correct.

1. Proof for1877 coronationat Coronation Park.

2. Plaque at Coronation Park specifically mentions1911 coronation.

Turns out you are right.

But it has been mentioned in many places that Home charges include the miitary aspect as well.
First is a screenshot from Jagran Josh and the second is the screenshot from RC Dutts book.
(PDF- https://socialsciences.mcmaster.ca/econ/ugcm/3ll3/dutt/EcHisIndia2.pdf )

So probably the answer key could be wrong.



Edit- On second thought, it says "all charges of british troops in India, and partial cost of TRANSPORTATION to and fro India"

It could be interpreted that cost ofwaging war  is not included per se. Confusing.

Read the jagranjosh link. It elaborates on home charges. same can be found in Dutt's book verbatim.


There is some confusion though.

@Thinker 

Q 27,

The statement 1 is Navjivan was the first Gujarati Newspaper to be published by Mahatma Gandhi.

     

But Bombay Samachar was the first Gujarati newspaper instead of Navjivan in 1822.

Pls clarify..

Dear Forum IAS,

All the tests of Polity went well. Sir@Thinker  clarified all our doubts on this platform. But from the day History subject Tests are started there is no Teacher is here to clear our doubts. 

One must also understand that not everyone is getting discussion of tests. There are at least 300 students who are left out of discussion. So, kindly provide some teacher who can clear our doubts on this platform. Even if it cleared doubt of at least single aspirant, then also there is success of this platform. 

@root @Neyawn 

Thank you.
