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?

Indian plate while moving towards Eurasian plate passed over reunion hotspot. The volcanic eruption was fluid basalt lava that flows for long distances. This formed Deccan trap.

Eruption happened due to movement of Indian plate over Reunion hotspot.


The way or type in which it erupted is Shield type eruption. 



So I don't see any dichotomy in the two !!

@Patrick_jane

@Yo_Yo_Choti_Singh Sir but when we have to choose one option among two, Dichotomy prevails.

The doubt arises from below question

I think shield volcano is a landform, different from hotspot. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks :)

@GreenArrow  In simple terms, if it would have to be federal, states need to have some role. Since they are merely dependent on what FC suggests it is being considered here as a non-federal feature.

Although it is highly contested thought since states do demand from FC several benefits and play a role but that is only suggestive and doesn't have the power to influence the decision in any definite way.

Thus, most probably it seems to be a unitary feature

@GreenArrow fc is a federal feature but not because state depends on it but because it aims to remove the financial imbalances b/w centre and state...fc focuses on fiscal and cooperative federalism.

@GreenArrow  The terms of reference are decided solely by the Centre. The 15th FC had terms of reference which included progress under swacch bharat mission, GST collection etc. States were very critical of it.

Regarding exceptions to equality mentioned in 7.5 of Laxmikanth, exception number 5. It says that 31-C protects laws made for implementing DPSPs, (b) and (c) of Art39 from being ruled as unconstitutional as it violates Art14. My question is, how does implementation of the aforesaid DPSPs come as a violation of Art14 at all?

@NirmalScaria Suppose person A has resource X and in society, everybody has the right to protect their resources.

A goes on augmenting its resources. If the Government makes a law to give way to a DPSP 39(b) or 39(c) then he cannot tell that everybody has the right to protect their resources since Article 14 (equality before the law) provides for it and he won't give his resources.

Here DPSP may be given weightage over FR. e.g tenancy reforms.

It mostly happens on a case to case basis since India has Democratic Socialism which has a mix of public and private.


He goes on amassing more and increasing it.

Q 47 With reference to education in India, consider the following statements:

1. Article 21A provides that the state should provide free and compulsory education to all

children of the age of six to fourteen.

2. Article 51A provides that it shall be the duty of every citizen to provide early childhood care

and education of his child or ward until they complete the age of six years.

3. Article 45 provides for the state to give early childhood care and education for all children

until they complete the age of six years.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

a 1 only
b 2 only
c 1 and 3 only
d 1, 2 and 3

Statement 2 is incorrect. The Constitution has provided that state should strive to provide early childhood care and education until they complete the age of six years. Hence, it is the responsibility of state and not of Citizens till now. Article 45 talks about it and not Article 51A.

Fundamental duties are for citizens and not State. Unable to understand how this explanation holds good.

@Joeyisthebest Yes, Fundamental Duties are for citizens and not State. Under Article 51A(k) it is for a parent or guardian to provide opportunities for education to his child or, as the case may be, ward between the age of six and fourteen years.

So statement 2 is wrong.

The explanation is telling that what is mentioned in statement 2 holds good for Article 45(only partially though since age limit mentioned in Article 45 is 0-6 years) and not article 51A.
