Doubt Clearance Thread: UPSC 2021
"When in doubt, observe and ask questions. When certain, observe at length and ask many more questions."
Created this thread as a one stop solution for all members so that all the doubts wherein any conceptual clarification is required can be solved here.
Also NCERT (12th) :( . Probably not worth the hairsplittery though. Dekh lenge.

Second option is given incorrect.Can anyone explain why?
During war , no update to your citizenship status can be made . Clearly given in Laxmikant. Even if u wanna apply , you have to wait till war is over .
But it's also written that If we found unlawfully traded and communicated with enemy during a war ...led to losing our citizenship Although the option does not say about this but may be some context what do you say ??
1. Odisha’s Bhitarkanika National Park is the second-largest mangrove forest in India.
2. Mangrove cover in Gujarat is the second largest after Sundarbans in West Bengal.
I have come across both these statements a lot but they appear contradictory to me. They both seem correct according to multiple sources but I cant fathom. Can anyone elaborate?

1). Compares all the mangrove forests in India with respect to their area.
2). Compares all the states in India with total area of mangroves in them.
Gujarat does not have a single mangrove collection that is bigger than Bhitarkanika but the total area under mangroves of Gujarat (distributed over different areas within state) is more than that of Odisha
Archand,BSP toh national party hai na, how is it possibleThe ECI has also stipulated that a symbol reserved for a state party in any state will not be reserved for another state party in any other state (with effect from December, 1997), or be a free symbol anywhere else
does this mean symbol can't be used anywhere in country?
No. BSP symbol in UP is same as that of Asom gana parishad in Assam.

Yeah. That's what confused me.
But for all the other state parties, the symbols can be used in other states as well. like the two leaves used by AIADMK have been used in other states as well.

BSP has elephant symbol reserved in all states and UTs except Assam.
Dionysus,Egrets and Buffaloes share Commensalism.
Oxpeckers and Zebras share Mutualism.
why? What is the difference?
Oxpeckers eat ticks living on zebra's skin while egrets eat insects in the grasses that get disturbed as a result of movement of the buffalo. Egret sits on Buffalo to have a view of the insects that are getting dislodged and not to eat ticks. In the first, zebra gets some benefits while in the second, the buffalo remains unaffected
