@captainhaddock Philosophical Essays are always somewhat risky...

Introduced with samrat prithviraj approached war as romance leading to destruction of his empire.(first and second battle of tarain) . Contrary to chatrapatti shivaji approach of war as science leading to establishment of maratha empire.

Explained scientific and romanticism term in detail.

Gave example of victory of science over romance( Galileo and church, capitalist vs communism, Ukraine abandoning nuclear weapon- Russia invasion, homi Bhabha vs nehru on nuclear weapon,some more example )

Reverse the topic. Gave example of victory of romance over science.( bhagat singh and revolutionaries, gandhiji, Socrates, some more example)

Martin Luther King junior quote our scientific power has outrun spiritual power. We have guided missile and misguided men ex: fritz habert ( chemical weapon) Dr A Q khan nuclear weapon

 Concluded with Einstein quote on religion and science. Romanticism and science not contradictory but complimentary in nature. Pope quote on science. Mutual co existence

I think most of history optional candidate might have chosen this topic. But one needs to exercise caution  before approaching such topic from only historical view point.

Mere ko toh kuch zaada hi doubtful lag rahe hain 

Like ?


gs1 : tier 2 and culture of consumption, globalizn new tech scarce resources special reference to india (these two have either very broad demand and issues of framing and presentation). sect, lion and bull (i had less info on these), color coded 

gs 2: president, disability (lack of content), rpa (question has too many parts, presentation issue), legality of repromulgation of ordinance (cant remeber the case, i bluffed last time in women in judiciary case got 98), MCC(evolution part is tough if not studied in advance), donor agency (obvious reasons), envt(couldnt write godavarman)

gs3: cellulose, shift to subsidies is tough to answer, james webb, vaccine in my case

@Kenshein Few important points to be noted:
1.This person is telling the story of his life.
2.After the completion of the video,the red t shirt guy in background hit him with the cricket ball
3.His hands movement are two levels up from Dhruv Rathee/Dhruv Tara 
4.If he has read Art of Seduction ,the examiner has read Art of rejection.

we can list the questions in gs papers that will not be making much difference this year ..questions like color coding and primary rocks in gs 1...cellulose in gs 3 .. French president and disability act in gs 2 etc.

For me, more than half of GS1 was a bouncer 😂

 obviously yaar UPSC band nhi krwa skta but these coaching institutes are so much commercialized ke they have no link with the reality. All they want to offer is one same course in different different forms and aise dikhate hai ke unka course nhi kia to UPSC clear hi nhi hoga. Upar se by adding IAS after their coaching name, they are trying to show that they believe in elitism and other services including IPS are nothing in front of IAS. On the top of this, students and parents are feeling financial burdens with almost NIL possibility of success.

The very first question, social life depiction through sculptures of medieval temples, then colour codes, then Deccan trap ( I have written about Deccan plateau and 1-2 worded points like 1)iron ore 2)coal etc.- I was thinking what am I doing 😂) 
Then in the 15 markers, bull and lion question, straits and isthmus ( I couldn't remember any isthmus 🥲😂)
Society questions might bail me out and help in getting a respectable score ( sociology optional definitely helped there) 😅

This is my first attempt and I am finding it difficult to evaluate my mains, I didn’t draw any maps as I felt it was not that necessary to answer  any  question and as it was my first attempt I didn’t want to waste my time but I did draw some basic diagram like to give features etc and I did follow IBC pattern. Is visual representation that imporatant? , I have also compromised quality in some questions due to lack of time, should I still be hopeful for selection this year.

The only problem is this is my last attempt 😕🥲
