I know you are clowning here and I don’t know the reason but I find your behaviour really concerning. Please get help. It’s not normal. Specially on a platform like this. If people do this on Instagram or tiktok its understandable. They may have low IQ or just really jobless with no drive or no goal , but why you?? Just a suggestion. We women aren’t so worthless after all.

Ma’am, I saw you shutting down one troll the other day and now another one. I love how you have been waking up these days and choosing savagery. Full power and respect to you! :)

Hello guys .. alot of bloodshed has been happening so please dont beat me or cuss at me when I say this ..
so I spoke to one of my professors at DU (Political science department) about that polity question - safeguards of liberty in a liberal democracy and she definitely says the answer is Elected Government. She said though separation of powers and rule of law are other ingredients but all of them wont be possible if a state does not have anelectedgovernmentat first (also the question specifically says liberal democracy) .. only then those things can be assured. She also told me that with respect to such questions - read some philosophers (even if not from an optional background) like Aristotle, JS mill , Berlin etc in free time and that may in general invoke some interest. Also despite my background in this subject , I haven’t taken PSIR optional so don’t think that I am in anyway advertising any optional .. just putting an end to this debate of “one of many interpretation “based questions.
I too marked Elected government option but ye wala galat hai. Mera 2 polity ke mistakes bahut bhaari padne wale hain. Doosra Article 32 mark kiya maine.
Yaar unhone bola toh correct Elected govt hai .. I asked an expert to finally put an end to this debate ki kya hoga ..
even I marked that article wala question as 32. Some stupid mistakes of polity and economy(like that last resort question)is also going to cost me alot ..
probably your expert isn't so expert. because there is a difference between elected government and elected government by universal adult franchise
Oh acha! Itna specific hona padta hai .. ki matlab universal adult franchise bhi mentioned ho..
maybe yaar you are right. My source is an LSR professor who teaches political theory and constitution from the past 20 years and has written many things on this topic so I thought she would not be wrong in this.
Lets see :)
Analyse the options
B - concentration of powers
D - separation of powers
Go through any paper of upsc and you will find that whenever such opposite options are present thn answer is always one of the options. And out of the two options, separation of powers is the relevant option.
Moreover, elected govt option itself is incomplete and vague. Baaki one can go into the political science theory and research papers but that will yield nothing.

That qstn seems to be lifted from a wire article about modi gov being autocractic despite being an elected one and india claiming itself as a liberal democracy . Answer is seperation of powers ,100%.

Imagine new aspirants coming here after hearing too good about this platform in the community meet recently uploaded by ForumIAS. And then they will see " yaha to sadakchap log bhi hai, ye log bhi prepare karte hai kya" type shock. For the sake of sanity of this platform,@root @Neyawn please remove/ban this guy.

If your mother and sister, their love, care and sacrifice have failed to make you realize that girls and women are not worthless but as much worthy as boys and men, i am afraid no one else can. I therefore am convinced that your bimari is lailaaj. I hope you opt for some sort of rehabilitation .

Everyone who claims it are those who tried desperately to get a women to love them and failed in it miserably and then goes on a lifelong tour of badmouthing women.The case of fox claiming grapes as sour .our sunny is one such lol

@rawhull just got to know... thtswhy sharing... I know... its no use... Pardon

I hope we both get the laugh... always

keephustling,

@musk Bhai I just joined this group 2 days back purely for timepass of intellectual nature, discussing pre questions and all. Based on my experience this group is a great "entertainment apparatus" but beyond that it is useless. Infact its a great time waster and I must vanish once pre results are out . Btw I can tell there are multiple sadak chhaps on this group, one being overt and a few being covert (elite sadakchhaps). But still the majority of people here are decent, tolerant and supportive which is truly reassuring.

(Since you referred to a new entrant, I thought i'd give my two cents. Feel free to ignore the critical remarks, they may only be a personal experience, thoroughly divorced from reality :p )

@bhuvanamalar1015412every tributary of indus finally drains into indus thats common sense and nothing special here. this is the very definiton of tributary. The editorial is only about sutlej river and not about indus river system.

we are all concerned about "panjnad " river . This magical and lesser known river is what matters becoz it takes water from 5 rivers andjoins indus. DIRECTLY. And panjnad is included in chenab according to indus water treaty. interestingly the three rivers jhelum, ravi and sutlej pour into chenab which also satisfies as per first paragraph. now see this from ncert :- (see our river of interest is panjnad and she who claims to be panjnad is the winner)

The river flows southward and receives ‘Panjnad’ a little above Mithankot. The Panjnad is the name given to the five rivers of Punjab, namely the Satluj, the Beas, the Ravi, the Chenab and the Jhelum. (Chapter-3 (Version 4) 07-01-06 (ncert.nic.in))

This is last from my side... regarding Satluj.. lets leave it to UPSC

@rawhull "Every tributary of indus finally drains into indus thats common sense and nothing special here" --- normally the river which drain last -- are said to be like this "Finally Drained"... not all... since other will lose their existence after merging with other... I think like that

on the document you shared you may read top of page 19 to get clearer idea. Moreover i think "Finally "means what is the final fate of any tributary, its to drain in indus so same fate of all rivers draining into indus "finally"

that was my final submission, i rest my case :)
