@toooldtodieyoung Sir, may be u are correct... but some events create confusion -- - like in communal award... separate electrode were offered for Dalit (not reservation)... but later after POONA pact .... seats were reserved for them in legislator by eliminating separate electrode... if reservation was implicit then what was the need of reserved seat later in POONA Pact....

@GOT8 separate ‘electrodes’ for women so that they could ‘galvanise’ their position in the legislatures?

@necromancer Right... but reserved ?

@GOT8 The reason why Gandhi wanted reservation instead was because a separate electorate would distance the SC community and it would be lead to more divisions going forward.

I understand that there is a differenceb/n Seperate Electorate & Reservations and it may as well be possible that UPSC might also think the same. I am only saying that my marking a particular answer was more a function of not recollecting the relevant fact rather than critically thinking this through in the exam.

PS - Even i want UPSC's Key to say neither of these, so lets hope for the best.

No need for mental gymnastics on montagu question. It has been asked in CDS 2020. The official key says answer is act of 1935 for reservation of seats for women.

@BhallaRobert i agree with all, except the Right to City coz almost every key says 1 and 2, citing various sources and explanations. But yeah, i did see an article which says otherwise. But yeah only confused wrt that, rest of Q, im at peace

It'll be comical for him and sad for me, if his 20min video explaining this concept is false.

If results are not declared soon then a time will come when people will categorise all 100 questions as doubtful.

Those who clear prelims should be considered for non gazetted group b and group c jobs in central government as consolation prize.
