[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021
Because of the corona virus issue? If it does not happen then worst affected will be people whose interview is stuck, around 600-700 such people I think are yet to appear for their interview.
@neyawn sir and others, what is your take?
This is the official Thread for discussion of Prelims Postponement, Please do not create new threads for the same.
Guys ,Intellectuals are being mocked down because of their own mistakes of past .The liberals and left of this country live in intellectual bubble of their own .They produce knowledge but dont know how to communicate with people in peoples language .Political education (in real sense )in this country is near to zero .People who know how to communicate with masses are ruling this country .like why people joke about WhatsApp university .Why can liberals and left make whatspp colleges of their own .Lot of it is global phenomenon but this sense of moral and intellectual superiority is one of the key reasons .
What a guy phd scholar of jnu said that to me holds correct ,fasciwad fakeer hai kaise bhi ajata hai ,kranti lane walo ke nakhre bht hai khali rote rehte hai fasciwad agya agya.
I was shocked when farm bills were passed through voice vote, in complete disregard to parliamentary rules and democratic ethos.
If that is how bills are gonna passed, then what is the need of MPs. Speaker or chairman can decide based on his /her political leaning.
I feel that this incident is the final nail into the modicum of democracy we were witnessing in last 6 years
Farm bills are a progressive step, but the way it was passed, would remain a blot on ur democratic polity for years to come.
There are high chances of total breakdown of social harmony in years to come, and we might witness violence that India has never seen.All that depends on how early, we as Indians realise the sinister motive of the current political system.
This isn't just about BJP, because i am quite sure that even if BJP loses power in 2024, the party that forms govt, will be equally evil, if not more. The broad notion of India as a cohesive and inclusive project has already being eroded, and it might be too late to revive it
now is not the time guys
Bolne doh bhai. Mere hisaab se toh abhi hi sahi time hai. :/
Selection ke baad vaise bhi “part of the system” ki dorr sebandhjaana hai. Tab galat ko galat kaha hi bol paogay.
As someone above said,
Agar Harsh Mander, Shah Faesal ya Kannan Gopinathan ho toh alag baat hai. 🙂
BD,Aah thank god for this venting out. I had this on my mind since the CAA protests were happening and the way they were crushed and the police functioned, then the Delhi elections with all the hate speech etc etc.
A lot of things we, as an aspirant read in the syllabus have been totally disregarded, creating a 'cognitive dissonance' 😛
Each time such an incident happened, it actually made me question my decision of going for UPSC and not applying for a PhD in foreign and escape this pandemonium altogether.
The only solace I hold is I might become of help to atleast some people, the way a soldier saved my mother's family during the 1984 riots.
I dont know what lies ahead, but it sure doesn't seem very bright.
Btw what do you all feel about suddenly a wave of populist and nationalist leaders coming to fore? (Trump, Modi, Bolsonaro)
.
Woah! Woke up to this doomsday analysis. Realised I wasn't reading Harsh Mander's column in The Hindu.
Populist & Nationalist are more of complementary words though, if we go by their literal meanings. Moreover putting Modi, Trump, Bolsanaro, etc in the same basket is really lazy.
What I gather is the institutions in India are very hollow since Independence. It is not a recent phenomenon. We know this know because the gatekeepers of our thought process "the intellectuals" have been discredited by the common people. And no, they are not dumb. So in a way it is good ( high on optimism). The abuse by some intellectuals who have lost control over the institutions is understandable.
There is a kind of churn by the digital medium. I think as a Polity we will emerge better for sure. We need a credible opposition as well as long as we have certified hooligans from TMC killing opposition workers in their state and manhandling deputy chairman in RS, BJP will have the last laugh. It is the TINA effect. People will vote them. And public intellectuals will cry a river in newspapers on how populist, majoritarian government is bad. That is what I see. I have high disregard for political vendetta and pseudo intellectualism both. I began to explore more and not only from "certified" sources. It is not all gloomy. Keep your ears on the ground. A class of people benefitted from Swacch Bharat Abhiyan, Ujjwala, PM kisan,etc. These are real people. Have faith in the capacity of the masses. What moderates didn't had but revolutionaries/extremists had. That kind of faith. A reformed and matured Polity will emerge for sure.

Howz_the_josh,
Wo petition jo postpone waali thi uska kya hua?Baaki everyone knew about drugs in Bollywood,whats new to show about it?Atleast tell about petition
Listed for hearing on 24th. I mean no disrespect, but the SC has dismissed the petition already!
The new strategy amongst the folks seeking postponement is to file multiple petitions in various High Courts and hope for relief from any of them. Let's see!

P.S have not watched even a 10 minutes of a news TV show in last 6-7 years so don't share that frustration, luckily. And I think daily show with Trevor Noah doesn't count. :D
LOL
@Howzthejosh The problem isn't about whether the show should be telecasted or not anymore.The idea has already entered in discourse. Now WhatsApp university and social media will do the rest.I used to be a strong supporter of social media and free speech at one point. Now I feel it has the potential to create unrest and social tensions, as it's become a free playground for propagandists of all kind.
True bro
social Media should charge some minimum amount like whatsapp Done in initial days
