[Official] CS INTERVIEW 2019 PREPARATION : COMBAT

@BehemothAP or for the matter any big state will have the problem of capital city not being accessible everyone equally because of unavoidable reasons!
In our case the northern most district Bidar is 150 odd kms from Hyderabad but 700 kilometres
(Recently a MLA of some border taluk of AP demanded his constituency to be merged with Karnataka since they had cultural/linguistic similarities plus Bengaluru was more accessible than the new capital)
In such cases probably having multiple capitals makes sense!
Advantages:

  1. Improved governance
  2. Ease of accessibility of government and administrative machinery to all residents
  3. Infrastructural improvements
  4. Regional disparities would be slowly sidelined.
  5. J and K model can be used as reference

Disadvantages:

  1. Obviously financial aspects of it
  2. 3 power centres for jud/leg/adm might result in confusion among people
  3. Also chances of these centres getting alienated from each other would be high due to lack of coordination!

Can only think of these now!

@Abcxyz Recently ie until 2017 Hindu marriages weren’t legal in pak!
And those brides according to the law of that land(if one exists there) were unmarried and were subjected to kidnapping,conversions and forecful marriages and the law still has a clause which says if either of the spouses convert it would lead to marriage being annulled.
This can be added too!

@Abraham-MaslowHe would still be allowed to avail the benefits but not at the behest of CAA!
11 years scenario comes into picture!

@ManchesterOfcourse not as an illegal immigrant but as an asylum seeker!
Like in the case of Tasleema Nasreen where she is residing in India on a long term visa and that would make her eligible in few years to apply!
(Just an example,she has a swedish citizenship)

@visionmanI think few state governments tried to do this!
By attracting investors to hitherto underdeveloped regions,but very few succeeded!
Americans,Chinese are looking for avenues to invest whereas we are looking for investors!

@BehemothSwamy Aiyappa being Naishtka Bramhachari is the reason for sabarimala!
Hindu women avoid temples while being in periodic cycle but in sabarimala all those who are physically capable of being in cycle aren’t allowed!

How do you see the recent Karnataka and AP orders of reserving most C and D level plus 50 percent of private jobs to native people?
