Mission Mains 2021: GS 4 Ethics Discussion
This is for those of you who are planning to write Mains 2020. Primarily, the agenda of this thread would be
1. Answer Writing Practice
2. Sharing examples - anecdotes from Current affairs relevant for GS4 Answer writing
3. Any doubts wrt. Paper 4!
Feel free to pool in your suggestions!
In questions specifically asking for ethical issues, can ethical dilemmas be written under a subhead? Or it's a complete no?
D503,2. Violation of social duty of a lawyer to represent anyone who can pay(and even those who cannot)
3. Violation of Constitutional right to be represented by a lawyer of choice.
Don't know why I am writing this. Probably for people 1st time giving mains and I am not writing mains this year. So have lot of time to give inputa to others.
So I got 122 marks in 2019 (GS4), probably average or bit above avg marks.
Some suggestions:
Limit your examples and quotes. More they are more hard to remember and even hard to use them.
You can't remember 100 examples and quotes, remember 20-30 and try some basic and some unique. Then see where can you use all these. So 20-30 can be utilised at 100 of places. See toppers copies and pick up from there.
More emphasis on Indian and regional leaders/ examples: some can be KabirDas, Premchand, Bassavana, Periyar, from NE (currently don't remember), Sufis, Sikh Gurus, Dohas, Shlokas etc.
Case studies are more rewarding. But sometimes they can be unexpected like 1/2 in last year's. So instead of overthinking in them, you can turn back to 1st segment and complete them.
Speed is most important thing, I messed 2-3 questions due to lack of time, where I could have written better.
Last thing GS1 and GS3 being in Morning of this winter will affect efficiency,
GS2 and GS4 being in afternoon can compensate for them
thats superb suggestion
