@Konohamaru i suggest exploring works of canadian conservative psychologist jordan petersen. it is said that conservatives in intellectual world are a rarity. It is also said that rares are special, especially his 12 rules for life. have read it and recommend it, its purely apolitical btw :D

A book recommendation for you from my side
History repeats itself....Intro: quote by Einstein about world war 4 ( “I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”). Why he felt so? Because he understood humans don't learn from history.Best example are the World wars (political dimension). How petty intercountry rivalries in Europe ended up in WW1 and then WW2 and Hitler and then again continued to cold war madness.Plus about China. How china itself was divided up by Western powers, invasion by Japan and now the same China doing it to others.Economic angle about stock market bubbles. Tulip bubble in Europe, 2007 recession and the latest Theranos scam.Technological dimension. How human inventions always are introduced as a panacea and then end up creating more problems than it solved. DDT, Plastic bags ("the National flower of Africa").Environmental. Climate change predicted long ago, but even now we're not ready to change blah blah... GM chairman's joke about why his beach house not under water if climate change is real...Then Indian situation. How vested interest groups are exploiting religious and caste divisions just like the British did and how social media abet them, by selling our personal data to them, which they got from us in the first place by giving us free games, making the whole thing a farce.Conclusion, that the only thing we learn from history is that we don't learn anything from it! We have to be especially alert in this post truth world blah blah blah.(The 'tragedy, farce' keywords were intentionally used in each para).
Lol same to same. French revolution and reign of terror and fir Napolean dada aaye, IVC perished due to climate change yet abhi log serious nhi hai , Spanish flu se CoVid kuch improve nhi hua log riots kar rhe Europe me ki lockdown nhi lagega, capitalism socialism fir neoliberalism , Nazis to Neo Nazi etc yhi sab likha and yes farce or history par stress every other para me.
Conclusion me those don't learn from history doomed to repeat wala likha or pessimistic conclusion diya ki log hote hi guchiye hai , Stockholm syndrome se suffer krte.
@D503 I feel it would be most common choice second being cradle one in section b.
Nhi yaar mujhe wo self discovery wala laga jyada log attend krenge wo philosophical Kam technological jyada laga mujhe Spotify or YouTube ke algos ke oopar likh diya mai and how relying for self discovery on tech can lead to polarisation filter bubble echo chamber etc
@D503 thats in section A
Ohh galti se mistake ho gyi. Ha fir toh whi tha . Wese it's interesting to get opinion of people who are not doing any kind of prep on these philosophical essays. Like mere pitaji bole Jo duniya me propaganda karta hai whi duniya par Raj krta hai ye li khna tha isme😆

@D503 hey where to find the success tree notes for epfo? also are some notes available for rbi grade b as well?
It was available at their telegram channel. I mostly referred them for accounting section and a few labor laws.
Just to give you the example, see the picture which was clicked by me. The chimney is there on the left side but emitting harmful gases from there would mean that the data captured will nullify any work on pollution. Solution? Just emit all the gas from the pellets, being put on the conveyor belt directly into the atmosphere during the early shift. That can be seen on the right side of the picture. Those gases have harmful SO2(reason of their yellowish colour), Pb, Cd, CO, Co2, PM 2.5.10 everything.

Impact of digital technology as reliable source of input for rational decision making is a debatable issue. Critically evaluate with suitable example.
How you attempted it in such haste. It says impact being debated. And, then puts critically evaluate and examples too in question header.
Wrote about fake news - ex Assam lynching of audio engineers due to rumour of baccha chor.
Cyber warfare - ex Russian interference US elections , troll farms to push propaganda and sow division in society.
Governance - reliance on digital tools for PDS leading to exclusion due to fingerprints not matching or seeding issues. And govt claiming it as weeding out of fake beneficiaries.
Waki yaad nhi it was a one sided answer i think. Couldn't bring out the debatable aspect.
Some of the questions from GS 1 which were difficult to answer:
Mention the global occurrence of volcanic eruptions in 2021 and their impact on regional environment.
Examine the uniqueness of tribal knowledge system when compared with mainstream knowledge and cultural systems.
How do the melting of the Arctic ice and glaciers of the Antarctic differently affect the weather patterns and human activities on the Earth? Explain.
How does Indian society maintain continuity in traditional social values? Enumerate the changes taking place in it.
Although it may be subjective opinion....

» show previous quotesWo toh pichle 2 saal se History optional bani hui hai. While people in a thro are easily scoring 250, humare toppers 250-70 me fasse hue hai
"Easily cross 250" wali soch bohot hi misleading hai, i crossed from history to anthro then back here simply coz mujhe anthro thoda bhi nahi jama. One funny thing is I use to write those qs in p2 anthro well which had history related aspects, like Neolithic, Harappan (asked in 2019), baki i just worte...

I sincerely request you all to support the cause of the aspirants who couldn't attend mains due to covid..
Please support and if possible donate for the court case generously..
It will open gates for extra attempts
Please don't do cyber begging here..
Extra attempt is excuse of failures..
Hard work means to persist inspite of all odds..
I m expecting good score in mains. I have practiced a lot of answer before the mains exam... I am strictly against any such delay tactics..

By the way how was your mains... There are very few who are so optimistic about their performance....
Well, I am just saying that court cases are futile..
Just compare .. around 10-15 candidates missed mains due to COVID . Actually only 3 have petitioned..
9000 candidates waiting for their results.. their career will be jeopardized due to such court cases..
Anyways..
I m expecting around 800+.. atleast..
GS 1 .. around 90-95
GS 2.. 105-110
GS 3.. around 100
GS 4.. 110-115
Optional.. around 270
I think I should get above these scores

@Philip_Marlowe HISTORY optional main 280 ka daawa .we will watch your career with great interest DKT3
history optional is the easiest subject of the world, I may ace it with 21% consciousness. psir is most difficult subject of the multiverse, you cannot capture it... even "Lucy" with her 100 percent consciousness couldn't do it. the reason is because of the "intrinsic creative intellect considerations" that dominate the scoring parameters especially in paper 2 of international relations. in subjects like history we answer same boring questions of past but in psir we essentially deal with "hyperdynamic fragments of fluid realities" that continue to alter the discourses, perceptions and aspects of continuity of life. It's this playing the games of time and attempting to design future predictions fusing past and present with logic and knowledge that requires in-depth talent. History can be aced with books PSIR requires not the books but you to think afresh and create new intellectual content. PSIR is god level subject, history at best, may be a spartan.
With due respect I Disagree. I believe the best practitioners of IR are the ones who know
history. In fact i think IR shouldn't
even be a separate subject rather people with command over history will
always do a better job. Ye sare concepts like Thucydides trap, pincer strategy, middle kingdom complex, ye sab history pdke hi pta chalte hai.
If you want to defeat your enemy you gotta know your enemy's history.
History is the
master subject. No matter how much the world changes, the lessons of
history will always be relevant. Ta hi toh upsc ne essay bhi diya history repeat wala 😆 har jgah history hi to pdte hai or likhte hai. Bas khi political history likhte hai, khi economic history.
A lot rides on the response of west to Putin. If west fails to resist him it will have a domino effect across the region. Already Talibans victory has given some extremists hope of replicating similar thing elsewhere. And if Ukraine crisis also follows same trajectory, then i wint be surprised if the alliances that USA has built in middle East , in western Europe and Asia collapsing. Iran will get an upper hand in negotiations and may even go nuclear which in turn will make Saudi going for same. Already MBS has threatened to go nuclear if Iran does. Germany may rise again and become a military power and a security dilemma will ensue with other European powers also following militarisation , because who knows if some Neo Nazi comes to power in Germany. And then there's china , already watching with glee all that's unfolding in Ukraine. Putin calls his partnership with Xi as a no limit partnership of allied relationship. In short whole global order underpinned by US led institutions and the relative stability that we have come to take for granted may go for a toss.
All of this is hypothetical. Other opinions welcome
The problem is, Russia has always been invaded from its western border and there are no natural barriers preventing the same. The whole of Ukraine and countries to its north, Belarus, Poland, Lithuania etc are plains which has historically offered little resistance to the invading armies. Whether it was Napoleon or Hitler, they all took the same route. So once the USSR came out of World War 2, they made it a point to keep those countries within their sphere of influence as a security buffer. So when NATO started placing their missiles in those countries in the Baltics, Russia got uneasy. Whether or not NATO would actually invade is immaterial. It's the constant looming threat that counts. However Baltic nations in NATO were still acceptable because the land border is not as large as Ukraine and Russia has a small enclave of Kaliningrad on the Baltic sea shore.The solution is NATO giving assurance that they will not admit Ukraine. Ukraine is kind of a buffer state between Europe and Russia. Its geography and history does not allow it to take any side. It at all cost has to find a coexistence with Moscow.
Putin is only asking for assurance that NATO will not be expanded. They have repeatedly violated this assurance and expanded NATO in 5 waves apparently. Putin has no option left but to retaliate. Otherwise, it will be an existential threat to Russia. Economic sanctions/military involvement/Kadi Ninda etc dont matter in front of existential crisis.
But don't you think its a bit naïve to believe Putin's version of the story? - the same one which says Russia is facing an existential threat. If that is the case, then why doesn't he enjoy domestic support for this invasion? Its his mad adventure to cling to power, coupled by the old Soviet nostalgia which can't stand former states flourishing once out of its sphere of influence.
And even if there are security concerns, surely an invasion and indiscriminate bombing of cities, including civilian buildings, is not the answer. Russia is the aggressor, not the victim.
As for Ukraine, its a sovereign country, with every right to decide which alliance to join, especially for self defence. If Putin's agenda was to stop NATO expansion in Europe, then his moves have been laughable. All this while, with what's going on Ukraine, he's displaying exactly why European countries need NATO. This is manifest in how Finland is in the process to expedite its joining of NATO or how Switzerland and some other states have abandoned their age-old policy of neutrality to help Ukraine with arms, and support sanctions against Russia.
This geography partly explains why Putin did what he did.
Russia has been ravaged from southern steppe people as well. The reason why Ivan the terrible extended Russias boundry to far east was to keep itself safe from tatars. I think Putin should be more worried about china with its huge population and technology leadership on the south and not a greying and thinning western Europe. Also I believe every power has a beginning and end. Romans , ottoman, British , Japanese , Germans, all have lived through their phase of greatness and now Russia's is also nearing. P5 me abhi kayde se British or French ka point nhi hai other than acting as proxies of USA , or kuch saalon baad Russia ka bhi nhi rhega. Natural resources and defence vs vibrant economy and advanced tech , latter will win in any case. The flame burns the brightest just before being extinguished. Putin is overstretching himself like Hitler. Putin's excuse for invading Ukraine reminds me of how dev Raya 2 invaded Firoz Shah bahman's territory on pretext of pursuing the beautiful daughter of a goldsmith but later the Raya had to give his own daughter's hand to Firoz shah in the war that ensued.
I dont know how invasion of Ukraine serves any of his goals. The western alliance is all the more stronger. And i think America's pivot to indopacific would have given Russia more room for maneuver than the present scenario ever will. Trump's exhortation to Germans to pay for their own security will now be realised along with NATOs renewed relevance as cherry on top. China gets a distracted USA, Europeans get to freeride on USA, except Russia gets a bloodynnose.
Maybe through dialogue with India playing the same role between Russia and USA as pakistan in normalising relationship between USA ànd China during 1970s, Russia could have won concessions. West has repeatedly denied memebership of Nato to Ukraine on pretext of corruption etc and there is no reason to believe this wouldnt have continued in future as USA looked to channeling all its energies to indopacific.
I don't know if it makes sense so be considerate guys n gals
» show previous quotesYes, its southern border is vulnerable too in the caucasus, that's why we saw Georgia war in 2008 although that was due to the stupidity of Georgia's then president Saakashvili. Ukraine and Georgia are red lines for Russians and when NATO announced to the world in 2008 Bucharest summit that theywilladmit Ukraine and Georgia into NATO, it raised eyebrows everywhere. It was clearly seen as a way of encircling Russia.
As far as other areas to the south are concerned, Russia has settled its border with China. Mongolia is not really a concern for Russia, it has historically been a concern for China. Mongolia being heavily under USSR influence was also a reason for tensions between USSR and China. But now that Mongolia is more or less neutral, its not a bone of contention for either Russia or China. Thus only its western border needs to be addressed.
As to the other points you mentioned, yes Russia is a declining power and it has no hopes of returning to the once mighty USSR but that doesn't mean a country would abandon its security interests. Invasion of Ukraine was coming for a long time. Everyone knew it. The west knew it more than anyone else. Inclusion of Ukraine and Georgia in the Bucharest declaration of NATO was strongly opposed by France and Germany but the Americans under Bush still included it. Europeans knew it would come back to haunt them in the future and it did. If only NATO had not overstretched its ambitions, it would have found an ally in Russia against China and USA's Asia pivot would have gone through without this hiccup. Now, China gets a few more years of free run. It has already surpassed USAs economy in PPP terms, after a few more years of running wild it will overshadow the West.
I think West has stabbed itself in the foot through Ukraine.
Border is settled , but there's no buffer between Manchuria and Russia. And Russia has been wary about allowing Chinese farmers in the region but yet due to worsening relations with yhe west these Chinese farmers are going on large numbers and there's fear of demographic change which explains why Russia courted India to invest in Far east. So theres a potential point of conflict, and china has also been slowly making inroads in central Asia which Russia considers its backyard.
Ab thak gye. Ek Mann keh rha sab justified hai in name of security interests , dusra keh rha aise toh duniya me rule of jungle or matsynyaya ho jayega. So ab jo bhi hai so hai. It's like sometimes you know something is wrong but you don't know how to articulate it and convince yourself fully.

Anthro wale btayenge.
Shaivaite, shakt and vaishnav cults kuch hota toh tha bhai bhakti time. Maybe she meant in that sense. Cults dont jaut mean pointed hats and the negative connotation that has come to be associated with the term due to various dangerous cults. Bhakti saints had their devotion directed towards one beloved God who maybe Krishna or Ram, and to him only they showered their love and affection. I have not read this part of history much as of now so I'd ask history guys to illuminate us.
nai yar maine nai padha anthro me
lekin cult ka superficial connatation pe apna view form kia
but i would like to know the source of other things she said. waise i hardly care.
mam ka kya source hai pta nhi but Mene discovery of India me pda hai ab nehru bhi whi hai so I don't know if it matters ...😆

@Duryodhan Bhai bas 3 chij bata do-1.Akbar ne khud se koi badi ladai ladi thi ki ya bas mantri bhejta raha zindagi bhar??2.Mughal rule me koi bhi Ancient India or contemporary Europe type world class university/research institution kyu nahi khule,janta ko backward rakhne ke liye kya?Mera koi view nahi, just curious koi scholar ne is baare me kuch likha kya?3.Bakhtiyar khalji burnt our heritage phir uske name pe station,town,college,ye aaj tak kisi ko nazar kaise nahi aaya?Eulogise kar rahe use kya hum because media celebrate kar rahi another celebrity naming his kid after Taimur lutera?Ya ye sab koi isotopes hai unke not actual persons??
Bhai class 12 new ncert part 2 me bechare leftist intellectuals bhi nahi chhupa pae mughal times me karname ghor poverty ghor inequality. Aj jo experts Inequality Index pe India ko question karte he unhe koi batae mughal times me bernier kehte he there is no middle state in india. mughals ko ye experts criticise to nahi kar payenge lekin kam se kam glorify karna band kre.
British raj ko criticise karke mughalo and delhi sultanate ke kale karnamo ko white wash kia ja raha he. Europe me jo renaissance and enlightenment movement aaya tab to yaha sultanate and mughal the, inhone raaj kia to kya kia hindustan ke liye? science technology develop ki ya bas jaziya wasoolte rahe.
Aaj west developed isliye he kyuki waha science and technology jaldi start hui. India peeche reh gaya thanks to Mughal india kyuki agar tum 200(1526-1726...)saal raaj karoge to accountability tumse hi extract krenge na.
Renaissance toh poore aisa me hi nhi aaya tha as far i know. When European travellers were starting their age of exploration, Ming empire shut down sea expeditions initiated under Zheng He. They became inward looking. Japan got such a shock after witnessing the power and technological superiority of Americans and started meiji restoration.
Whole Asia had stagnated wha par Mughals rule nhi kar rhe the har jagah.
Or aisa nhi hai india me koi development nhi hua. In the field of warfare Mughals used moving canons and elephants extensively due to which they came to be known as Gunpowder empire. It's a matter of focus while Mughals patronised architecture, theology, art and paintings , Europeans embarked on individual enterprise and entrepreneurship after Lutheran reforms and protestantism India's achievements have always been in field of theory. Europeans have achieved in the field of material and practical usage of knowledge. Maybe it's very nature of Indian civilisation that has been spirituallly oriented which is reflected in our Yoga and meditation and glorification of detachment.

Itne yudh lade hai toh medic toh chaiye hi hoga necessity hai . But the thrust of Indian civilisation has been on theoretical development. Ye jo astronomy, mathematics, me developments hue hai saare theoretical rhe hai ya fir only used for ritual purposes , western society me science ko practical form dena ka try Kara gya. Steam engine bnaya , plane bnaya. Maybe agar labour wasn't looked down upon we could have been something else.

To conduct propaganda you need influencers , you need dedicated workers who can spin all kind of wild conspiracy theories, you need to cultivate a new breed of intellectuals who can talk about vision ias jihad and such nonsense while keeping a solemn face, you need FB executives who don't ban groups propagating hatespeech and genocidal calls so as not to mar their business prospects with the ruling party, and not to forget you need pliant news anchors ready at a whistle to push your propaganda and dehumanise opponents. All of this requires money. money may not the only factor but it's an important factor. Waki apni apni views hai yaar.
