Kal socio offline batch mein i asked a few gs questions to students and they didn’t know… a lot of them have been preparing for a couple of years.. got me thinking, bohot kuchh karna hai.. like bohot kuchh.. ke vast majority students keep preparing in an unstructured way… and saal ke saal beet jaate hain… and then kuchh nahin hota… and then they wonder why… yesterday shook me… those were conventional gs questions.. one from history and one from internal security… made me realise vast majority preparing on their own, is literally not able to do it right.. then i thought ke basic basic cheezein poochh kar i might be able to tell them all ke you are not doing right but, karna kya hai yeh still unnhe pataa nahin chalega kabhi… i’m sorry to say but vast majority is just spending time preparing.. but not preparing 🙏

again.. try without pen

Hi all,

Today we begin with our..

Draw the Mountains with Me Series

We start with the Trans Himalayan range

We have 3 major ranges here.

From north to south the Karakoram, Ladakh and the Zaskar Range.

I have mentioned some peaks and glaciers in the map as well.

The part of Zaskar that goes into Tibet is called Kailash Range

You have to draw these from this pic once and then you have to draw it again without seeing.

It will take 10 mins..but it will all add up in the end.

Once done react with👍

A minute's success.

Buying 1 MLA gets them disqualified, but buying 2/3rds gets you a new government.

The Anti-Defection Law didn't stop horse trading it just made it wholesale.

Here’s why our mandate keeps getting stolen and how we actually fix it

​𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

​1985 (52nd Amend):
10th Schedule introduced to curb frequent defections.

​2003 (91st Amend): Raised the merger threshold to 2/3rds, ending the "split" loophole.

​𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗜𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀

​Wholesale Defections:
Stricter rules shifted focus to engineered, large-scale defections fueled by heavy inducements.

​Speaker Bias:
Vesting disqualification power in Presiding Officers leads to deliberate, partisan delays lasting months or years.

​Judicial Limits:
The Supreme Court notes petitions should be decided in 3 months, but this is rarely followed.

​𝗪𝗮𝘆 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱

​Automatic Resignation:
A law to instantly terminate an MLA's tenure the exact date they resign from their party.

​Fresh Mandate:
Force defectors to immediately seek re-election.

Ethics Quiz

​An IAS officer is heading a committee to award a major highway construction contract.

The most technically sound and cost-effective bid comes from a company where the officer's brother is a silent partner.

The officer immediately recuses himself from the committee and transfers the decision to a colleague, even though it delays the project by a week.

What specific ethical principle is the officer primarily demonstrating?
