043 MCQ Test No. 9322a in General Studies

There is a proverb in Telugu language: "kODi guDDu mIda Ikalu pIkaTam". English: Plucking feathers on a poultry egg. Purport: Poultry eggs do not have feathers or hair. Egg shells are smooth, and plucking hair/feathers from them will be futile. This adage we can also apply to Civil Services Preliminary Examinations conducted by Government of India. Millions of candidates apply for the Examinations. They have to be filtered into a few thousands, by eliminating millions, so that the thousands go to the next ladder of Civils Mains. As Prelims are conducted using MCQ Tests, with the goal of Eliminating millions being the first priority, some kODi guDDu Ikalu are plucked.

I am not sure who the Speech-writer of Shri Rahul Gandhi is, or who guides and trains Shri Rahul Gandhi in making his Speeches. But whoever it may be, or even if Shri Rahul Gandhi speaks totally ex tempore or he prepares for his own speeches, or probably Media may also be at least partially de-shaping his speeches or misreporting his speeches, accrdoing to my perception, there is a danger of their creating sympathy towards Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, in the minds of the People/Voters. One problem is, Indian People/Voters do not go, or do not have the capabilities to go into depths of facts and veracities of what appear superficially. Either way, the People/Voters become more and more gullible, by constantly hearing contrasting speeches of Shri Narendra Modi and Shri Rahul Gandhi.
For example, if Mr. Narendra Modi has done something extremely wrong which violates Indian Penal Code, and if Mr. Rahul Gandhi is amply convinced about it, when he ascends the throne of Prime Minister in 2019 May if Congress wins the 2019 General Election, he can prosecute Mr. Narendra Modi under appropriate Sections, prove his guilt, and send him to jail. There is no need for Mr. Rahul Gandhi to continuously hammer people that they are going to send Mr. Narendra Modi to jail in the Rafael Scam.

India is a country of Great Rivers. Some Faithfuls consider them as sacred,and believe that bathing in them cleanses the bathers from Sins. First of all, there is no definition of what is SIN and what is VIRTUE. Preachers of different Religions try to define and interpret them in different ways, so that they can benefit from the Offerings made by Gullibles. Nearly 100 million people took their Sacred Baths in the recently concluded Maha Kumbh at Prayag Raj. Both the Ganga and Yamuna Rivers are heavily polluted almost to a level of "Beyond Redemption". NMCG (National Mission for Clean Ganga) was launched in 2011 during UPA-2. It received momentum during NDA-2. 100% Funding is made by Central Government. We have a long way to go.

Examiners in India treat candidates as Godowns or Warehouses. Testing memories of Candidates instead of their Analytical and Decison-making Capabilities, is a bane of Indian Examination System. Testing Memories leads to rote learning. Private Colleges and Coaching Centres make money, while trying to raise the Memory Retention Capabilities of Candidates. Unfortunately, History Text Books in India too have become storehouses of Stuff. This is what Late Telugu Language (spoken by 100 million people across the Globe) poet called :--

Telugu: "yE yuddham eppuDu jarigeno yE rAjyam ennALLundO, tArikhulu dastAvEjulu, ivi kAdOy caritra sAram." English: Which Battle took place when? Which Kingdom lasted for how many years? Dates and Documents! This is not the Essence of History".

Late Shri Shri contd.: Telugu: Ii rANI prEma purANam, Aa muTTaDi kaina kharculu, matalabulU kaifIyatulu, ivi kAdOy caritra kartham! English: Not the love tale of this Queen. Not the amounts spent on that Invasion. These are not the meanings of History.

Some quotes from Late Poet Shri Shri's dESa caritralu (En: Histories of Countries):

Telugu: sAmrAjyapu danDa yAtralO, sAmAnyuni sAhasa meTTidi? English: In the invasions made by the Empire , what was the Courage of the common person?


Telugu: prabhuvekkina pallaki kAdOy, adi mOsina bOyI levvaru? English: The Real Heros were the laborers who carried on their shoulders , the palanquin in which the King moved! (Note: Some Indian kings of yore were reported to have fought wars whlle moving on palanquins".)

Telugu: tAj mahal nirmANaniki rALLettina kUlIlevvaru? English: Who were the laborers, who lifted the stones for the Construction of Taj Mahal?

India's Balance of Trade Adversity and, Balance of Trade Disequilibrium are mainly attributable to Dependence on imported Crude, CNG, and LPG. Fossil Fuels are non-renewable. Someday, probably in 21st Century itself, World is going to face Exhaustion of Fossil Fuels. Exploration of Oil and Natural Gas is not only High Investment Intensive, but also Highly Risky in the sense that all the Investments may drain into sands and sea-beds if ONG could not be found. For example, Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation sank Rs 17,000 crore of public money. On the other hand, Generation of Solar Energy appears to be less risky when compared to ONG Explorations. India made a beginning with JNNSM during the tenure of Mr. Manmohan Singh, with a target of 20GW of Solar Power. In 2015, Narendra Modi's Government raised to 100GW.

Even what happens remotely, influence our lives favorably or adversely. When something happens favorably, Faithful People may believe that all that which has happened in their favor is owing to their Devoted Prayers. When something unfavorable happens adversely, people may attribute that adversity to Acts of God, or as the Outcomes of their past Guilts and Sins. In India, this is commonly referred to as Karma. The word Karma has numerous meanings, not just fate. As on date, everything that happens in this world is not totally under human controls. But whatever is beyond human controls, cannot be attributed to God or Karma. Whatever sometimes appears to be imponderable may even turnout to be ponderable or predictable. Example: Recent shooting at a mosque in New Zealand by a mis-informed European Settler in New Zealand. The Accident to Boing 737 Max8 Crash in Ethiopia, killing about 150 humans.

Out of EURANZ (Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand), last three represent rampant Colonialisations by European Settlers from the 16th Century CE. After annihilating the Original Occupants of North America, Australia and New Zealand, the European Settlers wanted Slaves to work in their Farms and Factories. Europe during these five Centuries indulged in the most inhuman activity of Slave Trade. Still, short of Labor supply, they started welcoming immigrants from Asia, Latin America, and anybody else whoever was willing to be Undeclared-Slaves. Owing to adverse terms of Trade, EURANZ currencies also called HARD CURRENCIES commanded high price, PURCHASE POWER PARITY THEORY (PPP) lost its place as far as the European Countries were concerned. The EURANZ countries want removal of all Barriers on World Trade, so that they can dump their machine-produced surplus goods on Rest of the World. WTO and WEFs have become tools in their hands to lift all gates on their Exports. The most regrettable Paradox is while they want Free Trade, they do not want "Free Movement of Labor across the World". The European Settlers started claiming that the countries occupied by them annihilating the Aboriginals, American Indians, Maoris, Eskimos and others as their own Native lands.

"...All this is why it is so remarkable that the shooter Brenton Tarrant should feel that it is only others who are immigrants and imposing on his culture.

It may interest readers to know that the word Tarrant, which is of British origin, shares the same root as the word “trespasser”, meaning someone who enters without permission, which in Hindi is called “ghuspethiya”. Tarrant says that he does not hate people if they live in their own country, but he had a problem with “invaders who colonise other people’s lands.” However, he also wrote that “the origin of my language is European, my culture is European, my political beliefs are European, my philosophical beliefs are European, my identity is European and, most importantly, my blood is European. ...”

035 Multiple Choice Questions Test on Indian Constitution and Human Rights

World Economic Forum (WEF) and World Trade Organisation (WTO) are more interested in Capitalism and Globalisation. Neither of the two Organisations have any concerns for the Poor Countries or the people of the Poor Countries or or Poor People of the Affluent countries. They are just cronies of MultiNational Corporations (MNCs). WEF Meetings have been criticised as "FAT CATS in SNOW". DAVOS Meetings are criticised as Meetings Pomps and Platitudes. Serious Economics has no place in DAVOS. There is also a criticism that some of the Strategic Partners of Davos Meetings have been convicted of serious Civil, Criminal and Human Rights offenses.

034 Whether he wins or not, Mr. Rahul Gandhi should form his Shadow-Cabinet!

As a Marxist, I am neither a sympathizer of Hon. 2019 PM Narendra Modi nor his bete noir Mr. Rahul Gandhi, the Crown Prince of Nehru Dynasty. While Mr. Narendra Modi seems to have disappointed some of 900 million Indians. At least some voters may think that before he stagnates, "an alternating arrangement of successive Prime Ministers" have to be found, something similar to what the voters of Rajasthan and Kerala States seem to do in choosing their Chief Ministers. If Mr. Modi loses, he gets an opportunity to reexamine his working methods as PM between 2014 and 2019, and come back rejuvenated by 2024. On the other hand, I do not consider that Mr. Rahul Gandhi or Ms. Mavawati or Ms. Mamata Banerjee as his worthy successors. In my view, all of them, and Mr. Narendra Modi belong to the same genre. Real problem with most Indian Prime Ministerial Want-to-be's is they do not study either Capitalist Bourgeoisie Economics or the Socialist Economics. They go on making promises, without really contemplating on whether they are fulfill-able or not. Of course, it is true that Presidents and Star Campaigners of Parties do not have spare time to study Bourgeoisie Economics or Socialist Economics, because all of their time is spent on waving hands, abusing and ashaming their opponents. In England, we have one positive feature in their Politics, it is forming Shadow Cabinets. Shadow Cabinet Ministers with port folios allotted to them, will try to specialise in their portfolios. If they win Elections and join Cabinet, they will be able to perform better, because of the previous rehearsals. I wish that Mr. Rahul Gandhi, Ms. Mayawati, Ms. Mamata Banerjee, and even Mr. Narendra Modi will form Shadow Cabinets, irrespective of whether they are going to win their Elections or not.
