Critical topics for Mains 2016

edited September 2016 in Miscellaneous
Friends, the new speed of forum is making me crazy! (Touch wood!)

So thought of doing an experimental thing to utilse our cumulative studies in some ways.

This thread is not for answer writing practice, neither for rhetorical arguments.

This is to list known/unknown/static/dynamic topics and then listing out some central points. It could be a 5 worded sentence written by you on a topic or a 6-7 line paragraph copy pasted from somewhere. For example, German unification vs Italian unification... You need some central points..some basic knowledge about Cavour/Garibaldi/Prussia/Papal states etc..if you are good at these mention them under one post.

Similarly, Whats problem with Caveri water? Why suddenly in news..what's the loophole in judgement, Karnataka views/Tamilnadu views ,permanent solution.
Reorganisation of India...different state and different tactics.
Main challanges in FRA act, main provisions etc


There are many ways to do that, all of us read from various sources like vision, insights, The Hindu , Forumias etc. That knowledge can be utilized here.

Brevity and clarity is all we are looking for.Let's do it together.
