Nice article by dr krishna kumar on education Summary of the article . John dewey in his classic work Democracy and education explained why communication across groups is a core challenge for democratic order.Dewey's use of endosmosis as a metaphor for interactive relation between diverse social groups is revolutionary. Endosmosis in biology is the flow of fluid through a membrane which acts like a porous separator .Dewey-education-enale citizens to practice individual freedom while contributing to collective efficiency of the society .quality of education-measure to the extent to which- social goals are debated and grasped by different social groups .Dewey- democracy as a system of governance - only if it becomes way of life by educationally disseminated rationality . Educated society must get away with social darwinism which legitimise the winners claim to power .this ideology tends to serve as a cover for orthodoxy ,misogyny and xenophobia . .writer writes at the end ...For democratic education we should shed the transplated ideas of west and make the education a tool of equitable and dustributive justice .
plz explain the line: "Educated society must get away with social darwinism which legitimise the winners claim to power .this ideology tends to serve as a cover for orthodoxy ,misogyny and xenophobia ."

Hi, I haven't started preparing for Ethics paper. I was wondering how to start it considering I am preparing from home and not Mecca
Any inputs just to get a kick start shall be highly appreciated.TIA
For ethics have a look at previous years question papers, understand the types of questions asked, have a look at visions and GS scores solved papers which you can probably find on net or telegram and then study from Lexicon. I think this is best strategy.

Good one @raksha... as Association for democratic reforms noted, around 100 cr of funding came from sources contributing more than 20000 at a go without adequate details of the donor including PAN which is must.

Linking above with recently PM mooted "One India, One Election" concept.
holding of the elections of the centre and the state together.
Till mid 1960s, it was in existence but post that, coalition politics came into fore in the state elections where the governments were less stable and had to be dismissed which led to separate times of the elections in states
Why do we need? bcoz in current situation:
huge burden on exchequer
Frequent elections bring policy making to a standstill
increase in “vices” such as communalism, casteism, corruption and crony capitalism.
focus is more on recouping election cost and next terms rather than governance, which brings in customary popular schemes for people at last moment (reframe it please)
Why not needed?
local and national issues don’t get mixed up to distort priorities
disparage and marginalising of different state affairs is possible.
Accountability of political parties at both state and center level will submerge.
may defeat the federal structure as proper check on government won't be ensured
