  • At first blush I knew it was about gender. Learnt about this confusion only after the exam. Guess my socio background helped! Anyway, all's well that ends well!
  • Did anyone who wrote mains this tym as well as last tym noticed any difference in answer booklet space ?? I think this tym the sheet was broader than the last tym .
  • its good, I wrote on gender issue.....
  • It's a famous undp statement given after Beijing declaration
  • Question paper is first set in English and then it is translated. Their is only one interpretation of the word engender and it is to give rise or bring forth and it is hilarious of the person to interpret as relating to gender. UPSC should hire a competent person to translate with good knowledge in both hindi and english.
  • if it is---- If development is not en"gendered"---then "gender" comes into picture but normally engender has nothing to do with gender. I wrote with normal interpretation and mostly the theme and arguments are from amarthya sen. So wrote from deprivations and entitlements point of view by bringing in capitalism,socialism and neo-liberalism.
  • didnt wrote about third gender
    only stri-purush was mentioned in hindi

    Using the word engender to refer to gender is very common when we talk aboit Development. Though the exact meaning of the word may not have any relation to gender but the phrase is very common.

    It's not a translation error.
