The parliament of india exercises control over the functions of the council of ministers through
1. Adjournment motion
2. Question hour
3. Supplementary questions

They have asked about parliament in question but adjournment motion can only be exercised in lok sabha. Someone please clarify..

list of doubtful questions/answers in shankar and forum solutions?

Doubtful according to me:

1. Indus valley - Shankar says horse not known. Ancient India old ncert says evidence not conclusive. From my experience, I can say that unless there are conclusive evidences UPSC generally go with what is obvious.

2. Kakatiya - Very tricky. Masulipatnam and Motupalli both can be right

3. Small finance banks - Purpose is for financial inclusion to provide loans for small business and this can encourage rural entrepreneurship. Again previous experience says UPSC will go with the broader viewpoint.

4. Trade disputes act - GS Score says management of industries, Shankar say ban on strikes. Even though strike ban is there, the facility of tribunal as given in option D is not mentioned anywhere. Moreover the directive principle of allowing workers to be part of management is actually taken from british statutes.

5. Butterfly - These things are hard to predict. One can never be sure of consequences of fall in a particular species and generally whatever consequence said will actually be right.

Bhai what you think their ans are ?

kakyita ans is motipalli..pls refer to ancient India by ranbir chakrborty..there is a full map with date. onfusion aies because new port came up at the same place with different name. from 600-1300 ad port in that are is motipalli

NSQF will also facilitate Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) that is largely lacking in the present education and training scenario From PIB

So, certification can be obtained through informal learning too.

Bro can you post the PDF here please ? btw what do you feel about the cutoff this year based on your experience and that of peer's group in your service ?

Shankar has many wrong answers. NCERT clearly says sutkador had horse fossils. Polity of Shankar is a disaster. Most of them are wrong. DPSP are indeed limitations on state's power. A Pvt member bill was recently passed in RS i.e, "in the parliament" on transgender. Cabinet is for quick decision making and not collective responsibility which is COM. Moreover it was added by amendment. FD are correlated to legal duties e.g, environment protection act, flag code, IPC provisions against public disorders etc. Also constitution gives every indian above 18 the right to vote and the same constitution provides us the right to contest and get elected in the different elections. These rights can't be amended without constitutional amendment unlike the legal rights!

mahadev ji ..see ..surkotda is ok ,lothal bhi hai , sutkangedor bhi hai ..but the prob is ..even all those books while listing diffrences in harrppaa and arya culture mentions that harrapns were not aware of horse. now the only probe is the phrase "no evidence" used in the qes. only UPSC knows.

2.how are DPSP limitation of states power? limitation is a function of Fundamental rights. DPSP are directives they dont stop the state ..the full panga of basic of constitution golaknath , keshvanand , minrva mills deals with this.

3. a pvt bill was passed by RS but it was not the fuirst one my friend . 14 pvt bills have been passed in parliament before this. first one was "muslim waqf board bill on 21 may 1954 presented by sayyed muhaamad ahmed kasmi.

4.FD are not correlated to legal duties. if u dont follow ur legal duty the case booked wont say "voilation of article 51A cause they are not enforcable. further more it has been held by the SC that FD are corelated with FRs.

5.now the right to vote and elected is given by representation of pepols act 1951. other articles just say that no one will be discriminated on the basis of bla bla for voting.
"324. Superintendence, direction and control of elections to be vested in an Election Commission.

325. No person to be ineligible for inclusion in, or to claim to be included in a special, electoral roll on grounds of religion, race, caste or sex.

326. Elections to the House of the People and to the Legislative Assemblies of States to be on the basis of adult suffrage."

"The elections to the House of the People and to the Legislative Assembly of every State shall be on the basis of adult suffrage; that is to say, every person who is a citizen of India and who is not less than _274[eighteen years] of age on such date as may be fixed in that behalf by or under any law made by the appropriate Legislature and is not otherwise disqualified under this Constitution or any law made by the appropriate Legislature on the ground of non-residence, unsoundness of mind, crime or corrupt or illegal practice, shall be entitled to be registered as a voter at any such election.""

see only entitled its RPA which gives u the right to vote and dont forget the right to be elected.

6.and cabinate and quick decision are two words that can not be and shall not be used in one statement.. this is an insult to the whole democratic process.

Agree except regarding cabinet question, as council of ministers consists of cabinet, state and deputy minister and council of ministers is responsible to parliament and not cabinet and cabinet categorization is done to speed up process. Even in the US they have cabinet form of government but they are not responsible to US parliament.
