I'm targeting for CSE 2015 and was thinking about taking Psychology as optional. How has it's performance been this yr? I have seen many toppers from Socio but not from Psycho.
Bhai for 2nd question first of all awareness, educating about the issue then popular opinion approach by kelly i.e taking help of some local leader can be added. IT and mass media can be used to sensitive about the issue, discussion, debate, propaganda , use of small groups to change this norm and later generalisation to whole society. I think that will be enough for question 2. And please clear me about question 1, what they are asking?
@Ankii these two questions are 4(a) & 4(b) of paper2 mains 2013... you can have a look to clarify.. In the approach mentioned by you, how will you address religious issue(compulsory birth of son for rituals etc.)

It's true psycho has not performed well in last 2-3 years.. May be because not many have opted for this subject... But if you know last decade was decade of psychology with 3-4 people in top 10 every year... As per last year, AIR 10 had psycho optional and she has scored around 240.. And many including me couldn't get even half of 240; so who's fault was that: mine or optional's :-?
Your intelligence and more importantly your ''interest'' matters the most.. You may become a trend setter after choosing any optional; but if you are a trend follower then go for Pub Ad.
Who would have thought that a Kashmir boy with Urdu literature will top in his very 1st attempt and will set a trend for literature subjects?
