Note:
Thanks for actively participating in this initiative. We see every day some people writing exceptionally good answers, and some who initially wrote bad answers getting lot better. But all those answers get lost under lots of comments and it becomes difficult to later search for good answers.
So, we request few volunteers among you to every day copy and paste best answers in a Word Document and send us to our email (insightsonindia at gmail dot com) so that we post them next day for the benefit of you and other readers, who can access them easily during exams and revise them fast. We assure you that many questions would come in both Prelims and Mains from this initiative (because every syllabus related issue is covered through these questions).
It can be done by 3 people. One aspirant can send it for two days, second aspirant on other two days, likewise in a cyclic manner you can do this. We hope some of you would come forward and help others. Thank you.
