ENGLISH
I. Over the years, the narrative of what led to the exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley has been changed. A series of untruths have been spoken so many times that they have almost become the truth. One major untruth is that the Pandits were made to leave Kashmir under a government design to discredit the Kashmiri secessionist movement. One of the scapegoats chosen for this untruth was the former governor of the state, Jagmohan.
‘The Pandits were encouraged by Jagmohan to leave so that he could deal with us firmly.’ One kept hearing this. Initially, I didn’t care. But now I seethe with anger whenever I come across this propaganda. I have become determined—to paraphrase Agha Shahid Ali—that my memory must come in the way of this untrue history. Another problem is the apathy of the media and a majority of India’s intellectual class who refuse to even acknowledge the suffering of the Pandits. No campaigns were ever run for us; no fellowships or grants given for research on our exodus. For the media, the Kashmir issue has remained
largely black and white—here are the people who were victims of brutalization at the hands of the Indian state. But the media has failed to see, and has largely ignored the fact that the same people also victimized other people.
It has become unfashionable to speak about us, or raise the issue of our exodus. But I have made it my mission to talk about the ‘other story’ of Kashmir. Like the tramp in Naipaul’s In a Free State, I have reduced my life to names and numbers. I have memorized the name of every Pandit killed during those dark days, and the circumstances in which he or she was killed. I have memorized the number of people killed in each district. I have memorized how many of us were registered as refugees in Jammu and elsewhere.
Rahul Pandita in his book ‘Our Moon has Blood Clots’

II. Chaudhuri was born in what was Calcutta in 1962. His father worked in management at Britannia Biscuits. Communist politics were on the rise in ’60s West Bengal, and sensing the tremors that would lead to the Naxalite movement and the eventual electoral victory of the Left Front in 1977, the company departed for the more congenial ground of Bombay. From 1965 on, Chaudhuri was consigned to life as “a Bombay person” — the quote comes, tellingly, from his nonfiction book, Calcutta (2013). Bombay was movies, glass, sea breeze and horizons, sunsets and skylines, tutors, dinner parties, private clubs, the balconies of tall apartments in swish neighbourhoods on hills. It was a youth spent alone in a vast room with the view omniscient (“the swarms of lights in the evening, the hoods of tiny cars shining and vanishing in the sunlight during the daytime”), and it could be stifling. Life was elsewhere. Something was elsewhere in Calcutta, too, but it wasn’t life — more like world-historical monumentality, or any sense of the ideal or utopian. Calcutta’s neorealist peripherality: this was what lent Chaudhuri’s returns, for holidays and family visits, an aura of worldly presence. The city offered a contrary theatre of associations: not political power (Delhi) or commercial glamour (Bombay), but intellectual life, gossip and debate over tea, streets thick with context, men pushing stalled cars, Marxists reading newspapers in bathrooms, families and domestic workers gathered around power-cut televisions, dust, randomness, the small, sparse, porous interiors of petty-bourgeois apartments. The city swelled, in its minorness, to allegorical size. “The Calcutta I’d encountered as a child was one of the great cities of modernity; it was that peculiar thing, modernity, that I first came into contact with here (without knowing it), then became familiar with it, and then was changed by it.”
William Harris in ‘Adrift, On Amit Chaudhuri’ https://nplusonemag.com/issue-36/reviews/adrift/

Because of a larger audience base
Because the communist uprising in Calcutta was a threat to a capitalist market

World-historical monumentality
Better business platform
Metropolitan culture
Sea-breeze

He is nostalgic about the past
He is analytical comparing the characteristics of two cities
He is trying to grasp the insubstantial spirit of two cities

Q.10. Why does the author call Calcutta a modern city?
It retains its old-world charm while continuously evolving
It is a confluence of distinct social and political discourses

LOGIC
The time has come for women’s cricket in India to move away from the patronizing narrative of “well tried” and “well played”. The BCCI needs to dissect vital cricketing issues — big-match temperament, team selection and consistency. The team’s two senior-most players, Harmanpreet and Smriti Mandhana, had a forgettable World Cup. The captain returned with 30 runs from five matches, while Smriti could manage 49 runs from four outings. Questions must be asked about their form. Consoling the heart-broken team is fine but they also need to learn from their mistakes. In 2017, they had lost the 50-overs World Cup final against England after a nervous batting collapse. In 2020, the same story has been repeated. To be as ruthless as the Aussies, India needs to be critical about its team that finished a distant second.
Q.1. What is the primary assumption of the author?
India’s stance towards women’s cricket was patronizing hitherto.
India’s women’s cricket team is not as ruthless as the Australian team.
India wasn’t critical of the women’s cricket hitherto, which was essential for them to progress.
BCCI has never questioned the form of the Indian women cricketers before.
Q.2. Which of the following statements weaken the author’s main argument?
Whenever Indian men’s cricket team receives hatred for losing a match, their performance further dips in subsequent matches.
After a decent level of hard work is done by the players, cricket is a game of chances and thus unpredictable. Even after knowing one’s flaws a person tends to sometimes perform badly in such a game.
It’s irrelevant to compare India’s women cricket team’s performance in 2017 with 2020, as in former year, most of the batting lineup were facing an injury.
A similar kind of result has been observed in high pressure games. Thus, more than being critical of their game, it’s imperative to strategize differently for such games.
Q.3. What the does the phrase “patronizing narrative” mean in the context of the passage?
A stance wherein one becomes a patron/supporter of another.
A narrative which focuses more on defending the person in question.
A stance wherein the person in question is shown in a condescending manner.
None of the above.
Q.4. What is the tone of the passage?
Acerbic
Cynical
Contemptuous
Critical
Q.5. Which of the following statements can be the appropriate ending of the passage?
Only then, the women’s cricket team would be able to achieve laurels in prestigious events like World Cups.
This would lead to a comprehensive examination of the flaws in the team, which will further aid in the progress of the team.
Therefore, our team would also be counted as one of the most ruthless teams in the world.
Only then, we would be able to develop a strong batting lineup to defeat the Aussies.
B. This hypothesis was born in 2008 in the wake of the global financial crisis, where male domination of the banking industry led to reckless decision-making groupthink. Admittedly it’s not that there is some singular masculinity. Instead multiple competing masculinities exist shaped by class, culture and other factors. But that maleness is the no 1 risk factor for homicides across many countries, speaks to the undisputed reality of what a combination of nature and nurture has delivered. Introduction of diversity (with doses of estrogenal prudence) in decision-making is a logical way to mitigate testosterone linked aggressive, high risk behavior and achieve better outcomes. The thing about toxic masculinity is that, even disregarding its effects on others, it tends to create a very unhappy self. Boys don’t cry is a statement of both social and individual sickness. Even if one cannot generalize the character of all women, there is a very powerful social case for dialing down the testosterone overdose with female participation and leadership.
Q.6. Which of the following reflects the main idea of the passage?
If Testosterone and Oestrogen aren’t equal then the society wont be wholesome in nature
Femininity is an indispensable component of the society and seeks to balance the recklessness of masculinity
In order to mitigate testosterone, one must introduce oestrogen found in females
Domination of males in the banking sector led to reckless decisions further leading to the demand of females in the sector.
Q.7. Which of the following talks about a way to alleviate the effects of toxic masculinity?
Reducing male dominance
Giving less important decisions to men and more important ones to women
Introducing diversity in the working profile of various industries
Recognizing that there is toxic masculinity that prevails in the society
Q.8. ‘Boys don’t cry’ is used in the passage for which of the following reasons?
As an example, to display the effects of masculinity
As an example, to elucidate the requirement of diversity
As a quote to substantiate the recklessness of the society
As a social norm to show other social norms
Q.9. ‘This hypothesis’ relates to which hypothesis of 2008?
Men shouldn’t be in the banking sector
Women should be an urgent addition to the banking sector
Women are indispensable
The participation and leadership of women is necessary to balance the recklessness of men.
Q.10. Which of the following talks about high risk behavior of men?
Recklessness in the banking sector
Homicide
Both a and b
Neither a nor b
CURRENT AFFAIRS
Air pollution constitutes the most pressing environmental health risk facing our global population. It is estimated to contribute toward 7 million premature deaths a year, while 92% of the world’s population is estimated to breathe toxic air quality (WHO, 2016). In less developed countries, 98% of children under five breathe toxic air. As a result, air pollution is the main cause of death for children under the age of 15, killing 600,000 every year (WHO, 2018). In financial terms, premature deaths due to air pollution cost about $5 trillion in welfare losses worldwide (The World Bank, 2016). This report presents PM2.5 data made publicly available during 2019, in order to highlight the state of particulate pollution around the world and raise awareness about public access to air quality data.

Problem 2 (5 Questions)
The establishment of Islamic Courts (DarulQaza) is for the application & implementation of Shariat Laws on the Muslim Ummah. Establishment and functioning of Imarat-e-Sharia in Bihar and Orissa is a glaring example of DarulQaza. These courts are rendering great services to the masses in the aforesaid states particularly for Muslims. It is headed by Chief Qazi and there are about six courts of additionalQazi at the Headquarter and there are 34 Sub-Judicial Courts in different districts of Bihar.
These courts have been established to decide the disputes amongst the Muslims with regard to the Inheritance, marriage, divorce andwaqf in particular and other property related matters in accordance with Shariat Laws, so that the Muslims could be saved from costly and time taking procedure of general Courts of Land. Disputes are solved amicably, only judgements are not delivered, rather efforts are made to arouse the feeling of brotherhood, oneness and mutual love and affection between the parties in dispute. Fairness and transparent judicial pronouncement of these Islamic Courts have succeeded in attracting faith and confidence of majority of Muslims belonging to the state of Bihar and Orissa in particular and of other parts of India in general. The people believed in unbiased justice delivered by the Chief Qazi who perform the role of Judge.
All India Muslim Personal Law Board has also established DarulQaza in different parts of India. They are in Thane (Maharashtra), Akola Dholiya (Rajasthan), Indore (Madhya Pradesh), South & East Delhi, Asansol &Purulia (West Bengal), Lucknow&Sitapur (Uttar Pradesh).
The question of utmost importance before the Muslim Community is whether the Courts in India will accept the decisions given by DarulQaza or will they pay any attention to the decisions given by the aforesaid institution? If the decisions given by this Institution are not accepted by the Courts it will lose its face value. It will be a futile exercise. Generally, in India the Courts do not recognize the existence of Shariat Court.
In 2005 the Supreme Court admitted a Public Interest Litigation petition to examine the legality of the Islamic Shariah Court in the country allegedly posing challenge to the Indian Legal System. However, the Government of India in its affidavit had said that Fatwa's issued by Muslim Clerics are simply the opinions and cannot be imposed or enforced on anyone. The Court said DarulQaza and Nizam-e-Qaza are not parallel judicial system and did not prevent Muslims from setting up their case under the law of land.
[Extracted with editsfrom Relevance and Importance of DarulQaza in Contemporary India - A Critique, 20 ALJ (2012-13) 72]

The decision is binding on all the courts of India
Both a and b
Neither a nor b
Q.8. What according to the author is the reason of popularity for the Islamic Courts?

feeling of brotherhood and oneness
Less expensive dispute resolutions
Insufficient number of national courts

They do not intervene with the judiciary
People have faith in the chief Qazi
All of the above
Q.10. In a dispute between Shah Rukh and Amir, an Islamic court has asked both the parties to divide the property equally as a part of settlement and has asked Amir to pay a compensation of 50,000 rupees as punishment for the mental harassment caused to Shah Rukh. Amir has approached court against this decision.
Court can ask both of them to abide by the Settlement but not the punishment
Court can ask both of them to abide by the punishment but not the settlement
Court can disregard the complete decision
Court should consider the opinion of the Qazi

LOGICAL REASONING:
C | While all of them are the assumptions from the above passage, option c) highlights the main assumption which flows from the central idea of the passage. The central idea of the passage is that India isn’t critical about the game of the women cricketers which is hindering in their progress. Thus, in order for them to succeed they need to be familiarized with their shortcomings. As c) encaptures this idea it is the correct answer, whereas a), b) and d) are incorrect ones. | |
B | Though options b) and d) both seem appropriate, its option b) which argues against the main idea of the passage. The author, through the passage underscores that being critical of one’s game will result in one’s success. However, option b) highlights that luck also plays an important role and thus solely identifying flaws in one’s game won’t lead to success. Thus, b) is the correct answer. | |
B | Option a is irrelevant because patron and patronizing are two different concepts. Although patronizing means condescending, the context demands it to be portrayed as something defensive and seeks to justify the author’s thought. | |
