Previous Year Mains Questions

Topics : Anti-Defection Law (GS-2)

Q. The role of individual MPs (Members of Parliament) has diminished over the years and as a result healthy constructive debates on policy issues are not usually witnessed. How far can this be attributed to the anti-defection law which was legislated but with a different intention? (2013)

The movie Jai Bheem is based on the Irula tribe, a denotified tribe from Tamil Nadu.

The film is based on a 1993 incident in Cuddalore, when an Irular man was arrested, brutalized, and murdered in police custody for a theft he did not commit.

Do you know?


Astrosat, Indiaโ€™s first multi-wavelength space observatory, was built with a mission life of five years but has now operated for nine. Based on fuel readings, it is expected to last for another two years.


It was launched on a PSLV-XL on 28 September 2015.
