( available in market.)Strategy in prelims.Score was not that great (105.34) but anyways my strategy was that I knew my error rate while attempting previous years. So I knew I have to attempt as much as possible. I did not attempt only those questions where I had no idea of any of the options or risk as very wrong.I attempted near about 85 questions.In first attempt i attempted hardly 70 questions and ended up missing the line. So I think you must try to attempt at least in 80s as no matter how tough the exam gets. Chances of cutoff falling very low in upsc are very low. Please see the change in previous years specially past 2 years. 3 years back it was totally current affair dominated. Past two years., paper has become a bit complex.Mains :After wasting a month crying about positive negative of result snd getting result as positive I realised I am in a mess. Alternate days for optional and gs and weekend half day for essay etc. Was tried.. My study buddies were shashi ranjan for prelims, sahil singh for mains and rest of the time ahead and Dr Rachna singh (my senior and bro like bro for rest of life) for optional:) we seriously sticked to studies and when I say seriously I mean no gossips. And of course.. Special thanks to Ishani Lohchab my childhood bestie for last minute gyan floods on topics of optional especially pharmacology. ☺☺☺For gs 1-4 I have read mains 365 of visionOther specifics1. Gs 1 - history from balyan sir notesSocial issues _ certain pdfs are available on mrunal website.( I can post the link for the same)I made handwritten notes compiling from best sources on net as well as mrunal and collected fodder ( by checking against topics in syllabus list) . Geography was largely done from same sources.. I practiced many diagrams in a blank a4 sized register with pen itself .. For eg, if question is on earthquake these three diagrams are to be made.. If it's on cyclone then these.. ( if you want I can upload certain pdfs of my rough notes online)Gs _2 polity notes of m puri and siddiqui sir ( available again anywhere) were done thoroughly. International relations.. Country specific markings were done on world map ( it became messy but I liked it because all the masala and relevant points of India and neighbourhood could be revised from one political map of India itself ) that if question comes regarding India maldives these ten points must be highlighted. Revised economic survey summary.. ( it's one of the best) It helped in all 4 papers in its own way.Gs_3 other than older sources, I saw the syllabus and saw many topics which were not covered thoroughly anywhere.. Collected there fodder from mrunal pdfs, govt websites and wikipedia.. Please do check syllabus here as for each word mentioned you must have quality content of at least three pages.Gs_4 prepared ethics in a week time. Read it first time there and then.Mrunal pdfs for basic knowledge about terms. Case studies are also good. Got photostated lukmaan ias notes and read them.2nd a. R. C. Every chapter has quotes.. And chapter 4 is great as it has some great material on probity in governance. So quotes in introductory mention were jotted down and also certain diagrams examples were beirfly copied.. It was a cursory reading so whatever I could get I copied. For famous personalities. .. I noted which ones are to be studied and wrote down two pages each about them in rough handwriting from wikipedia and mrunal again nd how I can use them. Certain theories were applied in many case studies for clear picture. We can discuss these in any length you guys want.Essay _had very high expectations so did my test series mentors but anyways at times upsc is unpredictable and whatever comes we should accept it with a big smile. I scored 115 in it.I love reading stories, books, I love observing things around me and then I use them as an example or story..Choose essay topics wisely.. I chose poverty ( most common) and customary morality( I guess here my essay might have become a bit of controversial..but these are guesses and what matters is score..( won't mention much because of my score(115).. For more details you guys can see my written answers in forum ias test series)Optional_Medical science.I left 60 marks paper blank due to Mismanaged time..Will discuss it in separate postStrategy in mains _It was race against time for me. I had never completed a single paper in my forumias test series and always completed in 3.30 hours or so.I wrote the fastest. Completed all the papers though could not underline but I guess upsc rewards for content so could score fairly in gs. Two coloured pens could obviously not be used because of time issue.. Used pilot pen.. Used pencils and colors in one or two diagrams like magma plume, ashghabad agreent map etcI did not leave a single question blank. Whether I knew it or not, I wrote it. I knew only factual five Points about chaitanya mahaprabhu ( that too prelims specific) yet I wrote 1 page on it. Similar was with bose Einstein condensate. Ethics gets very lengthy and writing became what we all doctors are famous for.. They were scribbles and bad hand writing. I approached case studies first.In between exam:Please don't waste time crying about how your previous paper went. I missed 60 marker in paper 1 of optional so I was all crying in the time in between and next paper itself. Irony is in both exams I scored 138. So we really cannot judge the attempt in mains. Just because some shit happened in some paper please don't let your next paper be ruined. Learn from my mistake rather than commiting blunder yourself.In evenings between exams, things used to become stressful, but it's for everyone. Please don't spend time discussing the paper at home with friends.. Here also I wasted time. Sleep at max by 1.30 no matter how much your brain wants to read more.Do reach centre at time, the schools don't allow late entry and it unnecessarily shoots adrenaline and increases stress.Check your pens, documents to carry etc before hand. Carry your water bottles if it's allowed.If sun light is irritating you in any sense don't feel awkward and ask them to cover the window. It happened with me on day one, couldn't be arranged so I carried chunni the next day.Most of all, be so confident about yourself that you can and will attempt any question that comes in your way. 100% syllabus is not possible and you just can't do it. Many a times people will say there exam was so nice paper was easy how could you attempt so bad and all.. Please avoid such people and rather block them for exam days. Trust the blessings, your struggle and God's purpose for you. You will succeed, just accept the fact that every step you are taking will lead you to the horizon of your dreams and it will become reality.Interview _This time I knew that in paper 1 of optional I have messed up so even if I don't get good score.. I will aim for 200+ in interview and work on my personality so that I manage to get any service in final list.. ( was expecting at the last)1. Mirror practice2. Discuss and debate things with people3. English speaking is not a greater issue but hesitation in speaking Is.4. Don't take extreme stands or one sided stands on topics like secular fabric of country, reservation or any other controversial issue, try to balance the positive negatives and always give a positive hopeful outlook at the end of your opinion. Don't be fatalist that nothing can be done on this issue. Always give hope. No country is perfect and every step in right direction is great achievement and all we need is to speed up the pace. We the youth are future of rising India and complaining about problems without giving hope and solutions is a futile exercise.Take extreme stand on certain issues like terrorism, drug abuse, women empowerment, dowry, patriarchy, honour killing, female feticide, caste divides, poverty,witch hunting etc, social and health issues.You always don't have to be calm middle path person but you should no where to sway and when to sway from the golden mean and that's in handful of circumstances only.Prepare your detailed application form like a holy book. Word by word in full details.. Please don't over elaborate, do take guidance while filling it. I wrote a lot so had to prepare a lot in depth.We can discuss interview strategy in a seperate post. I read three newspapers a day at this stage.My discussion buddies here were sahil singh( we discussed each conteoversial topic after indepth studies and reached conclusions and how to present them etc. ) and the one who corrected minute details of how I go wrong in mock or how mypace should have been and even more tiny stuff was abhishek phougat.Some extra stuff I didWhenever I used to read a boring or too much technical topic anywhere and I knew I would not revise it last day Or the fodder material in it is very important.. I would record the content in my own voice in my mobile and save the audio recording with topic name.. I would listen to that audio when I would get tired and my mind would behave unreceptive to the reading andunderstanding thing.I had green flash cards for geography ncerts and peach for history.. On last day of prelims.. Used them like deck of cards to shuffle and revise..I know it's all roughly written.. But I will keep on editing it and make it presentable and add various minute details I have missed...Forgive me for the grammar and spelling errors.. I am running on time deadlines.. All the very best future civil servants.. I know we all will make India proud one day and we will witness India at the top of world through our talent, largest strength and dedication towards country. Thank you all talented fellas for going through all this.

Tl; dr; not with current pay scales (The US military is facing a 'real war for talent' — but some valuable recruits could be scared away), juvenile activity levels (Pentagon: 7 in 10 Youths Would Fail to Qualify for Military Service), and the resulting self inflicted cognitive decline (Yes, We’re Becoming Less Smart. But What Can We Do About It?)There are studies, papers, analysis, and proposals, advocating for smarter recruits, say from M.C.Hover (USDS - JFSC):Future conflict for the United States will continue to grow in complexity and require the use of advanced technology, and service members across all branches of the military must be increasingly capable to meet these growing demands. This study will discuss the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), a tool used as a measurement of aptitude for entry to military service across all branches of the armed forces.In: https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/1034565.pdf, or:From: https://www.nagb.gov/content/nagb/assets/documents/what-we-do/sellman.docThat suggest effectiveness and readiness are a function of ASVAB scores. Essentially smarter soldiers are better soldiers.Similarly the press is full of supporting works, say: Science says IQ may be the best predictor of your potential to excel at work — and no one wants to hear it, as are the academic journals, say: (PDF) Why do IQ scores predict job performance?: An alternative, sociological explanation, while others report on the correlation between ASVAB and IQ percentiles, e.g. On SAT, ACT, IQ, and other psychometric test correlations, indicating the ASVAB is little more than an IQ test. Which would suggest standards should at least be maintained, but given pay, obesity rates, demographic changes, the commitment and education, the press is full of:Army is accepting more low-quality recruits, giving waivers for marijuana to hit targetsUS Army may be forced to relax physical requirements to recruit 'cyber…

Having done Master’s (by Research) in IIT Madras, and doing PhD in one of the best research groups in Europe, I like to think I know a thing or two about what is a PhD. It is a long answer, sorry about that.Here is what a PhD in generally entails, an extensive/thorough research into a topic, at the end of which you come up with something novel, develop your research into a manuscript which you submit to a ‘respectable’ journal. The manuscript then undergoes peer-review which is the process in which experts in the field check your work and at the end of the process either accept or reject your manuscript. It is the quality control process to make sure nobody does Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V job. Now the thing to keep in mind, not all journals are good, there are a lot of predatory journals which take money from people and publish sub-standard work without any peer-review process. It is an outlet for sub-standard researchers who cannot publish their work, who have not done anything during their PhD to have their name on something. Publishing is also a mandatory requirement for graduating. Finally, the PhD student compiles all his papers into a thesis which goes to a review board. In the review board, there will be ‘experts’ who judge the thesis based on its merits. On the basis of which the candidate is awarded a doctorate and he becomes a Doctor, a PhD.With this introduction, let us see if ‘Dr. Kanhaiya Kumar’ passes the basic smell test of a PhD.Generally universities make it a point to publish the PhD theses open-source so that the research they do can be helpful for others and easily accessible. However, if someone from outside wants to access JNU theses, they have to go through a long bureaucratic process or wait for three years embargo period. After three years of submission of the thesis, they might (who knows, they might not) upload it on Shodhganga the repository of Indian PhD theses. But, that should not deter us from reading what is in a thesis, because people generally publish 'research paper' of their work which can be accessed through the journal website.Here is the link to the ‘research’ paper Dr. Kanhaiya Kumar published: International Journal of Humanities, Engineering and pharmaceutical science. Anyone can download the paper, you just need to register (for free) and download by logging in.Now, a few things about the ‘journal’. He published his work in ‘INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES, ENGINEERING & PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES’. If you look at the title itself, you can see that it publishes everything from humanities, engineering and even pharmaceutical works. Nothing wrong in that, but it begs the question, who reviews the works submitted. So, let us look at the review board[1], as you can see, the so-called reviewer list has no real experts. It is general practice in academic research to submit your work to journals where there are experts from reputed institutions. Even a cursory glance at the reviewer and editorial board shows that here are people from ‘not-so-good’ institutions where no-real research happens. Moreover, we cannot even be sure if they are real people. There are no emails or any links to any of these people. Furthermore, you can see there are not even a single JNU professor on the list, which basically means either they don’t know about the journal, or don’t consider it to be ‘good’ journal. Also, the authors need to pay some ‘nominal’ fee to publish articles in the journal. PAID JOURNAL.Furthermore, the journal website says, they are indexed by Thomson Reuters, they have an impact factor of 5.484, if you check the Thomson Reuters website, the journal does not feature there, nor is the impact factor listed anywhere. The listed impact factor is some obscure Morocco science impact factor of 6 or something. Meaning, this is a shady journal which is not indexed anywhere. The journal is so local, it's proprietor is sitting somewhere in the paper mill colony, Balmiki Nagar, Lucknow [2], but talks of International collaborations this and that. They have this special award called 'Udaan', which they have conferred on a famous US neuro-scientist[3] . I contacted the professor who had been conferred the ‘Udaan’ award and asked him if he knew about this. I have masked the contact details for obvious reasons.This is their modus operandi, they contact genuine researchers and tell them they will award them honorary awards this and that. If and when the researcher says yes (who does not like awards) these journals derive legitimacy by putting photos of those people. In this case, even though Dr. Perry[4]has asked them to delist his name, IJHEPS editors or proprietors have not done that.On a side note, a librarian in Colorado university - Bealls, used to publish the list of predatory journals, here is a link to the Bealls list: Standalone Journals, enter IJHEPS and you can see that the journal in which Kanhaiya Kumar published his so-called ‘reserach’ is listed as a predatory journal.The menace of predatory journals in India is unparalleled. Recognising the importance of maintaining the academic excellence, UGC periodically publishes a list of journals[5]which are considered to be respectable. Before 2019, IJHEPS was approved by the UGC as an acceptable journal. However, it later came to light that a lot of predatory journals were also included in the UGC approved list. Read this Nature[6]article to understand the severity of the problem. The subsequent analysis of the list by Prof. Bhushan Patwardhan et al. [7] revealed that over 88% of the non-indexed journals in the UGC approved list were probably of low quality. Following the publication of this article, UGC cancelled the old list of approved journals and set up the UGC-Consortium for Academic Research Ethics (CARE)[8] committee under the chairmanship of Prof. Bhushan Patwardhan. Under UGC-CARE, updated journals list were published in 2019. IJHEPS was removed from the list of approved journals because of its dubious credentials. The journal IJHEPS does not feature in the list of journals approved by UGC, check here [9]. UGC finally realised its mistake and removed IJHEPS from the list of approved journals, but the journal website still shows that it is UGC-approved and flaunts its cancelled UGC serial number. Btw, the journal has not published anything in the last two years.Now, even a cursory glance at the journal gives a wrong vibe when you cannot find its indexing anywhere on standard indexing websites, that should tell you that it is not a high-quality journal. Okay, you accept your work is not high-quality so you want to publish in a non-indexed journal, even then you should make sure the reviewer board has experts from top universities. JNU is one of the premier institutes in India, you would expect so-called brilliant, academically sound geniuses to recognise a shady journal when they encounter one. But, here knowingly or unknowingly ‘Dr. Kanhaiya Kumar’ decided to publish it in a shady journal. Any half-decent researcher would know that someone publishes here if the work is worthless. But, ‘Dr. Kanhaiya’ could not even recognise he is making a mistake and his supervisor allowed it. This is India’s top central university. Facepalm.Okay, the journal is shady, but lets judge the article not based on its association with a shady journal but based on its merits.Here is the abstract of Kanhaiya’s paper:Interestingly, his supervisor’s name does not feature in the paper. It is general practice to put supervisor’s name in a PhD paper because, he is also involved in the work and it also provides some merit into the work. Generally, professors avoid publishing in predatory journals because it is a black mark on their profile. Is Kanhaiya’s supervisor a good researcher? His PhD was supervised by Dr. S. N. Malakar. The only information available about him (he is not there on Google scholar or any of the reputed academic research websites) is that he has written 'few' books. Generally professors make it a point to list out their international peer-reviewed, publications in high-impact factor journals. Somehow, Dr. Malakar doesn't think it is important. Moreover, a supervisor who allows his student to commit academic fraud by allowing publication in a shady journal is as much guilty as the student himself. From academic view point, it is not an understatement that his supervisor is also of the same ‘standard’ (what standard is that, we will see eventually) as ‘Dr. Kanhaiya Kumar’. Yatha Raja, Thatha Praja. If you want a comparison, here is a link to Prof. A. R. Ranganathan’s profile on the JNU web page, look at his publications and credentials: Anand Ranganathan, you can clearly see he does some good work. Why is it so hard to find anything about the ‘research’ or the so-called ‘African studies’ of Mr. S. N. Malakar? Your guess is as good as mine.So, in the abstract the hard-working researcher Kanhaiya Kumar who says he did not waste his time in JNU, and he did not mooch off the tax payer’s money says this, ‘this paper attempts to analyse the process of Social Transformation from the formation of Union of South Africa to Republic of South Africa and the end of apartheid regime.’ This comes after a bunch of he did that, they did that, we ‘attempt’ to do this. So, they are ‘analyzing’ the process of social transformation in South Africa. We don’t see any method how they analyze this or whatever. But, hey he is a revolutionary so he must have done something ground breaking. Let’s see the body of the paper.In the first section, he introduces us to the concept of social transformation.For two pages, he rants on and on about who defined what, this guy did that, that guy did this, and ‘Marxism’ is ‘a science of social sciences (sic)’ or a scientific apparatus to understand the entire processes of the society (whatever that means), he also introduces us to the ‘Manifesto of the Communist party’, which according to me is the most important part of the paper. (2 pages/7 pages over).Next he talks about the formation of union of South Africa, which is a literature review of how Union of South Africa came into existence (4.5 pages/ 7 pages over), the ‘actual’ research has not started yet, I am not really sure it takes 5 years to reproduce the ‘Manifesto of The Communist Party (sic)’ and a basic literature review of African union. Leave all that, a basic Wikipedia page would have more information than this ‘research journal’.Then he gives a literature review of the formation of the Republic of South Africa. This happened in 1967, that happened in 1980, one more thing happened in 1989. Where is he ‘analyzing’ the formation I do not know. Again, a Wikipedia page would have more detailed discussion on the topic than a ‘research’ paper by this PhD scholar. (6.5 pages/7 pages over)After this brief literature survey, right away comes the conclusion, his ‘goal’ as stated in the abstract was an ‘attempt to analyse the process of Social Transformation from the formation of Union of South Africa to Republic of South Africa and the end of apartheid regime.’ His conclusion is, considering the case of South Africa it can be argued that, Social Transformation is the comprehensive study of the entire worth of a given society. Well, he stated that in the abstract, gave a bunch of definitions and a Wiki history of South Africa and writes it is important. SURE. Where is the analysis he promised the reader in the abstract? Facts are not analysis, what is his ‘expert opinion’ we will never know, because he is busy listing the events from some history book.At least in the conclusion, I expected him to give his opinion or the so-called analysis, again he keeps stating the obvious facts without venturing in to the realm of using the brain.A journal publication is a mandatory requirement to get the PhD degree. Since, Mr. BiharToTihar could not publish it in a proper journal, he published it in a predatory journal with dubious credentials. The guy who once said his family cannot afford a gas cylinder, somehow could afford to pay this journal enough money to publish his work. FYI a full-time PhD student in a central university gets around 25–30k per month. If he wanted, he could've bought a gas cylinder for his mother, it says a lot about the kind of politics he represents. All the main-stream media published about his graduation saying, ‘Oh Humra Kanha finished his thesis (love love), he is Doctor now, he wants a job, he is asking Modi to provide jobs to the Youth’. (see here: JNU's Kanhaiya Kumar Says He Wants a Job After Submitting his PhD). Nobody went into the quality of the work, if he really produced something meaningful. Remember, on top of the subsidised education, these people get money to go to conferences abroad, the government gives students in central universities around 3 lakh Rs. to travel for two International conferences. They are supposed to present their work there and get feed back from experts. If these people have not done any work (which is the case here), what do they do going abroad? Vacation on tax payer’s money?Now, to conclude, I had a Bachelor student who assisted me for two months and carried out a part of my research. He did more work in two months than what this ‘revolutionary’, ‘liberal heart throb’ did in ‘five’ years. These revolutionary PhD scholars in JNU start complaining when an honest tax payer asks them to stop mooching off the government money. As I have clearly shown, this is the quality of work, a revolutionary, brilliant researcher like Kanhaiya Kumar in JNU humanities publishes at the end of his decade-long research career. Funnily enough, Kanhaiya Kumar’s supervisor said Kanhaiya put my head high by his work. This makes me wonder, where his head was when he supervised Kanhaiya into publishing this ‘great research work’.Here is what his supervisor said once, ‘after being closer in the academic interaction I could know him better as a brilliant student whenever we discussed some of the writings of the African literary personalities like Woke Soyenka, Ngugi-Wa-Thango, and Chine Wa Achebe.’ Looking at his work, ‘brilliant’ is an understatement for Kanhaiya Kumar.Now, Kanhaiya Kumar wants to enter academia, and looking for a post of Asst. Professor. We keep wondering why cannot India produce good researchers like JC Bose, Meghnad Saha or CV Raman anymore, why is there such a brain drain?Here is a reason, because in India mediocrities who masquerade as brilliant are celebrated and we fund such mediocrities in research.Everyone hailing this fraud as a public intellectual, remember the old saying, 'every country gets the leaders it deserves'. India has long been the land of intellectual achievements, it deserves better leaders than this fraud.Read more at:Kanhaiya put my head high, says his PhD supervisor | India News - Times of India’Edit 1: Did he write the thesis himself?There are a lot of grammatical errors in the paper, so I guess he wrote it himself. On the other hand, there is nothing in the paper anyway. Look at that paper, a high school student would do a better literature review than this genius.Edit 2: Somebody said only JRF students get PhD stipend and kind of hinted that Kanhaiya might not have been getting stipend, and could not have afforded a gas cylinder.Here is a link to the list of registered students at JNU: http://jnu.ac.in/sites/default/files/RegisteredPhDStudents2016-17.pdfSearch for Kanhaiya kumar, entry number 2042.The website of CAS says all PhD students get UGC fellowships. Our ‘hero’ Kanhaiya Kumar also availed fellowship awarded by UGC. UGC gives every student 25000 Rs. per month first 2 years and 28000/- Rs in the last three years (there might be a little variation here and there).Here is how much an Indane gas connection costs -> Indane Gas Price: New Connection, Cylinder, Regulator, Refill. If Kanhaiya wanted, he could have bought a gas connection for his poor mother. In this video[10], when Rahul Kanwal asks him gas cylinder Modiji diye hain kya, he says gas cylinder toh feasible nahin hain isliye Chulha use karte hain. Any middle class person would know a family would utilize a 14.2 kg gas cylinder for atleast 15–20 days. Even if we take this hero’s words at face value, we know he is earning 25000/- Rs. per month (which is like average monthly income of millions of Indians), he does not help his mother. Kanhaiya used to get subsidised hostel, food, internet access everything in JNU (living in JNU is heaven, everything is free, free, free). However, his mother was burning roti on a Chulha. The guy who asks for Azadi from poverty, even when he has money (plenty at that by the standards of a poor person), he does not give Azadi from Chulha to his own mother. A 14.2 kg gas cylinder costs somewhere around 500–600 Rs, with 25000/- Rs monthly salary, this guy says he cannot afford a gas cylinder. And we are being given sermons on poverty by people who cannot even take care of their own family. Incredible India.I repaid my education loan and bought few things for my family with the small 8000/- Rs stipend I used to get when I did my Master’s in IIT.Why are we letting the people like Kanhaiya cheat poor people claiming they are poor? This guy is an ‘intellectual’ and we have people defending him. God save India.It reminds me of the recent interview of a PhD student from JNU. When somebody asked him what do you do with your scholarship, he said I bought an iPad, ‘isme main padhaai karta hoon’. Any middle class person would know an iPad (any Apple product for that matter) is a luxury, it is for people who are not pressed for money. Any reasonable person, when he desperately needs a tablet (JNU provides free internet, library and all sorts of facilities it is not a need, but fine) he could have bought a cheaper Samsung or some tablet, not shell a lakh on an iPad. Priorities. The disgraceful person even took 16–20k from his poor parents for the iPad. With the iPad in hand he said, ‘I am very poor, thats why I need subsidy.’H.Y.P.O.C.R.I.T.E.Edit 3: Somebody also raised another question saying, this is just one paper and it is not complete thesis, and JNU professors are smart enough to judge it by themselves. In other words, no need of publishing or peer-review.CUTE.Hello cupcakes, here is how it works, people can write whatever they want in their thesis, and if their supervisors also do not care about research but only about running their agendas they will simply accept whatever their student writes. Here, research is not the main goal, but student politics, the ideological fights and the revolutions are. Moreover, if you belong to an ecosystem like JNU, the external examiners will also be JNU by-products, there will be NO real scrutiny of the work.That is exactly why the peer-review process and publishing your work in a ‘research’ journal is important. If a thesis written in JNU and checked only by JNU professors is the only product of your PhD, I am sorry, no academician would take you seriously.I am trying to get access to his PhD, if and when I get it I will dissect it like I did his ‘research’ paper. And a humble request, if you are studying in JNU, go to the library and send me a copy of his thesis.Anyway, in five years of PhD and three years of MPhil (oh btw, he worked on the same social transformation thing in his MPhil too, not African union but Senegal, here is the thesis: http://opac.jnu.ac.in:8000/theses/TH22105.pdf), the revolutionary published only one shady journal article, gives me ‘high hopes’ about his thesis. If you check it carefully, first two pages of this PhD ‘research’ paper is just copy-paste of his MPhil thesis. ‘Dr. Kanhaiya Kumar’ published his paper in a predatory journal, says a lot about his ethics. Unless and until a research gets published in a peer-reviewed International journal (Indian journals have a bad reputation because of such fraudulent activities) it is as good as non-existent. I can also write something about, ‘Technological advancement and Social transformation in Wakanda: A case study of the Marvel universe’, pay some money and get it published. ‘Dr. Kanhaiya Kumar’ indulged in academic malpractice, PERIOD. There is a famous adage in Kannada, ‘a thief is a thief whether he steals a small areca nut or an elephant’.Edit 4: I am accused of being biased against Communists.Let me make it easy for everyone reading this, I have no regard for the people who romanticise poverty and cheat the poor with elaborate dreams of the dictatorship of the proletariat which ultimately leads to senseless violence. Ideology which has resulted in the worst of the dictatorships possible, which has resulted in the deaths of millions of innocents should be opposed with all our might. I am a free-market capitalism supporter, I know for sure Communism is not the way forward for India. India was stuck in the socialist dark age till we opened our markets in the 90s. Look at the state of Bengal today with all that rosy Communism. India does not need that, and people should fight it.Edit 5: People talking about colonialism to defend communismColonial empires were inherently racist, the British never looked at us as equals. Apples and Oranges. If you want to really compare, compare the 60s-70s India with 2020 India, or even Mao’s China with present China (which is basically Capitalist Communism, an oxymoron, but fine). Before the 1991 market reforms, 'socialist economy' was forced on us. The Nehru family took cues from the Soviet Union and China, they followed them in every possible way. For those who don’t know, Indian five year plans were copy-paste of five year plans of the Soviet Union. Indian PSUs are copy-paste of the Soviet state-controlled industries.If you want to understand how the poverty in India has been reducing post-1991 market reforms read the research paper by Datt et al. (2016) or read this article - Revisiting poverty reduction in India with 60 years of data. To quote them, ‘Even though a trend decline in poverty emerged around the early 1970s, the year 1991-92 – the benchmark year for economic reforms in India – stands out as the year of the great divide. Markers of a structural break are many. There was a significant spurt in economic growth, driven by growth in the tertiary sector and to a lesser extent, secondary sector. The pace of poverty reduction also accelerated, with a three- to fourfold increase in the proportionate rate of decline in the post-1991 period. The acceleration in rural poverty decline was even higher than that for urban poverty.’Ever since the market reforms, we have been lifting the poor out of poverty faster than we ever could. The communism which I am talking about is the maddeningly authoritative state control of every sphere of life, which is essentially what the 'Communism' has led to everywhere in the world. People should have the freedom to do what they want, run their businesses how they want, buy goods from wherever they want. Yes, there needs to be a control to make sure environmental and other concerns are addressed but dictatorship is never the answer.On-paper Communism is great, everybody knows that, the ideals are lofty, but we know the end result, Soviet Union, China etc etc. And please don't tell 'real Communism' has not been tried anywhere. I have heard it so many times. It has failed time and time again for the simple reason that people love being free, and dictatorships of any kind ultimately devolve into oppression, because hey, human nature. If anything, the paths taken by Western countries like Netherlands, with free markets and universal health care, social security is good. But closing down the markets, demonising the capitalists does not help. Let me say it again, India was dirt-poor before the 90s. It is only after freeing the markets that we developed. The poor in 2020 is definitely better off than the poor before 1991, at least now the government has more money to spend. It is the capitalists who created the wealth which the government could then spend. The Communists of today have no other job than demonising the industrialists. Look at the state of West Bengal after decades of Communist rule. There are million other examples. I don't need the Communist sermons on how I am blindfolded. I was born in a poor family, I know what poverty is. Anyone who cheats the poor with unrealistic ideologies deserve to be countered. If your comment is about how I am blindfolded and etc, don't bother to comment. I am not uninformed, I am just realistic. And please stick to the critique of the revolutionary’s work.Edit 6: People asking me about the certificates of BJP leadersFirstly, I am not BJP spokesperson, you can go and ask them directly. Secondly, the only legitimacy of Kanhaiya Kumar is his ‘student leader’ and ‘PhD’ status. I am just a concerned researcher about the state of Indian universities. I wrote the answer for the simple reason that Kanhaiya professed his interest in becoming a professor, which will lead to more Kanhaiyas and bad research.Edit 7: People saying publishing is not necessary and even UGC has recommended doing away with the mandatory requirementYou argument would be valid, if and only if the work which is being done is surely of good quality or of some confidential nature which cannot be published. Before making this line of argument, ask yourself, how can we trust a work if everyone who checks the thesis is from JNU? Peer-review is a time-tested process for this reason only. There needs to be a quality-check, do not defend something for the sake of defending.Footnotes[1] International Journal of Humanities, Engineering and pharmaceutical science[2] International Journal of Humanities, Engineering and pharmaceutical science[3] International Journal of Humanities, Engineering and pharmaceutical science[4] International Journal of Humanities, Engineering and pharmaceutical science[5] https://www.ugc.ac.in/pdfnews/5283580_UGC-Cancelled-List.pdf[6] Why India is striking back against predatory journals[7] https://www.currentscience.ac.in/Volumes/114/06/1299.pdf[8] Consortium for Academic and Research Ethics (CARE)[9] Consortium for Academic and Research Ethics (CARE)[10] Kanhaiya Kumar Exclusive From His Home Town Begusarai | Jab We Met With Rahul Kanwal
