Raman completed school when he was just eleven years old and spent two years studying in his father’s college. When he was only thirteen years old, he went to Madras (which is now Chennai) to join the B.A. course at Presidency College. Besides being young for his class, Raman was also quite unimpressive in appearance and recalls,…..‘in the first English class that I attended, Professor E.H. Elliot addressing me, asked if I really belonged to the junior B.A. class, and I had to answer him in the affirmative’. He, however, stunned all the sceptics when he stood first in the B.A. examinations.
Seeing what a brilliant student he was, his teachers asked him to prepare for the Indian Civil Services (ICS) examination. It was a very prestigious examination and very rarely did non-Britishers get through it. Yet Raman had impressed his teachers so much that they urged him to take it up at such an early age. In spite of their student’s brilliance, the plan was not to work. Raman had to undergo a medical examination before he could qualify to take the ICS test and the Civil Surgeon of Madras declared him medically unfit to travel to England! This was the only examination that Raman failed, and he would later remark in his characteristic style about the man who disqualified him, ‘I shall ever be grateful to this man,’ but at that time, he simply put the attempt behind him and went on to study Physics.

After all the hardwork and pain, the last thing i expeccted was getting scr***d in Hindi. I am a south indian studied CBSE syllabus. So the only language I can attempt is Hindi. If they want to ask Such papers then they should not say that it is a standard tenth level paper. Maybe 2 years of studies made me too old! So they wanted new blood with superior underrstanding so that this paper becomes a tenth standard level paper!
Adios for Now Mrunal. I ll start my prep in Feb again. Till then keep the gems rolling!!!
Agree with you, this paper was anything but 10th standard…. lolz 10th standard…
what s prabhusattha!!! :O this seems to be picked up from ncert sociology paper of 11th… i remember reading this… still could not make the precis. spent 25 mins n cudnt complete…
prabhusatta means sovereignty.
you are right i was so messed up in the precis writing…….rashtra rajya and rashtra etc etc was so confusing….
@Raghubeer, Same situation here. Tamilwala & Fan of Thalaivar Rajinikanth but CBSE student,so Hindi ka paper ka problem, dimag kharaab kar diya hai dost.
I dont know wether I should be glad or sad looking at everyone in the same Boat… :)
first of all the paper of hindi was not that tough
and secondly the paper of hindi had to be tough to equate the scene with english paper
@Ashutosh: Hindi paper was tough.It was lengthy and had difficult words.
@ Ashutosh
Bhai this paper is relative. If your strength is Hindi, You will find it easy. I have friends who wrote the paper with me. They are from Hindi Heartland. MP, UP. They too said that the precis and passage they could not understand. Also if you have already having an idea of state and nation state etc it will be easier too. FYI last time I got 150 and the paper I finished in 2 hours n my Hindi is very weak. This time I could not complete questions for almost 30 marks. SO Many people like me feel it is difficult!
Yaar hindi paper had to be that much tough and if you are comparing it with english paper then the level of toughness was lower. And my medium is English. Also about state and nation state….these are polity terms…so they were not that much alien words
i too hav the same probl raghu, iam from andhra studied in cbse kv , feeling this hindi paper more harder than gs papers ,i think now even hindi needs to be taken care of as like other subjects, myself i wrote mains in 2012 and could clear hindi marginally. any way let me know any good hindi books if there are any , to brush up the old forgotten hindi skills , tthank u
The best preperation you can do is that read hindi books of NCERT. Really good books. Also I would suggest atleast keep noting words which you might have to use commonly in the exam. Like Terrorism is Athankwaad. Women empowerment is Mahila sashakteekaran. I could not get these words while writing. I had to stop and think and then write. So the flow gets broken. All the Best bro!
This book is a compilation of Hindi papers from UPSC exams, their solutions, list of muhavaras,paryayvachi shadb, etc. I googled some months ago and this book was recommended. http://www.flipkart.com/samanya-hindi-pb-unique-pub-hindi-unique-publishers-new-delhi-paperback-hindi/p/itmdyur5pmv7ynrq?q=Samanya+Hindi+PB+by+Unique+Pub-Hindi-UNIQUE+PUBLISHERS-NEW+DELHI-Paperback+%28Hindi%29
Can undrstnd ur situation man. Its nevr about getting selectd for ths exam its jst to prove ur own worth whch d society measures in terms of pass or fail. Ur alchol effect is speaking d truth. Wht wil a person gain? Power, status…blah blah… N ppl speak tht thy r going to work for nation n society. Have these so called social service motivated ppl hv evr work for their own family or their own locality? M nt talking abt few who might hv, m talking abt d majority… D main motivation for most is to fulfil their family n othr ppls expctations abt power status… Wht abt realising who thy really are! I m nt here to discus wit anyone abt anythng. M jst here to expres myslf. Sme may agree othrs may argue…whtevr, Who cares in ths selfish wrld abt both d opinions…
Exactly. I lost all interest in preparations, when I realized I was study for prestige, power and money, that too not for myself, but, for my family. Sab moh maya hai. I am going tomorrow to Rishkesh and will get lost there. Please take good care of this country fellas.
