On the side note , few words of appreciation on your editorials.They are exhaustive , qualitative and to the demand .Last year during mains exams and Interview , they proved to me of immense help.
As a senior player of this game , I propose some topics to you if you can come up with editorials in your conceived style, will be a boon to all of us.
Following is list of topics I strongly feel , they might be asked in mains papers directly or indirectly-
1.Governor vs CM-?
2.Judicial activism and overreach or executive inaction?Reinstating governments-a new initiative.
3.Punjab-udta or dubta ?From high prosperity to burden of drugs-how , why?where the bug stops?
4.UCC-Can we have it in India in present situation?deciphering UCC in right way is a challenging job-who will take on responsibility?
5.Dalit issue-is it uprising or fall out of positive discrimination?
6.PCPNDT ACT Vs MTP act—two aspects of same coins?Do MTP act be decoded in courts ?
7.Cow the MATA—-symbol of religious faith or a political doctrine ?

Hi Tree,
The moment I saw your site, it behold me .There is no comparison , you guys specifically excel at the site outlook , design , aesthetics and most importantly NO ADS – no one wants to see underwear ads while reading , they are just annoying.
Seems you have done enough research on aesthetics and font design so that readers get a a very pleasant reading experience.
most importantly I was very impressed the answers you gave for the debates , i am looking forward to be part of your mains program as well.
I joined your prelims series and the questions were very well framed and at par with UPSC.If i remember correctly there were nearly 10 question from your last mock test before the exam itself which was asked in the exam.
The set on environment and culture were too good.As you mentioned to treat them as notes , so i did and it was beneficial.
Also I saw the prelims keys and your logical way of approaching question is what i want to learn.
Thank you UTree, Looking forward for MAINS program.

Thank You UPSCTREE for such a noble effort and the personal guidance which i got from you was really helpful.Forever in debt .Your essay review are second to none.Very comprehensive and insightful.No one write 4 page of review like you do.
Thank you Sir.
Yours “to-the-point” and objective analysis of each an every issue is really commendable, especially the current affairs and essays section. Totally banking on you all for the current affairs sections for 2016 as compared to available myriad other websites for UPSC preparations.
Kindly do not cease these initiatives. Thank you once again for your efforts.
