RTI is taken as an extention to art 19(1)(a) so y can’t b it regarded as fundamental right?
M.P singh’s Constitution of india regard its as fundamental rights and various time SC has taken it as fundamental rights
This right, to information , was explicitly held to be a fundamental right under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution of for the first time by Justice KK Mathew in State of UP v. Raj Narain, (1975) 4 SCC 428. This view was followed by the Supreme Court on a number of decisions and after public demand, the Right to Information Act, 2005 was enacted and brought into force.

RTI stands for Right To Information and has been given the status of a fundamental right under Article 19(1) of the Constitution. Article 19 (1) under which every citizen has freedom of speech and expression and have the right to know how the government works, what role does it play, what are its functions and so on.

This is according to:

“Chand Bibi (1550–1599 CE), also known as Chand Khatun or Chand Sultana, was an Indian Muslim woman warrior. She acted as the Regent of Bijapur (1580–90) and Regent of Ahmednagar (1596–99).” I quote wiki.

But her fight against Akbar was while she was the acting regent of the Ahmednagar sultanate, so Ahmednagar is the right answer.

May 7th, 2012 at 6:31 PM
it makes a difference… because the level of mercury rises in a barometer due to the pressure exerted on the mercury in the petridish… therefore the level of mercury rises in the test-tube because some mercury enters the test-tube.

Wasn’t satyagraha first practiced by Gandhi in South Africa against the policies of apartheid? Yes, in India it was definitely in Champaran but I don’t think the question mentioned it to be India-specific.

Since Tamil and Sanskrit were options also, you should have logically concluded that they’re trying to ask you which one was most recent. Even NLUD can come up with a bit of current affairs once in a while!
And both the Gandhi questions are easily answered. 1.FIRST experiment with satyagraha- South Africa. 2.Political Debut- Champaran. No doubt about both.

answer for sprout one is “The metabolic activity of resting seeds increases as soon as they are hydrated during soaking. Complex biochemical changes occur during hydration and subsequent sprouting. The reserve chemical constituents, such as protein, starch and lipids, are broken down by enzymes into simple compounds that are used to make new compounds.”

This list has an answers wrong:

That being said, Right to Information is a constitutional right and Gandhi first used Satyagraha in South Africa. He used it in Champaran for the first time IN INDIA. He had done so before in South Africa while demanding rights for Indian who lived there.

There is a huge difference between ‘first time’ and ‘first time in India’

The question was ‘Analogous to earth’s MOLTEN core, what forms the moon’s core?’
The molten part of the earth’s core is technically the outer core while the inner core of the earth is solid.

So analogically the outer core of the moon is VISCOUS LIQUID while the inner core is solid as well.

Unfortunately, 105.
No matter how tough the paper is, there are always more than 50 students who do score well!
History proves that. inspite of CLAT 2011 being the shittiest paper ever, People did score 173. So, the cut off will never go below 100. It will be 105+
