The Q & A of Mr G in iyer 123 dated 1/11/22 has a certain angle of truth more or different or totally different than reported which alone are dealt below: Q2 I don't know the names mentioned by G ; but Bihar is an excellent center of intelligence. Magadha blood is not lacking. Many toppers of the civil services emanate from Bihar. Many reputed people are from Bihar. That area has extremes. Q6 I saw 2 different answers. IAS is only a position but not the train driver?. Don't add masalas to distinguish. Q7 Green tomatoes not Good? What is science ?. Nowadays it has become a rare commodity. It does not turn red etc. Red and Green are different . I have been consuming it for the past > 7 decades and had it even the day before yesterday. Q9 I do not know the intention of this query. The kejriwal request is purely a political game. All the oppositions had started the dream of capturing back the powers from Mr Modi by Hook and Crook. BJP is picturised as a religious, Hindu Party of ancient Vedas and Sanskrit, to create divisive forces. What is to be printed within the constitution is decided by the Govt and the Parliament. Already money is used for Puja or even throwing over the weddings or on even dancers and prostitutes. The asking for is not erroneous but asking at this juncture alone is viewed as defective. Other religions cannot misconstrue it since other religion backed countries' notes, containing their words and languages, are used by the other residents of those nations. So other religions cannot interfere . But timing is important. Kejriwal could have retired as IRS . Q10 Again a non factual question. One amp is the amount of current produced by a force of one volt acting through the resistance of one ohm. watch this video https://youtu.be/9iKD7vuq-rY KR IRS 11122
