Reading Comprehension passages are an integral part of the English section of government exams. However, for beginners, such passages can seem difficult. The Hindu Editorial is an excellent tool to improve the reading and understanding of passages. The language is very similar to the passages that generally appear in the English section of government exams, and each paragraph is filled with exam-relevant vocabulary and real-world topics. First, go through the vocabulary section and read the meanings of the words, their Hindi translations, synonyms, and antonyms. Then read the summary of the passage provided to you. Once you know the meanings of the words, read the passage carefully, and you will feel that it is much easier to understand the main idea and tone of the passage. This method not only improves the understanding of reading comprehension passages but also builds a strong vocabulary base for cloze tests and sentence fillers in the exam. Doing this every day will boost your confidence in the English section and help improve your scores in sections such as Reading Comprehension, Cloze Tests, and Sentence Fillers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devil in the details<\/strong>: on the next phase of the Election Commission of India\u2019s SIR<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ECI\u2019s SIR must not repeat Bihar\u2019s glaring<\/strong> anomalies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Bihar, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has now embarked on<\/strong> a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in 12 States and Union Territories. Its stated goal is unambiguous<\/strong> \u2014 to update the rolls which have been affected by frequent migration, dead voters and other inaccuracies, which have been pointed out by political parties, the Congress in particular. Yet, the experience in Bihar suggests that the process, as envisaged<\/strong>, could risk the disenfranchisement<\/strong> of a significant number of people. It was conducted on a short timeline \u2014 roughly a month for enumeration<\/strong> and a month for claims and objections. The most significant change now is the formal provision of a \u201cNotice period\u201d for hearing and verification for about 54 days. The hurried<\/strong> approach in Bihar produced glaring statistical anomalies in the final roll. The gender ratio fell to 892 women per 1,000 men from 907 in the pre-SIR roll \u2014 well below recent survey figures for Bihar. Women voters were disproportionately excluded in areas with higher female than male turnout<\/strong> in the general election 2024, particularly in the 18-29 age group under the \u201cpermanently shifted\u201d category. High female turnout relative to low registration typically indicates male migration, yet more women were deleted despite the SIR\u2019s stated aim to remove migrants not \u201cordinarily resident\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These anomalies seem to be built into the ECI\u2019s procedural framework, where the primary onus<\/strong> of verification is unduly<\/strong> borne<\/strong> by citizens and party representatives \u2014 Booth Level Agents \u2014 beyond Booth Level Officers. Expecting members from parties to ensure the inclusion of all eligible voters is problematic as they are more concerned about political competition. The ECI\u2019s non-response to the anomalies \u2014 anyone left out can re-register with the help of BLAs \u2014 is inadequate<\/strong>. After the Supreme Court\u2019s intervention<\/strong>, the ECI had to publish lists of all excluded voters with reasons, leading to some correction. An amended <\/strong>model is now being replicated <\/strong>across a larger canvas<\/strong>. While the ECI\u2019s provision <\/strong>for BLOs to make three house visits is welcome, temporary migrants who might be absent during the enumeration window despite remaining \u201cordinarily resident\u201d by law, could still lose out<\/strong>. The ECI\u2019s stated mitigation, allowing electors to fill the Enumeration Form online, is insufficient. This provision overlooks <\/strong>the digital divide<\/strong> and literacy challenges, placing an undue<\/strong> burden on voters who are not physically present to be assisted by a BLO. As this exercise unfolds, it is incumbent upon<\/strong> civil society, the media and parties to assume <\/strong>a role of intense vigilance lest <\/strong>this affects the integrity <\/strong>of India\u2019s electoral democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
