Their question: “Common good vs individual interest dilemma — attempted”
This PYQ ('The good of an individual is contained in the good of all') is the same common-good-versus-individual-interest theme, and the topper's Triple Talaq and Sabarimala illustrations directly serve a 'how to implement in public life' answer.
Key learnings from their answer
- ›Contemporary examples are mapped one-to-one onto the right ethical idea, US exit from the Paris accord and Brexit for international ethics (Q4a), Triple Talaq abolition and Sabarimala for common good vs individual interest (Q6), Nirbhaya/death penalty for Kantian motive (Q5b) -> pick a current example that directly illustrates the concept being tested, so the example proves the argument rather than decorating it.
- ›Every value in Section A is anchored to a NAMED thinker, and Gandhi's 'golden rule = mutual toleration' is further grounded in Jain anekantavada/syadvada (Q1a) rather than left as a bare assertion -> don't just name a concept, tie it to a specific philosopher and reinforce it with a second tradition so the marker sees depth, not a memorized line.
