Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), often described as “sedition by another name,” differs from the old Section 124A IPC mainly because:
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
Section 124A IPC (old sedition law) targeted “disaffection” against the government.
Section 152 BNS widens the scope to criminalise acts that endanger “sovereignty, unity, and integrity,” lowering the prosecution threshold.
Unlike the UK (which repealed sedition in 2009) or the US (restricting it only to violent overthrow), India retains a colonial-style provision under a new name.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
What is the key reason behind SEBI’s proposal to relax Minimum Public Shareholding (MPS) norms for very large companies?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
Large companies dumping huge shares at once can crash stock prices, even if the company is fundamentally strong.
Relaxing timelines (15% in 5 years, 25% in 10 years) allows gradual public entry, ensuring market stability and investor confidence.
The intent is not to reduce transparency but to balance fund-raising with fair pricing.

5. Question
Which of the following is correctly associated with the Young Bengal Movement led by Henry Derozio?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
The Derozians, inspired by rationalism and liberty, later joined George Thompson to form the Bengal British India Society (1843), regarded as India’s first political party.
They opposed caste, superstition, and idolatry, unlike option A.
Brahmo Samaj was founded by Raja Ram Mohan Roy (not Derozio).
Far from promoting Macaulay’s submissive Anglicised model, Derozians were described as India’s “first radicals,” assertive and original.
