The Satish Chandra Committee proposed a 200-mark essay paper in either English or one of the ‘Indian Languages’ included in the constitution’s eighth schedule. The reason for including other languages to write an essay in the examination was that the mains examination should bring not only the candidate’s language abilities but also her aptitude for understanding and critical analysis, as well as the level of her integrated thinking, assimilation of ideas, and clarity of expression. Clarity of thought can only come when you are fluent in a particular language. This holds importance even when writing answers for the UPSC Mains. If you can write a good answer in English, you do not need to worry about the Essay paper as it is intended to serve as the testing case, over and above the academic and subject tests.
