Explanation
The devotional songs composed in the Marathi language are known by a specific term that signifies "indestructible" or "unbroken" verses. These poems are dedicated to the deity at Pandharpur and are famous for their simplicity and emotional intensity. They continue to be sung by thousands of pilgrims during annual processions, serving as a powerful medium for expressing collective devotion and social equality.
Q7074. Identify the odd one out among the expenditures charged upon the Consolidated Fund of the State (which are non-votable):
Explanation
The salaries and allowances of Cabinet Ministers are votable items and not charged upon the Consolidated Fund of the State.

This distinction ensures that the salaries of key constitutional heads and the judiciary are protected from annual legislative fluctuations or political debates.

I. Generation of additional economic activity.
II. Promotion of exports of goods and services.
III. Restriction of domestic and foreign investment.
Which of the given combinations of statements is incorrect?
Explanation
Special Economic Zones are established to generate additional economic activity and promote the export of goods and services.

This practical approach made their message highly relatable to the common masses, bridging the traditional gap between the sacred and the mundane.

Q7079. Sant Eknath of the Maharashtra Bhakti tradition is widely celebrated for his vernacular commentary on a major Hindu scripture. Which scripture did he comment upon?
Explanation
This influential saint played a vital role in making classical spiritual knowledge accessible by writing a comprehensive commentary on a major ancient text.

Q7080. What is the fundamental purpose of passing a ‘Vote on Account’ in the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly?
Explanation
A ‘Vote on Account’ allows the government to withdraw funds from the Consolidated Fund to meet expenses for a short period, typically two months, while the full budget is being debated and passed. This prevents a financial shutdown at the start of the new fiscal year. It acts as an interim measure to ensure the continuous functioning of services.Answer key for these questions
