š UPSC Mains Model Question
Q. The Kakatiya architectural tradition represents an important phase in the evolution of temple architecture in medieval South India. Discuss with reference to its distinctive features.
(10 Marks | 150 Words)
Answer:
The Kakatiya Dynasty developed a distinctive temple-building tradition in the Deccan between the 12th and 14th centuries, characterised by elaborate architectural planning and rich sculptural ornamentation.
š¢ Trikutalaya architecture: Temples could employ a three-sanctum layout, as seen in the Gollala Gudi Temple, with an associated pillared mandapa.
š¢ Rich sculptural vocabulary: Figures of dvarapalas, dancers, musicians, madanikas and lions enriched temple surfaces.
š¢ Religious iconography: Wall niches incorporated deities such as Vishnu, Lakshmi, Ganesha and Durga.
š¢ Decorative craftsmanship: Carved hamsas, latticework (jali), decorated doorways and elaborate parapets demonstrate sophisticated stone craftsmanship.
š¢ Regional identity: Such monuments reflect the interaction of religious expression, architectural innovation and local artistic traditions in the medieval Deccan.
Conclusion:
The conservation and recognition of monuments such as Gollala Gudi help preserve the architectural diversity and cultural legacy of medieval Telangana, while strengthening understanding of the Kakatiya contribution to Indian temple architecture.

š UPSC Mains Model Question
Q. Enumerate the various reasons behind the rise in cases of bank frauds in India in the last decade. Discuss their impact and the need for reforms in banking governance to prevent such frauds.
(250 words)
Answer
Banks are central to economic development, but the growth of the banking sector has been accompanied by rising operational risks, including frauds. As per the RBIās Financial Stability Report, around 6,500 fraud cases involving over ā¹30,000 crore were reported in 2017-18, highlighting the need for urgent reforms.
š Reasons for rise in bank frauds
š¢ Poor banking governance: Inadequate due diligence before and after loan disbursal and weak checks and balances.
š¢ Poor monitoring: Lack of effective credit-flow monitoring and excessive focus on credit/market risks while neglecting operational risks.
š¢ Technological backwardness: Heavy dependence on manual supervision despite the huge volume of banking transactions.
š¢ Ethical failures: Unethical conduct, nepotism and weakening professional standards among bankers and other stakeholders.
š¢ Political and legal interference: Political pressure on investigating agencies and delays in the legal process weaken deterrence.
š Impact
š¢ Loss of credibility and erosion of public confidence in banks.
š¢ Rise in NPAs, causing losses to banks and the wider economy.
š¢ Reduced profitability, weakening the financial health of the banking sector.
š¢ Reduced availability of funds for productive economic activities and development.
š Need for banking governance reforms
š¢ Strengthen checks and balances and governance standards.
š¢ Fix accountability of bank managers and administrators.
š¢ Adopt proactive risk assessment and fraud-prevention mechanisms.
š¢ Leverage data analytics for early fraud detection.
š¢ Ensure accountability of auditors, lawyers and other third-party service providers.
š¢ Strengthen internal controls, prior assessment of credit limits and procedural compliance.
Conclusion
A robust banking system requires sound governance, technological capability, effective monitoring and institutional accountability. Strengthening these pillars is essential to prevent frauds, protect public confidence and ensure that banks continue to support Indiaās economic growth.
