Here are some essential Python questions with explanations (without code):

1. What is Python? Why is it popular?

Python is an interpreted, high-level, and general-purpose programming language. Its simplicity,


readability, and extensive library support have made it popular for web development, data
science, AI, machine learning, and automation tasks.

2. What are Python's key features?

 Easy to Learn and Use: Simple syntax similar to English.


 Interpreted Language: No need for compilation; runs directly.
 Object-Oriented: Supports OOP concepts like inheritance and polymorphism.
 Extensive Libraries: Offers libraries like Pandas, NumPy, TensorFlow, etc.
 Dynamic Typing: No need to declare variable types.

3. What is the difference between Python 2 and Python 3?

Python 3 is the latest and recommended version, while Python 2 is deprecated. Key differences
include syntax changes (e.g., print function), integer division, and better Unicode support in
Python 3.
4. How are lists different from tuples?

 Lists: Mutable (can be changed), defined using square brackets.


 Tuples: Immutable (cannot be changed), defined using parentheses.

5. What are Python's control flow statements?

 if-else: Conditional statements.


 for loop: Iterates over sequences.
 while loop: Continues until a condition becomes false.
 break, continue, pass: Used to control loop execution.

6. What is a function in Python?

A block of reusable code that performs a specific task. Functions are defined using the def
keyword. Functions improve code organization and reusability.

7. What is the difference between a regular function and a lambda function?

 Regular Function: Defined using the def keyword with a name.


 Lambda Function: Anonymous functions defined with the lambda keyword for short,
simple operations.

8. How are exceptions handled in Python?

Exceptions are handled using try-except blocks. This allows programs to catch errors and
handle them gracefully without crashing.

9. What is a module in Python?

A module is a file containing Python code (functions, classes, or variables) that can be imported
into other programs for reuse.
10. What are Python decorators?

Decorators modify the behavior of a function or method. They are defined using the
@decorator_name syntax and are commonly used for logging, access control, and pre/post-
processing.

11. What are mutable and immutable objects?

 Mutable: Can be modified after creation (lists, dictionaries).


 Immutable: Cannot be modified after creation (strings, tuples, integers).

12. How is memory managed in Python?

Memory is managed through:

 Automatic Garbage Collection: Frees memory when objects are no longer in use.
 Reference Counting: Tracks the number of references to an object.

13. What are Python comprehensions?

Python comprehensions are a concise way to create sequences such as lists, sets, or dictionaries
in a single line.

14. What is the difference between shallow copy and deep copy?

 Shallow Copy: Copies only the reference to the objects. Changes in one list reflect in the
other.
 Deep Copy: Creates a new object entirely, ensuring no reference-sharing.

15. How does Python handle object-oriented programming (OOP)?

Python supports OOP concepts such as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. Classes
and objects are the core components.
16. What is the difference between is and ==?

 == (Equality Operator): Checks if two objects have the same value.


 is (Identity Operator): Checks if two objects point to the same memory location.

17. What is the purpose of Python's with statement?

The with statement simplifies file handling and ensures proper resource cleanup, even in cases
of exceptions.

18. How do you handle multiple exceptions in Python?

Python allows handling multiple exceptions using multiple except blocks or by combining
exceptions in a single block.

19. What are Python generators?

Generators yield values one at a time using the yield keyword. They are memory-efficient and
suitable for handling large datasets.

20. What is the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) in Python?

The GIL is a mutex that allows only one thread to execute at a time in CPython, limiting true
parallel execution in multi-threaded programs.

struggling with poverty and unemployment.
o Contributed to the BJP's unexpected defeat in the 2004 general elections.

These incidents and policies highlight some of the challenges and negative outcomes faced by
the Vajpayee administration, which impacted the Indian public socially, economically, and
politically.

**"I chose Atal Bihari Vajpayee because I admire his balanced and diplomatic approach to
leadership. He was a statesman known for consensus-building, strong economic reforms, and his
efforts toward peace with neighboring countries. His ability to maintain a healthy relationship
with the opposition and focus on inclusive development stands out to me.

Moreover, Vajpayee's era laid the groundwork for many of India's advancements today, such as
the Golden Quadrilateral highway project and India's emergence as a nuclear power after the
Pokhran tests. I find his leadership particularly inspiring because he achieved these milestones
with a humble and empathetic approach, which resonates with my own values."**
Dr. Manmohan Singh is one of India's most respected economists and political leaders. He
served as the Prime Minister of India for two consecutive terms from 2004 to 2014, representing
the Congress party. Here is an analysis of his leadership, achievements, and criticisms:

Achievements as Prime Minister

1. Economic Reforms: As the Finance Minister in 1991, he played a crucial role in


liberalizing the Indian economy, transforming it from a closed to an open market
economy.
2. GDP Growth: During his tenure as Prime Minister, India witnessed strong economic
growth, especially between 2004 and 2008.
3. Social Welfare Schemes: Landmark programs such as the National Rural Employment
Guarantee Act (NREGA) and the Right to Information (RTI) Act were introduced.
4. Nuclear Deal: He signed the historic Indo-US Civil Nuclear Agreement, which ended
India's nuclear isolation.
5. Global Economic Crisis Handling: His administration managed the 2008 global
financial crisis relatively well.

Criticisms and Perceived Failures

1. Weak Leadership Image: Dr. Singh was often criticized for being a passive leader who
lacked assertiveness, with significant power reportedly resting with Congress President
Sonia Gandhi.
2. Corruption Scandals: His second term was marred by major corruption scandals like the
2G spectrum scam, Commonwealth Games scam, and the coal allocation scam, which
tarnished his government's reputation.
3. Policy Paralysis: Due to internal conflicts within the ruling coalition, decision-making
slowed down, leading to criticism of governance and delayed reforms.
4. Lack of Communication: Dr. Singh was perceived as media-shy and maintained a low
public profile, which created a disconnect with the public during critical moments.

Why Some Consider Him Not an Effective Leader

1. Limited Political Control: His leadership was seen as compromised because he didn't
have complete political authority within his own government.
2. Inability to Address Corruption: His failure to take decisive action against corruption
allegations hurt his image as an honest leader.
3. Perception of Policy Paralysis: The perception of stagnation and a lack of proactive
decision-making contributed to a decline in investor confidence and public discontent.
4. Dependence on Party Leadership: Many believed he was more of a technocrat than a
political leader, heavily influenced by the party high command.

Balanced Perspective

Despite these criticisms, Dr. Manmohan Singh remains a respected figure in India's history for
his contributions to economic development and diplomacy. His leadership style was more of a
consensus-builder than a charismatic leader, which may not have aligned with the expectations
of a dynamic and assertive political figure.

This balanced understanding can help you discuss his leadership objectively in interviews
without appearing overly critical or biased.

Below are some notable achievements of Dr. Manmohan Singh during his long career in public
service:

fastest-growing major economies.
3. Landmark Social Welfare Initiatives:
o His government introduced key social welfare programs, such as the National
Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), which aimed to provide
employment opportunities and reduce rural poverty. The Right to Information
(RTI) Act was also enacted, enhancing transparency and accountability in
governance.
4. Indo-US Civil Nuclear Agreement:
o Dr. Singh played a critical role in negotiating the historic nuclear deal with the
United States. This agreement not only ended India’s nuclear isolation but also
facilitated technology transfer and improved energy security, boosting India’s
strategic and economic standing globally.
5. Diplomatic Achievements:
o Under his leadership, India’s global stature increased through active participation
in international forums. His tenure saw India forging stronger ties with major
global economies and elevating its voice on issues of international trade, security,
and climate change.
6. Crisis Management:
o During the global financial crisis of 2008, his administration implemented
policies that helped India weather the economic downturn relatively well
compared to many other nations. These measures contributed to maintaining
stability in the Indian economy during turbulent global times.

people reliant on cash transactions.
o Created economic uncertainty and long-term challenges for a segment of the
population that was already vulnerable.

Personal Impact: Many individuals, especially those in rural or lower-income groups,


experienced considerable financial strain and hardship, with disruptions that affected
their livelihoods and economic stability.

Born in 1950 in Vadnagar, Gujarat, Narendra Modi rose from humble beginnings to become a
key political figure in India. He began his political journey with the RSS, eventually serving as
the Chief Minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014, where he emphasized economic growth and
infrastructure development. In 2014, he was elected as India's Prime Minister, launching major
initiatives like Digital India, GST, and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan that have significantly influenced
India's development. His decisive leadership and reform-driven approach continue to shape
India's political and economic landscape, while also sparking both admiration and debate.
