News of the Day

RSS-affiliated think tank readies Uniform Civil Code drafts (Relevant for GS Prelims and Mains Paper II)

The India Policy Foundation (IPF) headed by RSS ideologue Rakesh Sinha has also been holding consultations since 2012, and has come up with drafts of a UCC.
Issues in drafting UCC:

Three issues which are non-uniform in personal laws — marriage, divorce and succession. Earlier, adoption too was in this list, but after the Juvenile Justice Act, it is now not religion-specific.

Controversy over RSS follower heading India Policy Foundation:

It is alleged that Rakesh Sinha has interest in promotion of Hindu religion and UCC may give importance to hindu practices and specially suppress religious freedom of muslims.

What is India Policy Foundation?

India Policy Foundation (IPF) is a non-profit research institute and a registered trust, based in New Delhi. It is an autonomous institute guided by an academic council comprising eminent scholars and intellectuals from a wide cross-section of the Indian society. The IPF is currently headed by Honorary Director, Prof. Rakesh Sinha, a prominent political scientist and professor of Delhi University.
What is UCC?
Uniform civil code is the proposal to replace the personal laws based on the scriptures and customs of each major religious community in India with a common set governing every citizen. These laws are distinguished from public law and cover marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption and maintenance.
Article 44 of the Directive Principles in India sets its implementation as duty of the State. In contemporary politics, the Bharatiya Janta Party and the Left support it while the Congress Party and All India Muslim Personal Law Board oppose it.
Goa has a common family law, thus being the only Indian state to have a uniform civil code. The Special Marriage Act, 1954 permits any citizen to have a civil marriage outside the realm of any specific religious personal law.

The art of the non-deal

After wining election trump has draw new line in one china policy by calling Taiwan head

This telephonic conversation led to shift in 5 decade old policy of united states toward china

One china means include part of the Taiwan and Tibet that was by force or agreement adopted by china

Dalai lama fled to dharmshala from Tibet also related to this policy and also become one of the reason for conflict between china and india

One china policy aim is to maintain integrity in china though Taiwan have freedom in economic and political sphere

Norway

General Studies-03


Centre recasts panel helping Krishna Board

Krishna water program is mixed form of the flood plain management inter river linking

Krishna water program based on tribunal award and central water commission regulation

Why problem created because partition of telangana and Andhra Pradesh led to crisis

Moon race: TeamIndus to carry Japanese rival’s rover

Tamilnadu and Japanese firm have signed treaty for moon exploration and win Google lunar X price

This project start by google as private project in 2006 to funding moon exploration which launched by 31st December 2017

Japanese firm named hokuto means white rabbit who participating with tamilnadu for project

A little gain after more pain

After demonetization cash crunch occur so citizen have to bear that burden also

But now picture clearing government have started paradhan mantra garib kalian yojna which use black money fund to use in welfare of the discriminated people

But what major problem occur is banking culture and organization failed in integrity mode

Because bank official hording new note and creating supply bottleneck of the new note and benefiting mining baron, government official, politician etc.

This create trust deficit among people about government capability and commitment so administration move by committed action through administrative efficiency

Impact of an unusual selection

New head has been appointed after superseding some officer in army who will have longest tenure to serve nation

What will be outcome of this superseded act
1. officer trust in head as will think suspect about corrupt
practices in it
2. officer will have lack of integrity because of lack of the
reward on service
3. conflict in inner work culture of the army

in this problem two principle of officer promotion and career planning is taking place i.e. merit based and seniority based

in organization such as army rigid organization structure
existed

army organization administration also comes with inner integrity because this will fixed by competitive and transparent appointment administration

Note ban will spike inflation: Economists

After demonetization major forecasting for the growth rate and economic situation comes with negative mark but this first time economist comes with forecasting of inflation spike not reducing it.

Because only some money stored in cash rest will be with real estate and gold

As per the estimate by the enforcement directorate [ED] only 8 percent of the black money stored in cash form.

So this initiative can not unveil old black money but stop to create new one

Snowden still has contacts with Russian intelligence: U.S.

December 3 full Hindu news paper analysis for current affairs Detailed on GS topic wise sorted ;No need to waste terribly for note writing and self analysis

G.S.-01

 When Yamuna changed the course of their lives

* Yamuna being most populated and polluted river of India
changing their way that creating problem for economy as well as
environment

* river has lifecycle that can be broadly divided In three part i.e.

1. youth stage- V shape valley , river now in mountain or upper
area high vertical and horizontal weathering
2. mature stage- river come into plain depositing weathering
material, crating meander and exbow lake, here you foung
khaddar, bhangar, bhabara and terai region
3. old stage – here river is in the last stage and near the ocean so
start depositing remaining silt and create delta region
 
* why river change their course


* impact of the river course changing

G.S.-02

EC must consider state funding of polls: Nirmala

*issue in the news because black money and corruption lastly go
to political funding

* when party are elected by getting fund from person who have
accumulated black money then this cycle goes on

* political party also refuse to adopt RTI for funding and other
administration

* now government thinking to od something about it so below
are the step that can be taken

1. parties to under RTI shadow
2. for honest funding not 20000 limit
3. party have to declare its balance sheet
4. comptroller and auditor general to be audit account

* so above step can be taken if people have interest and
politician have wish to do that .

Modi, Ghani to discuss terror, defence

*india and Afghanaistan relation now getting momentum after
normal situation return in afghanistan

* india had helped Afghanistan to build parliament house and
dam that is called salama dam or india-afghanistan friendship
dam

* india’s interest are as below

1. market in Afghanistan
2. strategic position of the Afghanistan in central asia
3. india important project of trade and energy security such as
TAPI and chabhar port plan
4. defence deal

* but major problem of this tie are Pakistan as road block in
trade and terror group that disturbing normalcy in Afghanistan,
financing, political instability, etc.

G.S.-03

Concerns of co-op banks appear genuine: SC

* after demonetization cooperative banks have been kept outside
of the purview or the exchange power by RBI

* many organization have filed petition to court for breaching
provision of the constitution like right to form cooperative under
article 19.

* government given below stated reason for this kind of the
exercise

1. lack of professionalization
2. lack of automated technology
3. lack of core banking solution
4. lack of KYC norms
5. political owned

* so it is risky to give him power but central government surely
can take step like limited transaction for farmer, give ATM cum
debit card to this bank, make minimum political interference by
changing management norms

November 2 full Hindu news paper analysis for current affairs Detailed on GS topic wise sorted ;No need to waste terribly for note writing and self analysis

G.S.-2

We’re willing to wait for talks: Basit

* India and Pakistan relation continuously worsening and no
chance of fresh deal or talk between countries

* though heart of Asia summit is being scheduled in India where
there are chances of peace deal but biggest question here arises
is that what will be the innovative solution by that sustainable
solution can be made

 Patriotism by diktat

* in recent order of the supreme court given order to song
national anthem at starting of show in every theatre of the
country

* this move has following benefit

1. patriotism
2. national feeling to more people at once as lots of people
gather
3. cinema become not only medium of culture but also channel
of the nationalism
4. recent situation as jammu and JNU incident
5. fundamental duty of the citizen under 51 [A]

* but this move will become dishonour to national anthem if
citizen don’t want it or other wise it will become imposed rule

* patriotism or nationalism is free will not imposed rule

 Democracy, direct to home

*recently the importance of the leader overburdening on party so
modi becoming the populist leader in the theory of the political
science

* when any leader become populist then degree of the
democracy decreasing because any decision by the leader will
be welcomed by the people on the name of that leader without
rationale thinking

* Notably, democracy is not only about a party that has won the
largest number of seats taking over state power. It is about
protecting the basic rights of all individuals, and, in particular,
the rights of vulnerable minorities against depredations of
majorities. This is secured through the establishment of
procedures and institutions. That is why democratic governance
is complex, time consuming, and demanding. Each proposal has
to go through several stages of scrutiny, including debates in the
public sphere on the virtues or otherwise of the proposition on
offer, before it is transformed into law

* The problem is that populist leaders show scant respect for the
give and take of arguments during processes of decision-
making.

* in democracy every citizen has right to criticise or make value
of the every policy of the government but when decision taken
by the populist leader then faith of the leader restraint this
creativity.

G.S.-03

Note ban relief partly withdrawn

First private moon mission next year

* after the successful mission by the ISRO in 2008 as
chandrayaan-1 now ISRO want to send chandrayaan-2 but
before that one private firm announced to launch mission by end
of 2017 i.e. 28 December 2, 2017

* private firm teamindus based on Bangalore working on
launching mission with the help of the PSLV

* mission will lend at Mare Imbrium, a region in the
Northwestern hemisphere of the Moon.

* if this project will launch successfully then this corporation
will win lunar prize by google

* this project funded by the Flipkart, Tata and Infosys

Contours of a challenge

* judiciary has been filled with the cases regarding practice of
the demonetisation so one hand government stopping new
appointment in judiciary and another taking bold step that make
judiciary over-burden

* Government have no say in the legal status of the currency
note as note being signed by central bank

* separation of powers exists to “strengthen freedom and
prevent the concentration of power in the hands of one
governmental actor in a manner likely to harm the freedom of
the individual”.

* so first of all government adopt the practice of the
demonetization without formal legislation and more than 20
time amendment to this order has been made

HIV: The self-test Option


* according to WHO 40 percent of the people doesn’t know
weather they are infected with HIV or not

* there are two reason for the lack of diagnostic of the disease

1. social constraint
2. lack of awareness

* for solution of this problem india has stated community
checkup centre and free test initiative

* though some cases left out so WHO come with innovative idea
of the self test

* The WHO-approved OraQuick HIV self-testing is based on
HIV antibodies present in oral and blood samples. The test can
detect antibodies developed within three months of getting
infected. It is a screening test, and a positive result should be
reconfirmed though a blood-based test

* The OraQuick self-testing makes diagnosis easier and faster,
besides ensuring privacy and confidentiality, thus encouraging
more people to get tested

G.S.-04

Lack of the health system led to entropy of the society –

case study of sierra leone

*sierra leone is being least developed country in the world

* this become reason for the vulnerability of the health issue

* whe ebola break lot of people infected

* people die due to epidemics

* social function paralyzed as death of family member like
orphan or dependent or vulnerable section of society fill more
problem

* again scarce economic resources make orphan youth more
insecure and they start DESI liquor

* again poverty overwhelming situation

* so this cycle making country more poor and poor

* what to do know

1. developed countries should take responsibility
2. WHO,UNDP, UNICEF like institute have to play major role
in surviving in nation
3. big MNC has to take step in this regard

* what India has to learn from this experience is that they have
to increase expenditure in health for both way prevention and
cure
