✅Gs-4 : Emotional Intelligence
🅾️What is Humility in Public Discourse?
🔰Ans : Humility in public discourse refers to the ability to engage in discussions and debates with a sense of respect, openness, and self-awareness. It emphasizes understanding and valuing the perspectives of others, acknowledging one's own limitations, and refraining from personal attacks or aggressive rhetoric.
🅾️First-Order and Second-Order Claims: First-order claims focus on the merits of actions and decisions.
Second-order claims evaluate individuals' character based on their views, often leading to personal attacks.
Dismissing first-order concerns and focusing on second-order claims creates a hypocritical and divisive environment.
🅾️Impact of Polarization: Personal attacks and hate speech prevent meaningful dialogue and create divisions.

Really touched with this gesture from a student- yatin

forever grateful🙏

✅Gs-3 : Inclusive growth/ Economic development
➡️Central premise of the author : The central premise of the author is that electoral politics often swings between two extremes: development-focused promises and short-term populist measures. Both have their pros and cons, and the need of the hour is to find a balanced approach.
⚠️‼️My problem with these sort of articles?- they dont tell us WHAT THIS BALANCED APPROACH should be! and illogically supports freebie model of governance- that is not a solution at all!
➡️So here is my take on this issue : You are free to add any new ideas that come to your mind
⚜️1. Create a Comprehensive Infrastructure Review Board (CIRB) through law to evaluate these projects
⚜️2. Amend the FRBM act, 2003 to include PSUs- Benchmarking against international standards like the European Union's Stability and Growth Pact.( Read about this)
⚜️3. INTRODUCE - Populism Impact Assessment
