If you are in delhi, please do show the solidarity. In 2012 when something horrific shook the nation, its the same kind of protests that made a change. These incidents happen to all sections of the society but this should by driven by students now because it is our problem and everyone involved in this can contribute to find a solution - lets hope this is not short-lived- this unfortunate event happened in one particular place- it can happen just about anywhere else too. Hope this is a beginning of debate towards a long term solution - this concentrated urbanisation is simply unsustainable now

🅾️Why is this a problem?- The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) is granted extensive powers to require registration and block content deemed harmful, with broad and vague criteria-Potentially creating an environment of censorship

⚠️This article says that The Law Commission of India (LCI) has been ineffective, with only 50% of its recommendations implemented. A new dynamic body like the Legal Advisory Council (LAC) is needed to navigate the legal landscape with more agility and responsiveness. This is because LAC would be under Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), ensuring that its recommendations are directly integrated into the policymaking process.

Forwarded from UPSC Economy by VK IAS (Vikas Kanukollu)
✅Gs-3 : Mobilization of resources- Taxation- LTCG- Budget 2024
🅾️Context : Long-term gains on assets like property and investments will now be taxed at a flat rate of 12.5%, without considering inflation adjustments. For example, if you bought a house for ₹10 lakh in 2001 and sold it for ₹75 lakh in 2021, indexation would increase the purchase price to reflect inflation, thus lowering the taxable gain. Now that indexation benefit is removed.
🅾️What is the impact?- The response from the industry has been mixed. O
Removing indexation means investors can't adjust their purchase price for inflation. This results in higher taxable gains when they sell their assets, leading to more tax. Higher taxes might discourage people from making long-term investments, affecting their financial planning and market activityverall sentiment suggests that removing indexation could dampen investment enthusiasm.

✅A survey on Why Delhi is the hub of civil services aspirants.
🅾️I am not predicting a Doomsday but i feel that this is going to be the beginning of the End of Delhi's image as the "ONLY" hub of UPSC aspirants. Time has come for changes to fix this unsustainable concentrated urbanisation.
🅾️There are lessons for other cities too- Ashoknagar in Hyderabad, Vijaynagar in Bangalore, Anna Nagar in Chennai et al. Though not as bad as ORN- the conditions are definitely worsening for students. You need to have a definite answer as to why you are not able to study from home. FOMO should not be the answer.
⚠️P.s. VK IAS is not in Delhi, though placed out of Hyderabad, that does not stop us from expressing the solidarity with the aspirant community.
