✅Gs-3 : Science and technology- EXTREMELY INSIGHTFUL ARTICLE- especially for INTERVIEW

✅Gs-3 : Infrastructure- Digital Infrastructure

🅾️Context :Digital India- Through quality products that has least human interface and maximum responsiveness- How?- Click here

⚠️India's unique Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI)—spanning Aadhaar, UPI, and Digilocker—has transformed citizen services, but its application to businesses remains limited. Why?- Because of government regulation- life is tough for entrepreneurs.

✅What do we need to make this work?

⚜️1. Shift from a “prohibited until permitted” mindset to trust-based systems. States can push this reform as a non-fiscal lever to attract investment.

⚜️2. Narrow jail provisions to five criteria (e.g., physical harm, fraud).

✅FAQ - Should laws related to POSH , dowry harassment etc which were in favour of women owing to historical discrimination against them be made gender neutral .

Purely my opinion - So if there is a possibility of injustice - the onus is on sc to make sure that does not happen. Just like victims should not be stripped of dignity, even the accused should not be stripped off their dignity- its antithetical to the concept of justice- As societies evolve, we need to relook at laws from time to time. we have anecdotal evidence in the form of cases like atul subash which warrants a relook.

✅GS3 : Intellectual property rights- Copy right conundrum in carnatic music


⚜️Carnatic music’s improvisational essence clashes with the law’s requirement for clearly fixed compositions.
⚜️ Performers do enjoy “performers’ rights,” but unauthorized audio/video recordings in sabhas and posts on social media often occur, potentially violating these rights.

⚜️Improvisations, additions, and new creative elements become part of the public domain once performed, raising questions on ownership.

⚜️Many Carnatic compositions are already in the public domain (e.g., works of Purandara Dasa, Tyagaraja), further complicating enforcement of copyright
