✅Gs-2 : Fundamental rights- Role of Judiciary
🅾️ Context: The article claims courts are prioritizing sentiment over constitutional values.
⚠️ The Problem: The author treats any judicial sensitivity as regression. But suggesting an apology is not criminalising speech.
In Ranveer’s case, it wasn’t just free speech — it touched on dignity, gender, and parliamentary decorum- Right to take offence- click here and read- Just because something is not illegal doesn’t mean it is above scrutiny.
⚠️⚠️ Instead of asking, “Was his comment in bad taste?” or “Did the court balance rights and responsibility?”, the author calls even advice “corrosive”. How? 😄
🔰 What the author ignores: Maybe courts aren’t timid they’re being tactically wise because Indians are emotional and mistrust on system is even more dangerous.Constitutional freedoms don’t exist in a vacuum.

Forwarded from UPSC Economy by VK IAS (Vikas Kanukollu)
✅Gs-3 : Mobilization of resources- Financial institutions
🅾️Updates on Financial sector regulations- reforms - n recent months, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) have released new frameworks on how they will design and release regulations. This marks a shift from top-down regulation to a more consultative, transparent process, where public feedback is invited and documented.
🅾️Overall funda?- The philosophy with which you carry out reforms should Justify Why a Regulation is Needed -Institutionalize Accountability-> Improve Public Participation
⚜️Pre consultative legislative policy- Click here
🅾️But Roadblock : Many Indian regulators lack the human/technical capacity- Consultation isn’t just listening — it’s explaining why a rule exists, proving its impact, and being willing to revise it.

✅GS-1 : Demographic studies- Census
🅾️Census = systematic collection of demographic data.Conducted every 10 years under The Census Act, 1948 (a Union List subject). Authorised by the Registrar General & Census Commissioner of India under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
⚠️Why is this Census important?- it is the foundational dataset that shapes-
⚜️1. Caste census debate
⚜️2. Impact on Delimitation
⚜️3. Finance commission - Fiscal federalism

✅Gs-3 : Science and technology- Nickel Extraction
🅾️Nickel joins lithium, cobalt, and rare earths in the critical minerals club- India's task is clear: extract responsibly, process domestically, deploy strategically.
🅾️Relevance of nickel?- Energy transition- used in EV's- Click here and read how
🅾️Problem- Traditional nickel extraction is energy-intensive and polluting — emits >20 tonnes CO₂ per tonne of nickel.So, clean energy infrastructure depends on dirty resource extraction, creating a paradox. But hydrogen plasma tech can solve this problem.
🔰India's Sukinda Valley (Odisha) has laterite nickel reserves – opportunity for domestic value chain

✅Gs-3 : Science and Technology- Space- AXIOM 4
🅾️Context : Axiom-4 as a Civilizational Signal-India’s shift from space access to space presence.These experiments help simulate extreme environments and develop disaster-resilient, off-Earth tech - When Rakesh Sharma went to space (1984), India lacked capability to leverage the mission. With Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla’s Axiom-4 flight (2024), India enters a new era: from symbolic presence to systemic integration in space exploration.
