✅Gs-2 : Judiciary - Criminal justice system-
✅Gs-2 : Vulnerable Sections- Women- Unnao Rape case issue-Sengar case
🅾️Definition of a Public Servant.
⚜️IPC Section 21: Does not automatically include MLAs/MPs as public servants because they are not "in the service or pay of the government" in the traditional employee sense (Supreme Court interpretation).
⚜️Prevention of Corruption Act (PCA): Explicitly includes MLAs and MPs to prevent graft.
⚜️POCSO Act: Uses the IPC definition by default if not specified otherwise.
🌟A case where public might feel that those with political capital can navigate the legal system differently than the common man. It shows how legal rationality (This is what Weber says in sociology) can sometimes lead to what feels like substantive injustice (the suspending of a sentence despite a serious conviction).

✅Gs-2 : IR- critical review of India's Foreign Policy in 2025
🅾️Central argument : personal chemistry between leaders (Modi-Trump, Modi-Xi) and optical victories (hosting summits) do not automatically translate into strategic or economic benefits. The world has become transactional, and "Soft Power" (Vishwaguru image) is failing against "Hard Power" realities (tariffs, border incursions).
🔰Reasons :
🅾️1. National Interest trumps Personal Relations- despite the "Trump-Modi" bond, US imposed 25% tariffs on Indian goods and a surcharge on Russian oil imports
🅾️2. India’s neighborhood policy is struggling -

✅Gs-3 : Internal security/ Gs-2 : IR- Grey zone warfare
⚠️WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT THIS? - Click here
🔰Context : Digital Residue as Evidence in Policing
🅾️What?- Every digital action leaves a residual trace. When aggregated, these traces form behavioural evidence, even if each data point appears trivial in isolation. Modern policing increasingly relies on this digital exhaust to reconstruct intent, movement, and networks.
⚠️Common sources:
💡 Authentication data: OTPs, login alerts, device verification
💡 Transactional data: food orders, cab bookings, e-commerce purchases
💡 Communication metadata: WhatsApp timestamps, IP logs, device IDs
💡 Location signals: app-based location history, toll FASTag alerts
⚠️ Note : UPSC may frame this as “privacy erosion”. The correct framing is regulated digital evidence use.. You should not think that this is unchecked surveillance.

✅Gs-3 : Internal security- India’s first National Counter Terrorism Policy & Strategy
🅾️Terrorism is not a single violent act but a systemic process involving ideology, networks, finance, technology, borders, and governance gaps.India’s earlier response relied on laws and agencies- the new policy aims to integrate them into a single national doctrine applicable across States.
⚠️DO NOT confuse this with a new anti-terror law. It is a policy + strategy framework=> not fresh legislation.
🚫Terrorism has evolved from physical violence to hybrid, networked threats.Inputs were drawn from post–Pahalgam attack reviews and inter-State briefings led by NIA- We discussed how important pahalgam issue was- Click here
✅Note this Concept: Whole-of-Government approach to internal security.

✅Gs-2 : Fundamental Rights- Right to life- Art 21- Clean environment
✅Gs-2 : Governance- Environmental Governance- Environmental Jurisprudence
✅Gs-4 : Ethics- Applied Ethics- Environmental ethics
🅾️The Conflict: Utilitarian Development (Growth for the economy) vs. Fundamental Rights (Right to Life/Health).
🅾️Moral Lesson: The environment is not an asset to be consumed by the government or private entities, but a heritage held in trust for the public-State is merely a Trustee of natural resources.Therefore, allowing air quality to degrade to "severe" levels is not just a policy failure; it is a breach of trust and a violation of the sanctity of life. True governance requires adhering to the "Precautionary Principle"....acting before harm occurs, rather than managing disasters after they happen.

✅Gs-2- Government schemes and their implementation-MGNREGA- Viksit Bharat Guarantee For Rozgar and Ajeevika
Mission (Gramin) Bill
🅾️Chronology wise read the articles in the following manner if you dont know about MGNREGA- Click here
🅾️Then you should read this - CLick here
⚠️Present context : Why does the govt. want to replace MGNREGA?
⚜️Original MGNREGA logic- Problem: Rural distress + jobless growth- > Instrument: Legal right to demand work
⚜️New Bill logic (VB-GRAM) :- Leakages, misuse, fiscal indiscipline- Budget-capped, supply-driven employment-risk: Exclusion, weakened accountability-This converts a justiciable claim into an administrative favour.States’ share jumps to ~40%-But control over allocation remains with Centre=fiscal responsibility without fiscal autonomy.
⚠️🚫Q) Critically examine how the shift from rights-based welfare to scheme-based delivery affects federalism and social justice.

✅Gs-3 - Infra- power- Nuclear power- Status of India's Nuclear fuel program
🅾️Context : SHANTI Act and India’s Nuclear Development- SHANTI repeals the Atomic Energy Act, 1962 and the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act, 2010, introducing graded liability caps based on reactor capacity.
⚜️SHANTI does not solve India’s nuclear challenge; it re-prices risk to unblock investment. Whether this aids nuclear development depends on whether capacity expansion is matched with fuel-cycle sovereignty, waste management, and regulatory credibility.

✅Gs-2 : Judiciary- consumer forums
🅾️Logic : Article 21 (Right to Life includes access to timely justice) read with Article 39A (Equal justice and free legal aid); operationalised through the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
⚠️Problem : The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 mandates disposal within 3 months (no testing) or 5 months (with testing).Fast resolution lowers transaction costs and corrects market asymmetry between consumers and sellers.If timelines are not met, consumer forums lose credibility and disputes shift back to civil courts or informal coercion.
🔰Take away : Until adjudicatory capacity, appointments, and procedural discipline are aligned with statutory ambition, speedy justice will remain a legislative promise rather than a lived reality.
🅾️Right to a fair and speedy trial is dependent on Rule of Law- Encapsulated under Article 22 of the constitution- Click here
