00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:20,000
hello and welcome to daily news

6
00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:21,840
simplified in the next 25 minutes i'll

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
ride you through today's newspaper

8
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,000
discussing the most important articles

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,960
from the paper relevant to civil service

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,720
examination

11
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,080
the articles that we will take up for

12
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,399
discussion has been displayed

13
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,960
on the screen time stamping also has

14
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:36,960
been provided at suitable place

15
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,559
by now you must have understood the

16
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,200
nature and extent of

17
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:43,840
indo-china border conflict you must also

18
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,760
be knowing important locations along lac

19
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:48,160
and the disputed areas

20
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,520
given a piece of paper and pen you must

21
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:52,079
also be able to draw

22
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,640
a rough map of the region and mark

23
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:57,039
important locations along lac

24
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:59,600
now when we have learned so much of it

25
00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:02,640
it is natural to do analysis

26
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,920
as to what went wrong why situation has

27
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,840
come to this

28
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,000
and that's what the author of this

29
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,560
article from page number six has tried

30
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,799
to do

31
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,680
the title of the article is making sense

32
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:14,080
of china's

33
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,280
calculation the article analyzes the

34
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,400
limitations and

35
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:20,880
failures of india's intelligence and

36
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,640
india's strategic calculation which

37
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,680
failed to anticipate

38
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:28,320
such an intrusion by chinese army in the

39
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,040
previous dns dated 26 june we have

40
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:31,200
learned

41
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,880
from the government's announcement that

42
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,119
china has been amassing

43
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,680
troops and armaments along line of

44
00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:40,479
actual control for nearly two months now

45
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,720
the author of the article says that a

46
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:45,360
charge that can be leveled against

47
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,840
successive central government is that

48
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,399
while

49
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,799
china has consistently asserted its

50
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:53,840
claim over the whole exciting

51
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:55,520
india has chosen to overlook china's

52
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,320
more recent postures

53
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,719
in this region and in this regard author

54
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,920
gives

55
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:02,880
facts and do the analysis to come to a

56
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,360
conclusion

57
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,960
that there has been lapses and failure

58
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,759
of india's intelligence

59
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:12,319
and india as a strategic calculation

60
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:14,400
coming to failure of intelligence

61
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:16,239
intelligence is an important topic to be

62
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,040
covered under internal security under

63
00:02:16,239 --> 00:02:19,040
paper 3.

64
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,280
so the basic definition of intelligence

65
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,160
you must know a question on importance

66
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,160
of intelligence

67
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,400
for security of our nation and the

68
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,720
mechanism of collecting intelligence

69
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,080
can be asked in the coming mains exam

70
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,040
intelligence is basically

71
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,400
information gathered from within or

72
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,840
outside the nation

73
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,760
it could be regarding anything for

74
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,599
example regarding threats to the nation

75
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,319
its people and property

76
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:44,720
regarding development proliferation and

77
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:47,120
use of weapons of mass destruction

78
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,000
or any other matter bearing national

79
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,239
security

80
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,440
collection of such information is called

81
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:54,480
as intelligence

82
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,200
in the context of security the value of

83
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,159
intelligence

84
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,959
stems from the fact that better decision

85
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:02,000
can be made

86
00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:02,800
based on better information the policy

87
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,000
makers

88
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,080
the strategist will be hamstrung if we

89
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,519
if they do not have good intelligence

90
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,400
coming from the ground

91
00:03:09,519 --> 00:03:13,200
many attacks can be averted because of

92
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,599
intelligence

93
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,440
the intelligence arm of india gets very

94
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:19,440
active before independence day republic

95
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,360
day or any other important summit

96
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,280
and they have been successful in

97
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,760
averting many attacks

98
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,480
so intelligence gathering must also be

99
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,040
beefed up

100
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:31,120
according to the timing the timing and

101
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,840
nature of china's action

102
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,599
should have aroused keen interest in the

103
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,480
intelligence organizations

104
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:39,519
about china's strategic calculation but

105
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,720
perhaps

106
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:43,440
this did not happen because the author

107
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,920
says

108
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,120
chinese buildup in the galvan valley

109
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,840
pangong lake

110
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,920
deepsang plain and hot springs gogra

111
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,120
region did not require any great

112
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,560
intelligence effort

113
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,799
since the chinese was also not

114
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,040
attempting to hide it they were making

115
00:03:56,799 --> 00:04:00,959
semi permanent structures there

116
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,640
but still we were not ready with

117
00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:05,519
adequate preparedness

118
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,560
the author says that india does possess

119
00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:08,879
high quality

120
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,239
imagery intelligence and signals

121
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:12,879
intelligence capability

122
00:04:10,239 --> 00:04:15,040
distributed between ntro national

123
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:17,600
technical research organization

124
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,199
the directorate of signals intelligence

125
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,840
in ministry of defense

126
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:23,759
and other agencies and all this

127
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:25,840
institutional capability

128
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:27,280
would have made possible to track

129
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:30,320
chinese movement

130
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:31,840
we have me sat the satellite dedicated

131
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:35,199
for intelligence gathering

132
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:36,400
we also have hysys the hyper spectral

133
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:38,240
imaging satellite

134
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,600
which is used for dual purpose both for

135
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,000
military and civilian

136
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,800
it has the capability to see through the

137
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,000
soil

138
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:48,160
up till few centimeters we have such

139
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,320
strong technological capability in

140
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,240
imagery and signal intelligence

141
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,320
you would remember that after the

142
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,800
surgical strike in pakistan

143
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,840
indian air force reportedly presented to

144
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,880
the government

145
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:03,199
radar and satellite images showing the

146
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,320
bombing of the intended target

147
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:08,960
so if we are so capable and we were

148
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,080
yet unaware of chinese maneuvering

149
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,880
around the border

150
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,120
then this is a clear-cut case of failure

151
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,600
of

152
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,199
intelligence gathering but this is not

153
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,960
just the failure of intelligence

154
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:21,440
gathering there has been labs

155
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,000
at the end of a strategic calculation as

156
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,479
well

157
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,120
the author says the importance of a sky

158
00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:28,000
chain for

159
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:30,080
china has greatly increased of late and

160
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,639
it provides direct connectivity between

161
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,479
the two

162
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:34,800
most troubled regions of china the

163
00:05:32,479 --> 00:05:37,840
xinjiang and tibet

164
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,440
china has constructed highway 219

165
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:41,600
connecting both these regions

166
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,440
and this does not seem to have been

167
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,840
adequately factored in

168
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,639
by india's strategic policy making

169
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:48,560
bodies

170
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:50,880
whenever there is huge investment

171
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,120
infrastructure development in any region

172
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,880
then the government gets active to

173
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,639
protect that infrastructure and

174
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,639
investment for instance when tarpi

175
00:05:56,639 --> 00:06:00,560
pipeline was in the planning stage

176
00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:02,560
then even the pakistani government was

177
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,160
active in removing the terrorists and

178
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,000
the extremists from the region

179
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,240
during the course of construction of

180
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,960
india myanmar and thailand trilateral

181
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,720
highway

182
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,639
india pressurized the government of

183
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,600
myanmar to clear the region of

184
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:15,840
extremists give

185
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,680
protection to the infrastructure project

186
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:18,800
and have adequate preparedness for

187
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,199
security

188
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,960
similarly it must have come naturally to

189
00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:24,880
the strategists and thinkers

190
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,400
that since china has been actively

191
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,880
investing in the region

192
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,600
they will make some effort and that may

193
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,400
result

194
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,880
in clashes with india at the border

195
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,800
while

196
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,960
indian policy makers saw the

197
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,840
reorganization of the state of jammu and

198
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,880
kashmir

199
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:44,080
and reclassification of ladakh as purely

200
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,840
an internal matter there was failure in

201
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,880
picking up the fact that for

202
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:51,280
china's military planner the carving out

203
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,759
of ladakh into union territory

204
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:54,720
posed a threat to china's peace and

205
00:06:53,759 --> 00:06:56,639
tranquility

206
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,000
in fact they gave very strongly worded

207
00:06:56,639 --> 00:07:00,319
statement on this

208
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,160
it does not mean that we are not to do

209
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:03,280
what we feel is right for our own

210
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,199
national interest

211
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:06,800
but the point that author is trying to

212
00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:08,720
make when we do something

213
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,400
there might be reaction from neighbor

214
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,680
and that reaction should have been

215
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,840
anticipated

216
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,720
the author further says that indian

217
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,840
strategist

218
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:20,479
also failed to pick up big sign

219
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,680
of chinese forward push in the previous

220
00:07:20,479 --> 00:07:24,160
dns we saw

221
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,120
that the time of peaceful rise of china

222
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,520
is over

223
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,520
they have dropped the policy of peaceful

224
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,919
growth or peaceful development

225
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,120
now this is forward pushing china

226
00:07:31,919 --> 00:07:35,680
assertive

227
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,479
bullying china and there has been sign

228
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,800
for this

229
00:07:36,479 --> 00:07:40,639
for example china now don't care about

230
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,440
rising tension or the trade war with the

231
00:07:40,639 --> 00:07:43,520
us

232
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,560
china has been pushing hard its grip

233
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,039
over taiwan

234
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:49,360
over hong kong and there also has been

235
00:07:47,039 --> 00:07:50,160
repeated naval incidents in south china

236
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,400
sea

237
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,520
we learned about salami tactic in the

238
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,840
last dns

239
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,680
in which china is trying to win over the

240
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,639
neighbors exert influence on the

241
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,199
neighbors

242
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:02,720
piece by piece and when the fight in the

243
00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:06,240
region will be over

244
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:09,360
things will come to our doorstep as well

245
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:11,199
this must have been anticipated in the

246
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,360
previous dns we also saw

247
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:14,720
that china does not see india as a swing

248
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,440
state china see

249
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,560
india to be already a very strong ally

250
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,120
of u.s

251
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,879
china also see india as a counterweight

252
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,360
that different nation is trying to set

253
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:26,160
up

254
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:28,319
against china so the author is saying

255
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:31,360
that our closeness to us

256
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:32,240
should also have factored in any adverse

257
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,640
response from

258
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,279
china the author further says that since

259
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,680
last year

260
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:38,880
when china's economy began to show signs

261
00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:42,080
of decline

262
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,360
followed by kovid 19 pandemic china is

263
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,080
known to have become

264
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,640
extremely sensitive to what it perceived

265
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,200
as

266
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,000
effort made by others to exploit its

267
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,720
weakness

268
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,279
although china never took criticism but

269
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,160
lately

270
00:08:53,279 --> 00:08:58,160
china has been very adverse to critics

271
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,800
it does not mean that we are to not

272
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,200
criticize

273
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,000
china as we have been doing in post kobe

274
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,120
19

275
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,240
we have been very vocal about china's

276
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,880
irresponsibility in handling the kovite

277
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,360
19

278
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,480
they hit the information but when we are

279
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,720
criticizing

280
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,760
we must be aware of the other country's

281
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,640
sensitivity

282
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:18,880
and we must be prepared for any adverse

283
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:21,279
response from the nation

284
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,320
so the problem was not criticizing china

285
00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:25,279
the problem was

286
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,480
not being prepared for adverse response

287
00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:29,040
from china

288
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,760
and all these are indicative of a

289
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,160
weakness

290
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,920
in interpretation and analysis of

291
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,480
intelligence available

292
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,480
so it is the poor intelligence gathering

293
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,440
and strategic calculation

294
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,440
that has brought us here the author

295
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,320
further looks into the institutional

296
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,720
lacuna

297
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,680
within intelligence and strategic policy

298
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,160
making bodies

299
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:52,000
that has harmed us the author says that

300
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,600
there is no problem with technological

301
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,440
capability we have it

302
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,519
but the advances in technology

303
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,839
especially artificial intelligence

304
00:09:57,519 --> 00:10:00,800
requires a skill for intelligence

305
00:09:59,839 --> 00:10:02,959
analysis

306
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,160
and the author is not sure if the

307
00:10:02,959 --> 00:10:06,560
skilling up of

308
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,320
intelligence force has happened the

309
00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:09,440
principal responsibility for

310
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,079
intelligence system

311
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:14,399
and analysis concerning china rests with

312
00:10:12,079 --> 00:10:16,800
national security council secretariat

313
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:19,360
india's external intelligence agency

314
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,920
which is raw the research and analysis

315
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,720
wing

316
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,680
and to some extent defense intelligence

317
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,839
agency

318
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:27,519
the national security council used to

319
00:10:25,839 --> 00:10:29,920
have three layers

320
00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:32,320
and recently one of the lair joint

321
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,160
intelligence committee was dismantled

322
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,920
and the author suggests that this

323
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,920
dismantling has weakened the

324
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,800
intelligence assessment system

325
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,320
he further says that in case of raw lack

326
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,360
of domain expert

327
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:47,120
and inadequacy of china specialist might

328
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:50,000
also have been contributing factor

329
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,959
in ministry of external affairs experts

330
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,519
on china

331
00:10:50,959 --> 00:10:55,920
have decreased in number and the general

332
00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:58,320
tilt of the ministry towards us

333
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,000
has resulted in imbalance in the way

334
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,079
that the ministry perceives the

335
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,920
problems and the situation in the region

336
00:11:02,079 --> 00:11:05,600
especially vis-a-vis china

337
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,839
the author also highlights one of the

338
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,880
important shift in diplomacy that india

339
00:11:07,839 --> 00:11:10,560
had recently

340
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,720
the author says that preference have

341
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:14,560
been given to submit diplomacy

342
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,160
summit diplomacy is one in which the

343
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:18,480
head of the governments meet

344
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,399
the author says that summit diplomacy

345
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,279
cannot be a substitute

346
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:24,240
for carefully structured foreign office

347
00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:26,800
policy making

348
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:29,440
foreign office is the embassy basically

349
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:32,079
foreign office has a great role to play

350
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,680
in any country's strategic policy the

351
00:11:32,079 --> 00:11:35,360
information that they gather from the

352
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:37,120
country is very important the

353
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,880
sensitivities of the nation

354
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,200
is known basically from the foreign

355
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,320
office nepal suddenly has come as a

356
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,720
surprise to us

357
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,560
but the foreign office in nepal must

358
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,360
have been aware of what's happening in

359
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:49,839
the nation

360
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,079
perhaps the input was not taken or the

361
00:11:49,839 --> 00:11:53,760
importance to that input was not given

362
00:11:52,079 --> 00:11:56,079
the author is saying that summit

363
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,480
diplomacy most of the time

364
00:11:56,079 --> 00:12:00,720
backfires he gives the example the

365
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,959
disastrous meeting of the prime minister

366
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,000
indira gandhi and the then u.s president

367
00:12:02,959 --> 00:12:06,240
richard nixon

368
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,920
had long-term adverse impact on

369
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,279
india-u.s relation

370
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,519
although there are some successful

371
00:12:09,279 --> 00:12:13,519
examples for example the rapid between

372
00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:16,320
the prime minister manmohan singh

373
00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:17,360
and the u.s president george w bush did

374
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,440
a lot of good

375
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,720
to the bilateral relation but he

376
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,760
suggests that that was an

377
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:26,160
exception mostly the summit diplomacy

378
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,000
does not work out very well currently

379
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,160
india's summit diplomacy

380
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,720
has marginalized the external affair

381
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,880
ministry with regard to policy making

382
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,560
and that is why we did not have a

383
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:39,519
holistic strategy

384
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:42,320
to deal with china and probably we are

385
00:12:39,519 --> 00:12:44,480
paying a price for it

386
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,440
this news article is from page number

387
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,639
seven

388
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:50,160

and accordingly the ministry has issued

531
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,520

environmentalists

535
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,240
one is related to the dilution of eia

norms

537
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:03,760

540
00:18:05,919 --> 00:18:10,080
category a has projects which are

541
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,039
located in the ecosensitive zone

542
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,160
and thus require mandatory eia the eia

543
00:18:13,039 --> 00:18:16,559
for this category

544
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,840
is done by the ministry itself then

545
00:18:16,559 --> 00:18:20,480
there are category b

546
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:22,080
projects category b projects are further

547
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:25,520
classified as b1

548
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,840
and b2 b1 requires eia to be undertaken

549
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,200
by

550
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:32,080
state forest authorities and b2 project

551
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,960
undergo a screening process and after

552
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,600
screening

553
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,520
they are exempted from eia process so

554
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,039
the screening is done to identify

555
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:42,080
whether the project will lie

556
00:18:39,039 --> 00:18:42,720
in b2 category or not the draft eia

557
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,039
rules

558
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:48,080
puts all hydra project below the

559
00:18:45,039 --> 00:18:51,120
installed capacity of 25 megawatt

560
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,000
under b2 category exempting them all

561
00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:54,400
together

562
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,960
from the eia process this is being

563
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:59,039
criticized as highly projects below 25

564
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,120
megawatt get a blanket exemption

565
00:18:59,039 --> 00:19:03,280
irrespective of their location

566
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:05,200
secondly there was a long standing issue

567
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:08,000
of conflict of interest

568
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,520
eia is usually carried out by expert

569
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,000
appraisal committee

570
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,200
many a times the member of these expert

571
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,000
appraisal committee

572
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,200
approving the projects have been central

573
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,080
water commission member

574
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:22,160
or river valley project chairman etc can

575
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,120
you see the conflict of interest in this

576
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,120
case

577
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:27,280
a member of central water commission or

578
00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:29,360
river valley project or any other water

579
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,600
related body will have the interest

580
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:32,880
in encouraging hydrate power project so

581
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,799
if the same person

582
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,480
is sitting in the appraisal committee

583
00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:37,120
then he will be tending to clear the

584
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,200
project

585
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:40,160
this amounts to clear case of conflict

586
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,480
of interest

587
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,360
and the new notification was expected to

588
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,679
address this

589
00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:47,120
however this aspect has not been touched

590
00:19:45,679 --> 00:19:48,640
in the new notification

591
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:50,799
so these are the two main issues that

592
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,880
you have to keep in mind and since this

593
00:19:50,799 --> 00:19:55,200
is not the final notification maybe

594
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,720
government will incorporate some changes

595
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,200
but these two things you should keep in

596
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,960
your mind there are two more news

597
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,760
articles which are important for the

598
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,480
exam

599
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:07,039
one was covered yesterday the mobla

600
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,039
rebellion

601
00:20:08,799 --> 00:20:12,960
however a more comprehensive notes on

602
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,159
this topic has been provided in the dns

603
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,480
pdf today

604
00:20:14,159 --> 00:20:19,360
the other is regarding the domicile in

605
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:21,679
the union territory of jammu and kashmir

606
00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:22,720
this has been comprehensively covered by

607
00:20:21,679 --> 00:20:26,320
navitsar

608
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:27,360
on 2nd of april 2020. the additional

609
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,000
note on this topic

610
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:30,799
also has been added in the pdf notes for

611
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,720
today

612
00:20:30,799 --> 00:20:35,280
now we will see two news from the

613
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,679
perspective of maine's value edition

614
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,400
one news is from page number four with

615
00:20:37,679 --> 00:20:41,200
the title

616
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:43,600
proof of planting trees must for

617
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,200
availing government services in urissa

618
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,200
actually the jagpur district

619
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,000
administration in odisha has made

620
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,080
plantation

621
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,400
a precondition for obtaining government

622
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:54,799
licenses this is a novel idea

623
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,039
to popularize plantation drive by

624
00:20:54,799 --> 00:20:57,919
assigning specific number of trees to be

625
00:20:57,039 --> 00:21:01,440
planted against

626
00:20:57,919 --> 00:21:03,840
each license or service for example

627
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:06,000
for getting a gun license they have set

628
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:08,159
a condition to plant 10 trees

629
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,840
apart from the general precondition that

630
00:21:08,159 --> 00:21:11,840
is required for example

631
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,600
the certification of good behavior from

632
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,919
neighborhood and etc etc

633
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,600
and for renewal of gun license five

634
00:21:15,919 --> 00:21:20,080
trees have to be planted

635
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:22,080
similar precondition has been set for

636
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,640
opening of new foreign liquor shops

637
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:27,120
and for providing other services these

638
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,360
plantation has to be self-certified

639
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:31,679
through photograph or video evidence

640
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:33,360
although the district administration can

641
00:21:31,679 --> 00:21:35,840
carry out random checking

642
00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:37,919
the success has been stupendous the

643
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,880
district administration has achieved a

644
00:21:37,919 --> 00:21:42,000
milestone

645
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,640
where public have planted 1.25 lakh

646
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,120
trees

647
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:47,039
in the jasper block you can have a small

648
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:48,880
write-up of around 50 words and you can

649
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:50,799
use this as a case study

650
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:54,080
for the environment section of gs paper

651
00:21:50,799 --> 00:21:57,360
3. the other news is from page number 13

652
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,880
it is titled a real page turner the news

653
00:21:57,360 --> 00:22:00,640
is from kerala

654
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,280
the thing is that with the contribution

655
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:06,000
of local residents an initiative by

656
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,880
a library in village of kerala

657
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,360
perumkulum

658
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,440
public bookshelves have been added and

659
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:13,760
this has made this village

660
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,520
india's second village of books the

661
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,360
first village was bhilar

662
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,200
a village in maharashtra's satara

663
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:21,840
district and that was declared as

664
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,799
village of books in 2017 by the state

665
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,960
government

666
00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:27,200
and that sparked the idea and that was

667
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:29,679
continued and made on a larger scale

668
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:32,320
in the state of kerala these public

669
00:22:29,679 --> 00:22:34,320
bookshelves are put out in public areas

670
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,159
strategically where waiting time is high

671
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,480
for example beside bus stop

672
00:22:36,159 --> 00:22:40,080
and these areas are called as book zones

673
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,320
the purpose is to encourage

674
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,200
people to pick books in the public zone

675
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,080
and read them

676
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,600
right there this is an amazing idea

677
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,080
suppose you went for a walk in the

678
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,840
evening

679
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,240
you reached a book zone and you had a

680
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,559
free reading there so nice isn't it

681
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,159
this will also inculcate reading habits

682
00:22:54,559 --> 00:22:58,000
primarily in children

683
00:22:56,159 --> 00:23:00,000
through this idea reading habit in

684
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,640
children can be nurtured at very early

685
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,720
stage

686
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,240
and that is why these book zones mostly

687
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,799
have children books they also have

688
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,960
comics

689
00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:08,000
although they also have books for adults

690
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,159
one thing must be popping

691
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,600
up in your head right now that how this

692
00:23:10,159 --> 00:23:12,559
can be sustained the books would be

693
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,640
missing overnight

694
00:23:12,559 --> 00:23:15,840
or maybe the glass of the shelf will be

695
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,000
shattered very soon

696
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,760
but surprisingly as per the feedback of

697
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,200
the library that is running these book

698
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,039
zones in kerala

699
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,320
these public bookshelves are running

700
00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:26,080
hassle free

701
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,159
one important reason is they are

702
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,640
sponsored by local residents

703
00:23:28,159 --> 00:23:32,240
when you have local ownership then asset

704
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,400
management is always better

705
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:36,480
this is also a very good governance idea

706
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,120
to popularize reading habit and also

707
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,480
improve

708
00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:42,960
the interest of people in books

709
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,720
