✅Gs-3 : Internal security- Mizos and myanmar border management .
✅Mains angle
🔴1. When there is emotion involved- it defies logic- Indian govt feels that the influx of refugees is a stress on the national resources whereas Mizos feel that it is a matter of emotions as they are ethically related to mizos. < whenever there is a question of primordial identities like race, religion etc things take an emotive turn. A better way to handle this situation would be to turn the world's attention towards Myanmar at international fora.
🔴2. Border management issue - Assam rifles are manning these fenceless borders- issues and solutions
🔴3. Understanding the difference between extremisim, counterinsurgency, terrorism

✅GS-4 : Ethics- case study- Empathy
🔴Here is a reality check - Especially for the interview candidates- Probably it is a question- which requires an extremely honest answer... not to the panel, but to your own conscience....
🔴Would you be able to cope with the pressure of such a duty?
Most likely these officers have families like all of us, whose family members might be extremely anxious just like how we all are.......
🔴Nobody likes to be on the front end of this diabolical war... The doctors, the frontline workers, none of them, YET there are many who wouldn't think twice to get onto the duty...
🔴Let us strive to be that person- who feels vulnerable yet doesn't think twice to do your duty- Just like those doctors, the police, etc.. IF you are really up for this exam in these times- probably this is what it takes- INTEGRITY and EMPATHY
🎖P.s. : To the Freshers, no, You do not want to say, I am going to die for my country. This is not a movie 🙂 You are much more useful if you are alive🙂

✅GS3- IPR issues- Intellectual property
✅Gs-4 : Ethics- morals- Vaccine equity - A case study
🎖A very shocking fact- as of Jan 2021- the poorest country in the world got just 25 doses of vaccine- JUST 25! vs 39 million doses in rich countries- is it ethical?
🎖Should we blame the pharma companies for making money then?
🔴 Not really ; what is the incentive then for spending so much?
⚠️For examples SARS broke out in 2002- pharma companies spent billions on understanding it- same is the case with EBOLA- they didn't have any returns back then but after that knowledge helped in creating this covid vaccine- What about the money spent ? How do we expect the companies to be so generous?
🎖Does it mean we have to give them a free hand let them rob the poor countries or deny them a vaccine?- Is this how it should work?
✅What then, is the way ahead?- To solve this problem - the entire world should pool money for research- Interesting idea?- Click here to read more about it
⚠️Must read for the interview candidates.

✅GS -4 : Ethics- what do you mean by integrity? Is it different from honesty?
Let me try to explain the difference here.
There is a choice between two bowlers- say A and B.
A is not a seasoned bowler but if we take a look at his record- he has a best bowling figure of 6 wkts for 5 runs in a match. He was honest in his intention that day.
B is another bowler- he doesn't have the same record of A but is proven to be a match winner- especially in the death overs.
Whom do you pick? A or B?
B seems like a rational choice. - it is because he is consistent.
This consistency happens when your belief( that you will win the game)- your values- ( preferring to win every time)- your attitude- being honest in your effort )and your behaviour( manifesting in the results you deliver) have proven your worth.Honesty is instantaneous- like a flower pot- short-lived yet beautiful.Integrity is like a candle- boring unexciting but reliable.
India needs people with integrity🙂

🎖What is this Rwandan Crisis?
🛑The Rwandan genocide of April-July 1994 was the culmination of long-running ethnic tensions between the minority Tutsi community, who had controlled power since colonial rule by Germany and Belgium, and the majority Hutu. Over the course of 100 days, the tragedy took the lives of over 8 lakh people, estimated to amount up to 20% of Rwanda’s population.
🛑In June 1994, France deployed a much-delayed UN-backed military force in southwest Rwanda called Operation Turquoise– which was able to save some people, but was accused of sheltering some of the genocide’s perpetrators
