What is non- aligned movement?
Non-Aligned Movement is an idea that emerged in 1950. NAM is the second-largest platform globally in terms of country membership after the UN.
It currently has more than 120 members.
The evolution of NAM:
During 1950s, the world was emerging out of the long, dark period of colonialism.
Newly independent nations dreamed they could make their way in this new world without hewing to either of the big powers, the United States and the Soviet Union, eschewing the icy hostilities of the Cold War and bask in the warmth of Third World (as it was then known) cooperation.
The co-founders were India’s Jawaharlal Nehru, Indonesia’s Sukarno, Egypt’s Gemal Abdel Nasser, Yugoslavia’s Josep Broz Tito, and Ghana’s Kwame Nkrumah were all figures of international consequence, and their collective charisma attracted lesser lights from around the world.
The Asian-African Conference of 1955 held in Bandung was the catalyst for the establishment of the Non-Aligned Movement.
The actual formation took place in Belgrade, where the Non-Aligned Movement was formally established by the leaders of 25 developing countries in 1961.
Why is it losing relevance today? –
NAM today has grown into a forum where developing nations could blame all their problems on the big powers.
It has become a platform for some of the world’s most despicable leaders to preen and posture.
NAM’s reason to exist ended in 1989, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the end of the Cold War. The world was left with a single superpower, the US, but quickly became multipolar, with China and India emerging as strong magnetic forces in their own right.

Bru-Reang refugee crisis
A joint team of Nagarik Suraksha Mancha, mostly representing Bengali people displaced from erstwhile East Pakistan post-partition in 1947, and the Mizo Convention have submitted a memorandum to Tripura Chief Minister protesting the proposed settlement of the displaced Brus in Kanchanpur Sub-Division of North Tripura district.
What’s the issue?
The centre, in January 2020, signed a historic pact for permanent solution of Bru refugees’ issue.
The agreement was between Union Government, Governments of Tripura and Mizoram and Bru-Reang representatives to end the 23-year old Bru-Reang refugee crisis.
Opponents, now, do not want the Brus to settle in Kanchanpur Sub-Division of North Tripura district. The two organisations, however, clarified that they have no objection to the settlement of Brus in 22 other sub-divisions of Tripura.
Highlights of the agreement:
Under the agreement, the centre has announced a package of Rs. 600 crore under this agreement.

Highlights of the agreement:
Under the agreement, the centre has announced a package of Rs. 600 crore under this agreement.
As per the agreement the Bru tribes would be given land to reside in Tripura.
A fixed deposit of Rs. 4 lakh will be given to each family as an amount of government aid. They will be able to withdraw this amount after two years.
Each of the displaced families will be given 40×30 sq ft residential plots.
Apart from them, each family will be given Rs. 5,000 cash per month for two years.
The agreement highlights that each displaced family will also be given free ration for two years and aid of Rs. 1.5 lakh to build their houses.
Background:
More than 30,000 Bru tribes who fled Mizoram, are residing in Tripura’s refugee camps.
Who are Brus?
The Brus, also referred to as the Reangs, are spread across the northeastern states of Tripura, Assam, Manipur, and Mizoram.
In Tripura, they are recognised as a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group. In Mizoram, they have been targeted by groups that do not consider them indigenous to the state.
What’s the issue?
A bout of ethnic violence forced thousands of people from the Bru tribe to leave their homes in Mizoram.
The displaced Bru people from Mizoram have been living in various camps in Tripura since 1997. In 1997, the murder of a Mizo forest guard at the Dampa Tiger Reserve in Mizoram’s Mamit district allegedly by Bru militants led to a violent backlash against the community, forcing several thousand people to flee to neighbouring Tripura.
The Bru militancy was a reactionary movement against Mizo nationalist groups who had demanded in the mid-1990s that the Brus be left out of the state’s electoral rolls, contending that the tribe was not indigenous to Mizoram.

Buddha's Purnima is a Buddhist festival that is celebrated in most of East Asia commemorating the birth of the Prince Siddhartha Gautama, later the Gautama Buddha, and was founder of the Buddhism. According to Buddhist tradition and modern academic consensus, Gautama Buddha was born in Lumbini (currently located in Nepal), and raised in the Shakya capital of Kapilavastu.
Currency Change in Iran
Iran’s currency is set to be re-named and re-valued.
Long called the rial, Iran’s money will soon likely be called the Toman, and an impressive four zeros will be shaved off all denominations.
What was previously 10,000 rials will become one Toman under the plans.
What’s the issue?
Iran has seen the value of its national currency decline steadily since the Islamic Revolution brought the religious government to power in 1979. That drop has accelerated in recent years as harsh US sanctions battered the country’s economy.
The currency has been devalued 3,500 times since 1971. It declined steadily since the Iranian Revolution, 1979 brought the religious government to power.
The devaluation of the rial has been marked by four key turning points:
1.The Islamic Revolution of 1979
2.The end of the Iran-Iraq war in 1989
3.Last years of hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s tenure
