✍🏻 Reflections for UPSC Essay / Mains regd.

US Trump's "Operation Absolute Resolve" to arrest Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro

1) History repeats where USA takes over another country in the name of protecting democracy, while critics argue is done to take over the oil resources.

2) USA Parliament (=Congress) is no longer kept in loop for such military actions. Showing a declining control of legislature over executive. Counter: Element of surprise will be lost in raid/war if file reaches Parliament/media. Approval cannot be taken in advance.

3) I have not taken example of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad (2024), because there was no official involvement of USA Troops; and Trump said "not our fight"

UPSC should adopt this (proposed) IIT-JEE model for CSAT

ke during Live Exam, MCQ difficulty will increase or decrease, depending on how the student is ticking the questions in the computer based test.

This will help producing the nuisance of Coaching and Exam stress.

But, UPSC does not have computer based test so difficult to implement
