JAMMU & KASHMIR LIGHT INFANTRY REGIMENT

◆India's first Light Infantry was born out of the peoples' response in 1947, to the invasion of Kashmir by Pakistan. In the difficult days of the invasion, the population formed local defence groups.

◆These were later organised into militias responsible for specific sectors, e.g., Leh, Nubra, Jammu, Punch, etc. Over a period, these were grouped into the Militia battalions.

◆Two of these were later converted into the Ladakh Scouts. The militia battalions operated with skill on the Line of Control (LoC), and in the 1971 Indo-Pak War earned three battle honours.

◆In 1972, the militia battalions were brought on par with the army units, and in 1976 designated the Jammu & Kashmir Light Infantry. Since then, battalions of the Light Infantry have served with honour in different parts of the country, in Sri Lanka and as part of the United Nations Force in Somalia.

◆The 8th JAK LI earned great honour by capturing a Pakistani post at 21,000 feet at the Siachen Glacier in 1987. Naib Subedar Bana Singh, 8th JAK LI, earned the Param Vir Chakra for the Regiment in this battle. He is the first and only recipient of the PVC for the Regiment.

◆This regiment’s regimental insignia consists of a pair of crossed rifles. The regiment mostly consists of volunteers from the state of Jammu & Kashmir. 50% of the regiment’s troops are Muslims while the rest represent other ethnic groups from the state.

◆The Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry is considered to be the most decorated regiment of the Indian army having won 1 Param Vir Chakra and 3 Ashok Chakra. In 1984, units of the JAK LI were deployed to the Siachen Glacier as part of Operation Meghdoot.

◆In 1987, JAK LI units were deployed to Sri Lanka as part of Operation Pawan. In 1999, JAK LI earned honours in the Kargil War. The Chief of Army Staff made a special instant award of “Unit Citation” to the 12th battalion for their exceptionally gallant and sterling performance during the battles of Point 5203 on the night of 10/11 June 1999 and Point 4812 on the night of 30 June/1 July 1999 in Batalik.

◆The overall performance of the battalion during Operation Vijay was exceptional and marked with exemplary valour and grit in the face of the enemy.

MARATHA LIGHT INFANTRY REGIMENT

◆The Maratha military qualities were brilliantly optimised in their historic campaigns against the Mughals and the British, under the leadership of Shivaji and succeeding rulers.

◆Maratha armies, comprising both infantry and light cavalry with the Maratha naval power had dominated the military scene in India for three centuries.

◆One of the famous regiments of the Indian Army, the Maratha Light Infantry is also one of the oldest. It's First battalion, also known as the Jangi Paltan, was raised in 1768 as part of the Bombay Sepoys.

◆The Marathas came to special attention in the Great War (World War I) and have since maintained a record of dependability in war and peace. The quick moving Marathas with their traditions of mountain warfare were ideally suited to and were formed into a light infantry regiment.

◆The Regiment has produced one Army Chief, General Joginder Jaswant Singh who also serves as the Colonel of the Regiment.

◆This regiment traces its lineage to the Bombay Sepoys, raised in 1768, making it the most senior light infantry regiment in the Indian Army.

◆The class composition of the regiment was and is primarily formed by Maratha recruits from the former Maratha Empire. The men are mostly drawn from all over the state of Maharashtra, with some percentage from Marathi-speaking areas of Karnataka including Coorg.

◆The regiment has the honour of being the most decorated regiment of the Indian Army and has won over 60 battle honours. In the First World War they won 21 battle honours which was the most by any regiment.

Do finish all these psych tests in the prescribed time and attempt all and share your attempts(numbers only) on the group.
Daily practice is easy but attempting the real test format with real timings is bit challenging and you have to attempt with positivity and determination.

And compilation of all SRTs and WATs which have been discussed on the group earlier on daily basis,takes plenty of time.So do some justice to your efforts as well as ours.

It's advised to every candidate to be truthful to themselves and do some serious self-analysis.

Note - Now onwards we will be sharing the new compiled sets of TAT, WAT and SRT on each Sunday.
So here we go with TAT SET 1

Planning for a biosecure future

✔️Context

◆The recent pandemic has made it clear that traditional national security is no longer credible, the future of national security studies, needs to undergo a paradigm shift if it must retain any policy impact.

◆It is time to rethink about the sources of insecurity.

◆The growth of exponential technologies such as synthetic biology, artificial intelligence and nanotechnology has changed the theory and practice of national security, and this was further quickened by COVID-19.

✔️Synthetic biology

●Biological revolution through The rapid rise of synthetic biology in the last two decades needs to be analysed for security studies or policy communities.

●The argument is not that COVID-19 originated in a lab or not, but the point to think is that dangerous bio-weapons can come from labs and affect the national security.

●Synthetic Biology is a process where new organisms, biological parts and devices are created or that existing natural life forms are redesigned.

●It is a revolutionary technology which can help us manipulate biological organisms and processes for human betterment, especially in treating diseases, by re-engineering cells. But it is a double-edged sword.

▪️Risks associated with Synthetic Biology:

◆There is a possibility of deliberate misuse for creating biological weapons. Though the technology is still not easily accessible,in future it may not be difficult to access.

◆Accidental leaks of experimental pathogens may lead to disaster.

◆Insufficiently trained staff, inadequately safeguarded facilities, and lack of proper protocols may further give fire to the leak.

◆In 2014, the U.S. Department of Defense categorised synthetic biology as one of the six ‘disruptive basic research areas’ even though linkage between national security and synthetic biology is yet to become an agenda item in mainstream national security debates.

◆The threats emanating from biological sources have not been focussed in a same way as a threat from Nuclear weapons, which are tightly controlled and are a subject of strong global regimes.

◆It has to be understood that a well-orchestrated biological attack could have huge implications

◆for national and global security implications.

●The highly infectious pathogens could be synthetically engineered in a lab causing a huge diaaster.

◆State actors may use this method to carry out an attack against adversaries and it may become difficult to pin responsibility on a specific actor if the incubation period is high and the pathogen can be modified to hide its origin.

◆Similar to the nuclear domain, there is a need to regulate the fields of synthetic biology internationally as there are huge chances of potential misuse.

◆The bio weapons have been classified as ‘weapon of mass destruction’ (WMD) capability, but nothing has been done to prevent its misuse.

▪️Weapons of Mass Destruction:

●Of the three types of WMD, Nuclear weapons have received the maximum safety and security attention through various treaties and institutional arrangements.

●Chemical weapons too have an international convention and an implementing body.

●While for the bio-weapons, we only have a Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) of 1972 with no implementing body and even the convention doesn't clearly lays down rules and procedures to guide research in this field.

●Article 1 of the BTWC bans “microbial or other biological agents, or toxins for production”, while they can be used for medical and bio defence purposes.

●However, In reality there is a thin line between bio-defence research and bio-weapons research.

●Bio-defence research routinely uses pathogens and toxins for experimental purposes, processes, know-how and these outcomes of research could potentially be used to create bio-weapons.

Contd.......

●In the Fifth BTWC Review Conference of 2001, A report by An Ad Hoc Group set up in 1994 to negotiate a Protocol to enhance the transparency of treaty-relevant biological facilities and activities to help deter violations was submitted to BTWC but it was not accepted by the member states and since then the BTWC is in dormant.

●The traditional distinction the international institutional level between biological weapons (a field governed by the BTWC) and diseases (a domain under the World Health Organization) is no more useful, There is a need for convergence of health specialists and bio-weapons/defence specialists.

●The November 2021 BTWC review conference must take stock of the advances in the field and address the thinning line between biotechnology research and bio-weapons research, and take appropriate international measures for monitoring and verification.

▪️India uniquely unprepared:

◆India's existing health care system is in a very pathetic state, it has poor disease surveillance and there is insufficient coordination among various government departments dealing with biosecurity issues.

◆India has multiple institutions dealing with biosafety and biosecurity threats but there is no coordination among them.

◆For Example, The implementation of biosafety guidelines is under Science and Technology Ministry and the Environment Ministry, while labs dealing with biological research are set up under the Indian Council of Medical Research and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, which are under the Ministries of Health and Agriculture, respectively.

●In India, the multiplicity of bodies and ministers makes coordination difficult.

◆Further, given the rising risk of diseases of zoonotic origin, the traditional ministry-wise separation might not be useful.

❓Conclusion:

◆Various steps have to be taken by India and other countries to regulate Biological threats as there is a porous borders and ill-trained border control institutions.

◆COVID-19 should serve as a wake-up call and we should be prepared for defending against pathogens or dangerous biological organisms or agents arriving from abroad and globally too rules and regulations have to be made after understanding the threat from Bio weapons.

G7 Summit

✔️Why in the news-Recently, the 47th G7 summit was held on 11–13 June 2021 in Cornwall in the United Kingdom while it holds the presidency of the G7.

▪️Key outcomes of the G7 Summit

❗️To Build Back Better World (B3W) initiative

●It is a new global infrastructure initiative Build Back Better World (B3W) to help developing nations, countering China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

●It has been proposed by the U.S President.

●The initiative is a values-driven, high-standard, and transparent infrastructure partnership led by major democracies to help narrow the over 40 trillion Dollar infrastructure need in the developing world, which has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

●The B3W will collectively catalyze hundreds of billions of dollars of infrastructure investment for low and middle income countries in the coming years.

❗️TRIPs (Intellectual Property Rights) waiver

●Prime Minister of India has sought “strong support” from the G7 countries for the joint India-South Africa proposal for a TRIPs (Intellectual Property Rights) waiver for coronavirus-related medicines and vaccines.

●The G7 countries all supported “text-based negotiations” on the TRIPS waiver proposal, although the European Union is yet to endorse it.

❗️To boost climate finance

◆G7 leaders agreed to raise their contributions to meet an overdue spending pledge of $100 billion a year to help poorer countries cut carbon emissions and cope with global warming, calling on other developed countries to join the effort.

◆In the communique, the seven nations — the U.S., Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan — reaffirmed their commitment to “jointly mobilise $100 billion per year from public and private sources, through to 2025”.

❗️Contribution of G7 in Global Carbon emissions

●The G7 countries account for 20% of global carbon emissions.

❗️One Earth One health approach

●Prime Minister of India calls for open vaccine chains, ‘one world, one health’ approached during the session, titled ‘Building Back Stronger – Health’, focussed on global recovery from the pandemic and strengthening resilience against future pandemics.

●It was supported by German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

●India’s emphasis on keeping “open supply chains for vaccine raw materials and components to help enhance vaccine production received widespread support”.

●This came days after French President Emanuel Macron supported India’s demand for lifting restrictions on export of raw materials needed to manufacture vaccines.

▪️About G7 Countries

◆It stands for “Group of Seven” industrialized nations.

◆It is a group consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the US.

◆EU is also represented within the G7.

◆It was formerly called G8 with Russia in it, but due to Crimean crisis Russia was ejected from the group

◆It is an informal bloc and takes no mandatory decisions, so the leaders’ declarations at the end of the summit are not binding.
