🔆A mandate for a new economic approach

To continue with the ‘winning formula’ — the economic policy of the past decade — would be to ignore the people’s verdict, which is a reflection of their discontent

🔆What is Anand Marriage Act

✅It provides statutory recognition of marriage rituals of the Sikh community in India.

✅The emergence of the Anand Marriage Act dates back to 1909 when the British Imperial Legislative Council passed legislation for the recognition of the Sikh wedding ceremony Anand Karaj.

✅The Act aimed to acknowledge and respect the customs and practices of the community.

✅In 2012, the Parliament passed the Anand Marriage (Amendment) Bill, bringing Sikh traditional marriages under the purview of legal recognition.

✅While the central government approved the amendments, it was left for individual states and union territories to frame respective rules for the registration of Anand marriages.

✅Significance of the Act: It provides statutory recognition to marriage rituals of Sikhs, fulfilling their long-standing demand to not have to solemnise their marriages under the Hindu Marriage Act.

🔆India will sign and rectify the High sea treaty

📍UN High Seas Treaty:

✅It is the first-ever treaty to protect the world's oceans that lie outside national boundaries.
✅It is also known as the ‘Paris Agreement for the Ocean.’
✅It is a legally binding treaty that aims at protecting, caring for, and ensuring the responsible use of the marine environment, maintaining the integrity of ocean ecosystems, and conserving the inherent value of marine biological diversity.
✅The treaty is built on the legacy of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which is the last international agreement on ocean protection, signed 40 years ago in 1982. UNCLOS established an area called the high seas.

📍What are High Seas?

✅The high seas begin at the border of countries’ exclusive economic zones, which extend up to 370km (200 nautical miles) from coastlines.
✅Beyond that point, the seas are under the jurisdiction of no country.
