  • How invasion of Ukraine could transform nuclear landscape of Asia

    Context

    Russian President Vladimir Putin’s nuclear sabre-rattling in Ukraine, has triggered a far more consequential debate on the importance of atomic weapons in deterring Chinese expansionism.

    Background

    • Ukraine agreed in 1994 to give up the nuclear weapons that it inherited from the Soviet Union in return for guarantees on Kyiv’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
    • Clearly, those legal guarantees were no substitute for nuclear weapons.

    Changing stand on nuclear weapons

    • Debate in Japan: In an important statement last week, the former prime minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, called for a national debate on hosting American nuclear weapons on Japanese soil.
    • One element of the debate is the fact that nuclear weapons remain the greatest deterrent, especially against a vastly superior adversary.
    • Korea strengthening nuclear deterrence: In South Korea, which is electing its president this week, front-runner Yoon Suk-yeol has talked of strengthening Seoul’s nuclear deterrence against both Pyongyang and Beijing.
    • Taiwan and Australia developing nuclear submarine: Taiwan, is reportedly developing a nuclear-powered submarine that could offer some deterrence against a Chinese invading force.
    • Australia, which is working with the UK and the US to build nuclear-powered submarines, is accelerating the project after the Ukraine invasion.

    Threat of escalation to nuclear war

    • The threat of escalation to the nuclear level was very much in the mind of NATO’s military planners when the alliance refused to be drawn into a firefight with Russia in Ukraine.
    • Moscow is also conscious of the fact that there are two nuclear weapon powers in Europe — Britain and France.
    • Nuclear sharing arrangement: Russia is also aware of the “nuclear sharing” arrangements between the US and some European allies — Belgium, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands.
    • Under this framework, European allies host US nuclear weapons on their soil and authorise their armed forces to deliver American nuclear weapons on Russia.
    • Nuclear sharing also involves continuous consultations on nuclear doctrine and the planning of nuclear operations.
    • The US and its allies are also pursuing a “hybrid war” that boosts Ukrainian resistance against Russian armed forces and raises military, economic, and political costs of Moscow’s aggression.

    Threat of China invading Taiwan

    • Taiwan is far more important for Asian (and global) security than Ukraine is for Europe.
    • Taiwan sits at the heart of the Western Pacific and straddles the sea line of communication in the world’s most dynamic economic arena.
    • It is the main source of silicon chips for the world.
    • When China conquers Taiwan it will dramatically transform the geopolitics of Asia.
    • As Putin becomes more dependent on China, Russia is bound to back Xi Jinping’s ambitions in Asia.
    • This is the context in which China’s eastern neighbours are taking a fresh look at the nuclear option.
    • Nuclear sharing arrangement: On the nuclear front, the debate in Japan and South Korea is about potential nuclear sharing arrangements with the US.
    • In Taiwan and Australia, the emphasis is on developing nuclear-powered submarines.
    • Deployment of strategic weapons: The US too is debating the deployment of new strategic weapon systems in Asia that might encourage China to pause before trying to emulate Russia’s Ukraine adventure.

    Consider the question ” Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is going to transform the nuclear landscape of Asia. Comment.”

    Conclusion

    One way or another, Russia’s war in Ukraine is bound to transform the Asian nuclear landscape.

  • Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow || International Women’s Day 2022

    Since 2011, the International Women’s Day is observed every year on March 8 to celebrate women’s rights and their social, economic, cultural and political achievements in various spheres. The day also symbolises a focal point in the women’s rights movement, attention to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, violence and abuse against women, and also action for accelerating gender parity. As the United Nations quoted “This International Women’s Day, let’s claim Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow”.

    This year our students, and Team Members have shared their messages on this day.

    #Breakthebias.
    Forget all the major things happening around the world and question yourself what are you contributing to it?
    By breaking the stereotypes of gender norms and roles, are we able to look at woman’s gender from the broader stance of her being a being first?


    If we just start looking at gender from a being perspective. This debate of biasness, empowerment would take a backseat and then we will be moving towards a just society beyond compartmentalisation.


    We’ll be able to look at being’s values, virtues, capabilities, hard work beyond any lens of gender identity.


    It doesn’t matter to what gender you belong to, trans/woman/man, all have equal responsibility to empower women they’re surrounded with.


    It has to start at home, build it to the nation, make it worldwide.
    Woman- refers to every individual who identifies herself as being a woman.

    So when the storm comes, instead of fighting the waves, ride them. Ride and awake that undaunting spirit in your heart to fight all the destructive energies which you’ve created in your mind. This negative energy is barely of perishable nature at your mental level. This is not in your heart. This must decay. The pious energy within you shall always be stronger to win in the end. This soulful energy has a permanent nature. This must strengthen. Also, there’s glory in actions. Give your best performance today.
    Live that happy woman in your everyday life!

    Healing the society from sharp moral rupture…..
    She extrapolated a way better picture!
    Marginalized from mainstream,no right to vote…..
    She turned herself into the right antidote!
    They presumed their brilliance she never could tackle……
    They’ve been warming up and she’s at the pinnacle!
    Submitting to customs was a cliched repeat……
    She rose from the ashes defying defeat!
    And guiding mankind from graphite to ink…..
    She plays the character that makes men think!!!

    Woman being a single word itself is a sum of many words, be it patience, selfless love and care or immense strength. I totally agree with the saying that women are just like those tea bags , one can not realize its strength and potential unless it is poured in hot water. And this has been time and again proved when women were given this hot water like opportunities. So this women’s day i wish  a very happy women’s day to all those women who come forward to fulfill their dreams, who stand against all odds of life, and who dare to raise their voice for their dignity and self respect.

    A sustainable future for the whole world is often looked at as a priority but one important aspect of it is often overlooked and that is ‘equal opportunity for women’. Since many years, owing to the persistent attitude of women in fighting for their place, rights and protection ,has been changing the deeply rooted flawed beliefs of society. It is the responsibility of every individual, nation, and organisation to help bring equality to each and every woman. And to achieve this , apart from institutional frameworks , there is a need for people and a woman herself to recognise and celebrate each and every milestone ,however big or small,  achieved. The world needs women heroes but more importantly, the world needs to celebrate small heroic moves of every woman. This women’s day , lets celebrate the countless heroic moves of every woman in making a place for herself in this world.

    Women’s day line- Role of women has been of immense significance since time immemorial, be it domestic domain or work life, everywhere women have a significant roles to play and the COVID situation has impactfully highlighted the hard work and efforts put in by women counterparts in household work and the work-life balance along with deligently raising children.   we should all work together towards the path of gender equality, leading into the world; in lines of Rabindranath Tagore ” Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high, where knowledge is free and where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic wall” ( here in reference to women fragmentation and domestic walls pertains to old customs beliefs and practices which held back women from progressing and having equal fair chance in various aspects of life).

    When God created woman he was working late on the 6th day.
    An angel came by and asked, “Why spend so much time on her?”
    The Lord answered, “Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her?
    She must function in all kinds of situations.
    She must be able to embrace several kids at the same time.
    Have a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart.
    She must do all this with only two hands.
    She cures herself when sick and can work 18 hours a day.”
    The angel was impressed, “Just two hands…impossible!
    And this is the standard model?” Koi
    The angel came closer and touched the woman.
    “But you have made her so soft, Lord.”
    “She is soft”, said the Lord,
    “But I have made her strong. You can’t imagine what she can endure and overcome.”
    “Can she think?” The angel asked.
    The Lord answered, “Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate.”
    The angel touched her cheeks.
    “Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her.”
    “She is not leaking…it is a tear” the Lord corrected the angel.
    “What’s it for?” Asked the angel.
    The Lord said, “Tears are her way of expressing her grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride.”
    This made a big impression on the angel,
    “Lord, you are a genius. You thought of everything. A woman is indeed marvellous!”
    Lord said, “Indeed she is.
    She has strength that amazes a man.
    She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.
    She holds happiness, love and opinions.
    She smiles when she feels like screaming.
    She sings when she feels like crying.
    Cries when happy and laughs when afraid.
    She fights for what she believes in.
    Her love is unconditional.
    Her heart is broken when a next-of-kin or a friend dies but she finds strength to get on with life.”
    The angel asked: “So she is a perfect being?”
    The Lord replied, “No. She has just one drawback…she often forgets what she is worth.”

  • Russian Invasion of Ukraine: Global Implications

  • Do Economic Sanctions work as a deterrent?

    The economic sanctions imposed by the US, UK, and the EU on Russia for going to war against Ukraine could prove to be detrimental to the country.

    What do economic sanctions mean?

    • Economic sanctions are penalties or bans that are levied against a country to push it to modify its strategic decisions.
    • They include withdrawal of customary trade and financial relations for security and foreign policy purposes.
    • Sanctions could result in cutting economic ties in every respect such as terms of trade, financial assistance, transit support, travel bans, asset freezes, and trade restrictions.
    • The curbs could also be targeted, thus restricting transactions with certain businesses, groups, or individuals.
    • Amid increased global and economic interdependence, they could prove to be detrimental for the targeted country.

    How do sanctions impact an economy?

    • No country can afford to be a closed economy.
    • The affected country’s supply chain gets disrupted in terms of the inflow of goods and services and for reaching out to the export markets.
    • In the former, there is a risk of the internal economy being crippled, especially if it depends on imports of critical raw materials.
    • The domestic economy could also be deprived of external market support.
    • The risk element is high especially in case of economic curbs being imposed collectively, such as by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

    What are the economic sanctions against Russia?

    • Major Russian banks have been banned from the SWIFT financial messaging service and their assets have been frozen.
    • Sanctions have been levied on the Russian Direct Investment Fund and against some of Russia’s wealthiest people.
    • Access to air-space has been denied and export controls introduced.
    • The countries imposing curbs on Russia account for 34% of world GDP.

    What is the cost of such restrictions?

    • This depends on the economic strength of the country being targeted.
    • Russia cannot be brushed aside as an ordinary economy.
    • The country is important to the global economy because of its oil reserves and access to nuclear power.
    • Russia is also a supplier of sophisticated defence products and is an important supplier of crucial defence products to India.
    • Given the long-term strategic nature of the relationship, India is abstaining from voting on resolutions to condemn Russia.

    How did India manage curbs after Pokhran-II?

    • India’s dependence on external assistance was more than $100 billion.
    • The government appealed to non-resident Indians (NRIs) whose annual savings were more than $400 billion.
    • NRIs’ subscription to government bonds was more than double the annual foreign assistance.
    • India could also showcase its scientific strength as none of the scientists involved were trained abroad.
    • This helped India display confidence, especially to investors.

  • The complexities for implementing a No-Fly Zone

    The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary General stated that the organisation would not designate the Ukrainian airspace as a ‘No Fly Zone’ which he said would lead to a full-fledged war in Europe, involving many more countries and resulting in greater human suffering.

    What is a No-Fly Zone ?

    • In simple terms, a No-Fly Zone refers to a particular airspace wherein aircraft, excluding those permitted by an enforcement agency, are barred from flying.
    • Articles under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter dealing with Action with Respect to Threats to the Peace, Breaches of the Peace, and Acts of Aggression’ are invoked to authorise a potential no-fly zone.
    • Article 39 dictates the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to determine the probable existence of any threat to peace or an act of aggression.
    • It suggests further measures, if required, are to be carded out in accordance to Article 41 and 42 to restore international peace and security.
    • No fly zones have been implemented without UN mandate too.

    Cases of implementation

    • In 1991 after the first Gulf War, U.S. and its coalition partners imposed two no fly zones over Iraq to prevent Saddam Hussain born attacking ethnic groups.
    • In non-combat situations, No fly zones can be imposed permanently and temporarily over sensitive installations or for high profile events like Olympics.

    What is the feasibility of ‘No fly zone over Ukraine?

    • No-fly zone declarations are essentially a compromise in situations demanding a response to ongoing violence, but full military intervention is politically untenable.
    • NATO has previously imposed No-Fly Zones in non-member states like Libya and Bosnia. With Russia it fears a full-fledged war in Europe.
    • It has been demanding that NATO scale back to the pre-1997 arrangements. Both Russia and Ukraine are not members of NATO.
    • Due to this the idea of imposing a no fly zone’ over Ukraine has been rejected outright.
    • If implemented, it means NATO deploying aircraft and assets which would result in a direct confrontation with Russia.

    What are the broad contours in a No-Fly Zone?

    • The UNSC had banned all flights in the Libyan airspace post adoption of Resolution 1973 in 2011 in response to the Libyan Civil War.
    • Member slates were asked to deny permission to any Libyan registered aircraft to use the territory without requisite approval.
    • Further, the member states could bar any entity from flying if they found reasonable grounds to believe the aircraft is ferrying lethal or non-lethal military equipment.
    • Member states were permitted to allow flights whose sole purpose was humanitarian, such as delivery of medical supplies and food, chauffer humanitarian workers and related assistance, or evacuating foreign nationals from the territory.

    ‘Donate a Pension’ Scheme

    • Maan-Dhan scheme is a government scheme meant for old age protection and social security of unorganized workers.

    Eligibility criteria and benefits

    • The scheme was launched in 2019, allows unorganized sector workers between 18 and 40 years who earn up to ₹15,000 a month to enroll by paying a premium amount between ₹55 and ₹200, depending on the age, that would be matched by the government.

  • Stagflation’ in India

    Reports suggest that crude oil prices soared and touched almost $140 per barrel mark amid Russian invasion of Ukraine. This has posed a risk of causing Stagflation in India.

    What is Stagflation?

    • Stagflation is a stagnant growth and persistently high inflation. It, thus, describes a rather rare and curious condition of an economy.
    • Iain Macleod, a Conservative Party MP in the United Kingdom, is known to have coined the phrase during his speech on the UK economy in November 1965.
    • Typically, rising inflation happens when an economy is booming — people are earning lots of money, demanding lots of goods and services and as a result, prices keep going up.
    • When the demand is down and the economy is in the doldrums, by the reverse logic, prices tend to stagnate (or even fall).
    • But stagflation is a condition where an economy experiences the worst of both worlds — the growth rate is largely stagnant (along with rising unemployment) and inflation is not only high but persistently so.

    How does one get into Stagflation?

    • The best-known case of stagflation is what happened in the early and mid-1970s.
    • The OPEC (Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries), which works like a cartel, decided to cut crude oil supply.
    • This sent oil prices soaring across the world; they were up by almost 70%.
    • This sudden oil price shock not only raised inflation everywhere, especially in the western economies but also constrained their ability to produce, thus hampering their economic growth.
    • High inflation and stalled growth (and the resulting unemployment) created stagflation.

    Is India facing stagflation?

    • In the recent past, this question has gained prominence since late 2019, when retail inflation spiked due to unseasonal rains causing a spike in food inflation.
    • In December 2019, it was also becoming difficult for the government to deny that India’s growth rate was witnessing a secular deceleration.
    • As revised estimates, released in January end, now show, India’s GDP growth rate decelerated from over 8% in 2016-17 to just 3.7% in 2019-20.
    • However, the answer to this question in December 2019 was a clear no.
    • For one, in absolute terms, India’s GDP was still growing, albeit at a progressively slower rate.

    Why this is a cause of concern?

    • Russia is the world’s second-largest oil producer and, as such, if its oil is kept out of the market because of sanctions, it will not only lead to prices spiking, but also mean they will stay that way for long.
    • While India is not directly involved in the conflict, it will be badly affected if oil prices move higher and stay that way.
    • India imports more than 84% of its total oil demand. At one level, that puts into perspective all the talk of being Atmanirbhar (or self-reliant).
    • Without these imports, India’s economy would come to a sudden halt — both metaphorically as well as actually.

    Expected impact on Indian Economy

    • Higher inflation would rob Indians of their purchasing power, thus bringing down their overall demand.
    • In other words, people are not demanding enough for the economy to grow fast.
    • Private consumer demand is the biggest driver of growth in India.
    • Such aggregate demand — the monetary sum of all the soaps, phones, cars, refrigerators, holidays etc. that we all spend on in our personal capacity — accounts for more than 55% of India’s total GDP.
    • Higher prices will reduce this demand, which is already struggling to come back up to the pre-Covid level.
    • Fewer goods and services being demanded will then disincentivise businesses from investing in new capacities, which, in turn, will exacerbate the unemployment crisis and lead to even lower incomes.

    Back2Basics: Inflation and its impact

    • Depression: It is Economic depression is a sustained, long-term downturn in economic
    • Deflation: It is the general fall in the price level over a period of time.
    • Disinflation: It is the fall in the rate of inflation or a slower rate of inflation. Example: a fall in the inflation rate from 8% to 6%.
    • Reflation: It is the act of stimulating the economy by increasing the money supply or by reducing taxes, seeking to bring the economy back up to the long-term trend, following a dip in the business cycle. It is the opposite of disinflation.
    • Skewflation: It is the skewed rise in the price of some items while remaining item prices remain the same. E.g. Seasonal rise in the price of onions.
    • Stagflation: The situation of rising prices along with falling growth and employment, is called stagflation. Inflation accompanied by an economic recession.

    Apart from conducting subject-wise classes that covers all the Prelims-Mains syllabus from scratch, aspirants will follow a customised timetable and will complete their revision on a daily basis to attempt our weekly prelims and mains tests. Once the test is over, they will get a strategy call from a mentor, who will clear their doubts and tell them how to improve their performance from next test onwards.

    Simply put, like Ekalavya you will be getting a unique coaching experience that eludes other UPSC aspirants. Even aspects like Essay, Ethics and CSAT which is ignored in other normal coaching programs, will be covered over here with tests, mentorship, classes and notes.

    If you take the upcoming free UPSC national scholarship test and come out with flying colours, you will get about 60% scholarship on the Civilsdaily Flagship Foundation Course.
