- Executive: Small states political instability: Uttarakhand CM Rawat resigns. Pushkar Singh Dhami on was sworn in as 11th Chief Minister of Uttarakhand. He also the Third CM in Uttarakhand in jut last four months! Frequent change in the chief minister hampers the public administration development administration and good governance, even though previously some experts kept saying smaller the state=better the administration. उत्तराखंड में पिछले चार महीनों में तीसरा मुख्यमंत्री बदला गया इस प्रकार की राजनीतिक अस्थिरता में लोक प्रशासन, विकास प्रशासन और सुशासन को असर होता है। एक ज़माने में कुछ विशेषज्ञ बड़े राज्यों को छोटे छोटे राज्यों में बाँट देना चाहिए ताकि प्रशासन अच्छे से काम कर सके किन्तु उत्तराखंड की राजनीतिक अस्थिरता उनकी इस थियरी को ग़लत साबित कर रही है

Types of drones: 1) Quadhexacopter drones can carry payloads over 15 kg. so much explosives can cause extensive damage. 2) Heron drones used for military surveillanceSolution? 1) Shoot down the drones with rifles. but it is easier said than done. Requires expert marksmanship, and drone must be in the visible rangeit is difficult during night. 2) DRDO anti-drone system (2019) has has capabilities for hardkill (destroying a drone with lasers) and softkill (jamming a drone’s signals) सुरक्षा के लिए एक नया ख़तरा-ड्रोन आक्रमण: 2020 में ईरान के जनरल कि ड्रोन आक्रमण में हत्या तथा सऊदी अरब के कच्चे तेल की खदानों पर हमला. 2021 मैं जम्मू में भारतीय वायु सेना के ठिकाने पर ड्रोन से हमला.

- Defence: ⚾️?⚾️?✋Pak accuses India of carrying out blast near home of Jamaat-udDawa chief Hafiz Saeed as “Indiasponsored terrorism”. #Ek-tha-tight-&-James-Bond new is not important for the scope of exam
- Summit/Agreement-Bilateral: “Tit-for-Tat/Vaccine imperialism/ racial prejudice”: European Union (EU) Digital Covid Certificate framework (Vaccine passport/ Green past)= if a person has taken vaccines approved by the EU—Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, and Janssen. Then he will be allowed to move freely. Indian vaccines such as Covishield, Covaxin not added in the list. So then Indian government threatened that European nationals’ firangi vaccine certificates will not be accepted while allowing them entry in India. Only after this tit-for-tat, the arrogance of European union ⏬ and then they agreed to accept Indian vaccines in the passport list. यूरोपियन यूनियन भारत द्वारा बनायी गई वैक्सीन न ली हो ऐसे यात्रियों को प्रवेश की अनुमति नहीं दे रहा था तो भारत सरकार ने भी अनौपचारिक रूप से धमकी दी कि फिरंगी वैक्सीन लिए यूरोपीय लोगों को भारत में प्रवेश नहीं देंगे। तो अब यूरोपियन यूनियन की हेकड़ी/घमंड चला गया है और अब वो लाइन पे आ गए हैं।
- Summit/Agreement-Bilateral: India-Turkey relations: 1) Turkey had joined the NATO military mission in Afghanistan but Turkey avoided any combat role. It contributed to the training of the Afghan military and police forces. 2) Turkey’s good relations with both Afghanistan and Pakistan have also given space for Turkey to present itself as a mediator, using “Heart of Asia” conference etc. 3) Turkey’s Islamist internationalism under Recep Tayyip Erdogan has led to Turkey’s deeper alliance with Pakistan= India not happy. 4) Turkey leader Erdogan supporting groups like the Muslim Brotherhood that seek to overthrow moderate governments in the Middle East. India is having good relations with those other countries. 5) India conducted naval exercise with Greece in the Mediterranean to give little indirect warning to Turkey ki “tum limit raho otherwise we can also come in your neighbourhood.“ तुर्की ने अफ़ग़ानिस्तान में अपने सैनिक भेजे किन्तु वे तालिबान से सीधी लड़ाई नहीं करते तुर्की सैनिक केवल अफ़ग़ानी सैनिकों को प्रशिक्षण तालीम देते। तुर्की पाकिस्तान तथा अफ़ग़ानिस्तान के बीच मध्यस्थ की भूमिका भी अदा करता है। हालाँकि तुर्की के पाकिस्तान के साथ ज़रूरत से ज़्यादा मैत्रीपूर्ण रिश्तों से भारत ख़ुश नहीं है। भारतीय नौसेना ने ग्रीस के साथ नौसेना युद्धाभ्यास किया ताकि तुर्की को पता चले कि उसके पड़ोस में भारत भी आ सकता है यदि वह (तुर्की) भारत के पड़ोस में ज़रूरत से ज़्यादा दख़ल देगा। क्योंकि कूटनीति में लोग चमत्कार को ही नमस्कार करते हैं गुलाब का फूल देके हदय परिवर्तन नहीं हो सकता
- Summit/Agreement-Multilateral: Imperialism: Canada- 1,000 unmarked graves of children found at former Catholic Church schools during the colonial times. People are protesting for proper investigation of genocide/ sexual abuse etc. Dave also called for cancelling the Canada Day celebrations. Canada tries to present a very moderate and tolerant image in international relation but there are dirty skeletons in its cupboard as well. (कनाडा में 1000 से ज़्यादा मूलनिवासी बच्चों की क़ब्र पाई गई। क्या उपनिवेशीकरण वाले अंग्रेजों के ज़माने में उन मूल निवासी बच्चों का नरसंहार किया गया था? लोग इस पर जाँच की माँग कर रहे हैं। अंतरराष्ट्रीय रिश्तों में Canada काफ़ी शांतिप्रिय होने का दिखावा तो करता है किन्तु उसका भी भूतकाल मलीन है.)
