Moreover, following the recent trend of UPSC, almost all the questions are issue-based rather than news- based. Therefore, the right approach to preparation is to prepare issues, rather than just reading news. Taking this into account, our website www.iasbaba.com will cover current affairs focusing more on ‘issues’ on a daily basis. This will help you pick up relevant news items of the day from various national dailies such as The Hindu, Indian Express, Business Standard, LiveMint, Business Line and other important Online sources. Over time, some of these news items will become important issues. UPSC has the knack of picking such issues and asking general opinion based questions. Answering such questions will require general awareness and an overall understanding of the issue. Therefore, we intend to create the right understanding among aspirants – ‘How to cover these issues? This is the 50th edition of IASbaba’s Monthly Magazine. This edition covers all important issues that were in news in the month of JULY 2019 which can be accessed from https://iasbaba.com/current-affairs-for-ias-upsc-exams/ VALUE ADDITIONS FROM IASBABA Must Read and Connecting the dots. Also, we have introduced Prelim and mains focused snippets and Test Your Knowledge (Prelims MCQs based on daily current affairs) which shall guide you for better revision. ‘Must Read’ section, will give you important links to be read from exam perspective. This will make sure that, you don’t miss out on any important news/editorials from various newspapers on daily basis. Under each news article, ‘Connecting the dots’ facilitates your thinking to connect and ponder over various aspects of an issue. Basically, it helps you in understanding an issue from multi-dimensional view-point. You will understand its importance while giving Mains or Interview.

Our articles are widely cited and relied upon in academic and policymaking discourses, notably in recent times by the Economic Survey 2017-2018, the National Judicial Academy, etc. The collaborative response paper enclosed herewith has been prepared by select editors and members of the NUJS Law Review, in response to the Law Commission of India’s notice on April 17, 2018 inviting comments from stakeholders, regarding the summary of its draft working paper pertaining to “Simultaneous Elections Constitutional and Legal Perspectives”.

  • Inter-State River Water Disputes
    1st August 2019 Inter-State river water disputes Part of: GS Prelims and Mains GS- II – issues and challenges pertaining to the federal structure In News Lok Sabha passed a bill to establish a single central tribunal for inter-state water disputes in place of the numerous existing ones so as to speed up resolution process The tribunal can set up multiple benches for different disputes Composition of Central tribunal – Chairperson (retired SC judge), a vice-chairperson, three judiciary members and three experts. Appointment of tribunal members – by the Central government on recommendation of a selection committee comprising the PM, CJI and ministers of law & justice and Jal Shakti The bill proposes to set up a dispute resolution committee of experts, headed by a secretary-level officer of the government. Once a dispute arises, it would be referred to this committee, which would have a year to resolve it, with an extension of six months If the committee fails to arrive at a conclusion, the matter would be referred to a Central tribunal whereby final award will be delivered in two years and whenever it gives the order, the verdict will be notified automatically. The decision of the tribunal would be binding on states and have the ―same force as an order of the Supreme Court‖ Concerns raised by Opposition A major concern has been over data collection from river basins, the core of adjudication. Centralization of powers as the selection committee to recommend tribunal members does not have any representation from the States Do you know? India has 18 % of the world‘s population but only 4% replenishable water At present, there are nine tribunals including those on Cauvery, Mahadayi, Ravi and Beas, Vansadhara and Krishna river.

  • Politics in North India Versus South India: a Comparative Analysis
    © 2018 JETIR June 2018, Volume 5, Issue 6 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) POLITICS IN NORTH INDIA VERSUS SOUTH INDIA: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS Prof. (Dr.) G. S. Rajpurohit*, Amandeep Kaur** * Dean, Faculty of Law, Jagannath University Jaipur **Research Scholar, Jagannath University, Jaipur ABSTRACT Cash for votes, Personality cult, opportunism, and nepotism and caste system has very much rooted in the political structure of the Southern as well as northern part of India. All these factors determine the political scenario in the southern and northern states at the time of elections. There are many similarities in both the parts and there are many differences which makes them distinct from each other. This paper is an effort to understand the differences and similarities in the politics of the southern and northern states of India. KEYWORDS: Politics, Vote Bank, Caste, Personality Cult, Nepotism, Opportunism, Election, Political Parties, INTRODUCTION The Northern India and the Southern India have a multi party system, where there are numbers of regional parties who play an important role during the elections. In North India, the regional parties like Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party, Shiromani Akali Dal, Indian National Lokdal, Haryana Janhit Congress and several others had played and is still playing an important role in the state politics as well as in the national politics. Whereas in the South India, parties like Telgu Desham Party, All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIDMK) Dravida Munnetra Kazhgam (DMK), The United Democratic Front (UDF) led by the Indian National Congress and the Left Democratic Front (LDF) led by the Communist Party of India are in the mainstream politics.

  • A Paradigm Shift in the Politics of State: the Rise of BJP in Haryana
    www.ijcrt.org © 2020 IJCRT | Volume 8, Issue 6 June 2020 | ISSN: 2320-2882 A Paradigm Shift in the Politics of State: The Rise of BJP in Haryana Dr. Amrit Kaur Assistant Professor Department of Political Science Dyal Singh College, Karnal The unprecedented success of Bharatiya Janata Party in the 2014 parliamentary elections has brought a paradigm shift in India’s electoral politics. The party achieved an absolute majority in Lok Sabha on its own. Haryana is one of the states of North-Western region where it did exceedingly well by winning seven out of the eight seats that it had contested and by securing 34.7 percent votes while its vote share was merely 12.1 percent in 2009. However, its alliance partner Haryana Janhit Congress lost the two seats contested by it to the Indian National Lok Dal and its vote share declined from 10.2 percent in 2009 to 6.1 percent in 2014. The INLD won two out of the ten seats that it contested and its vote share also increased to 24.4 percent-a gain of 8.72 percent in comparison with the last Lok Sabha Election1. The Congress could win only one out of the ten seats in which it had entered into fray. It could retain only Rohtak seat from where Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda’s son Deepender Singh won it for the third consecutive term. This has been the only consolation for the party in Haryana. Besides, there was a decline of 18.56 percent in the support base for the Congress as its poll percentage dwindled from 41.46 in 2009 to 22.9 percent in 2014.

    lex-lexicon.com Volume I, Issue I Lex Lexicon Journal ANTI-DEFECTION LAW: LACUNAE AND SOLUTION By- Tanya Jaiswal ABSTRACT From Arunachal Pradesh in the east to Goa in the west, from Uttarakhand in the north to Karnataka in the south and most recently Rajasthan has seen the problems of political defection and rise of resort politics. Till 1967, Indian Politics experienced the single party dominance with the slogan of “Indira is India and India is Indira”1, then why and how did the anti-defection law come into the picture? I have discussed various provision provided under Xth schedule of the Indian Constitution. Further, the article throws light on the provisions related to exemption from disqualification, the concept of voluntarily giving up one’s membership, the role of the Speaker of the house and time limit to decide defection matters. Recommendations of various committees have been examined and focus on how to ratify the present loopholes in the Anti-defection law. Then the article further discusses the impediments in the journey of Anti-defection law along with possible solutions. The Supreme Court held that “Voice of Dissents cannot be suppressed in a democracy”2 over the petition filed by the Speaker of Rajasthan legislative assembly on challenging the Court order3 to bar him from conducting defection proceedings against “Sachin Pilot and 18 other rebel 1Indira is India and India is Indira ,OutlookIndia (Oct. 28,2020, 18:20 PM) https://magazine.outlookindia.com/story/indira-is-indiaindia-is-indira-jps-crusade/204064 2 Ashutosh Tripathi, Mini-win for Sachin Pilot, Hindustan Times (Aug.
