(JICA’s supporting project) will act as a huge social and psychological change act -- it changes the mindset of Indians, and shares the art of excellence, safety, punctuality and perfection. Donald Keene, US Professor at Columbia University, announced his decision to become a Japanese citizen. He said, “If any civilisation has constantly suffered tragedies and always bounced back, it is Japan. It is because they believe in discipline, team work and perfection. I want to live with these people. I want to die with these people.” It is this uniqueness which Japan brings to India (through JICA’s project). It can catalyse Indian to transform itself. by Mr Amitabh Kant.

    Daily Current Affairs Switzerland: People voted in favour of banning full face coverings in public places In Switzerland, people have voted in favour of banning full face coverings in public places. Dubbed as ‘burqa ban’ by media and campaigners, the proposal was put into referendum after years of debate in the country following similar bans in some European countries. Nearly 51.2 per cent of voters have supported the proposal. The result means nobody in the country can cover their face completely in public whether in shops or in the open across the country except in places of worship or for health and safety reasons. European countries including France, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria and Denmark have already banned full face coverings. Libya PM urges parliament to vote for new cabinet Libya’s Prime Minister-designate Abdulhamid Dbeibeh urged lawmakers to vote for his new unity government, a crucial step toward December elections and stability in the country. The oil-rich African nation descended into chaos after dictator Muammar Gaddafi was killed in 2011. A UN-supervised process aims to unite the country after an October ceasefire between forces loyal to two rival administrations, each backed by foreign powers, based in the east and west of the country. Daily Current Affairs Made in India COVID vaccines reached Mozambique, Nicaragua Under the Vaccine Maitri initiative of the Government of India, two nations have received the Made in India Covid-19 Vaccines.

  • Remove the Wedges in India-Bangladesh Ties
    REMOVE THE WEDGES IN INDIA-BANGLADESH TIES sanskritiias.com/current-affairs/remove-the-wedges-in-india-bangladesh-ties (Mains GS 2: India and its neighborhood- relations & Bilateral, regional and global groupings and agreements involving India and/or affecting India’s interests) Context: The friendship between India and Bangladesh is historic, evolving over the last 50 years. India’s political, diplomatic, military and humanitarian support during Bangladesh’s Liberation War played an important role towards Bangladesh’s independence. Nearly 3,900 Indian soldiers gave up their lives and an estimated 10 million Bangladeshi refugees took shelter in India. Now it is about cooperation: Post-Independence, the India-Bangladesh relationship has oscillated as Bangladesh passed through different regimes. The relationship remained cordial until the assassination of Bangladesh’s founding President Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in August 15, 1975, followed by a period of military rule and the rise of General Ziaur Rahman who became President and also assassinated in 1981. Relations thawed again between 1982-1991 when a military-led government by General H.M. Ershad ruled the country. Since Bangladesh’s return to parliamentary democracy in 1991, relations have gone through highs and lows. However, in the last decade, India-Bangladesh relations have warmed up, entering a new era of cooperation, and moving beyond historical and cultural ties to become more assimilated in the areas of trade, connectivity, energy, and defence. Peaceful borders: 1/5 Bangladesh and India have achieved the rare feat of solving their border issues peacefully by ratifying the historic Land Boundary Agreement in 2015, where enclaves were swapped allowing inhabitants to choose their country of residence and become citizens of either India or Bangladesh.
