  • TLP Phase I – GS 4 Compilation 2018
    TLP Phase I – GS 4 Compilation 2018 1. Should a person be concerned about the consequences if his actions are ethical? Critically comment. Approach: The question deals with a very old question between which approach is correct – means or end. You need to explain what an ethical action is and then analyse whether one should think about the consequences or the action. Body: There are two approaches that deal with this question. Utilitarian School of thought – According to this approach result is more important than the action. Benefits should be maximized. So even if you take an unethical step but if the net result is positive, the action will be seen as good. For example, killing your neighbour who you were finding very irritating, is an unethical action. But if that person turned out to be a foreign spy, living under disguise, the net result will be good. According to utilitarian theory your action will be justified. Deontological school of thought – According to this ideology, means are more important than the result. This is generally the philosophy of most of the organized religions. Bhagwad Geeta says that your duty is important rather than the consequences. According to Mahatma Gandhi also, wrong means cannot lead to a right end. Now, in the answers, some of you have mentioned both the approaches and some of you have framed your answer with one approach. Note: You need to understand that in GS paper IV, no approach is incorrect if you are able to back it up by good examples. But you also need to remember, that this is an ethics paper.

  • Discontent, Conflict, Social Resistance and Violence at Non-Metallic Mining Frontiers in India
    Ecology, Economy and Society–the INSEE Journal 2 (1): 31–42, January 2019 SPECIAL SECTION: Ecological Distribution Conflicts in India Discontent, Conflict, Social Resistance and Violence at Non-metallic Mining Frontiers in India Arpita Bisht Abstract: The twenty-first century is witnessing increased extraction of natural resources across the globe, which includes biomass, metal ores and tailings, fossil energy carriers, and industrial and construction materials. Increasing extraction of resources is largely a result of either intensification of extractive operations in existing extractive locations, or as a result of expansion of frontiers of resource extraction to new geospatial locations across the world. Amongst these, extraction of construction materials has been the highest in the last century. This article analyses conflicts surrounding such minerals which are non-metallic, low value, and extracted to a large degree by local or regional extractive agents, with a special focus on the social violence exerted in such conflicts. Keywords: sand mining, ecological distribution conflicts, EJAtlas, extractivism, social violence 1. INTRODUCTION In the twenty-first century, extraction of natural resources has increased all across the world. Between 1900 and 2005, total global raw material consumption—which includes biomass, metal ores and tailings, fossil energy carriers, and industrial and construction materials—saw a massive increase from 7,117 million tons to 59,474 million tons (Krausmann et al. 2009). Among these resource groups, extraction of construction materials witnessed the maximum increase growing by a factor of 34, closely followed by ores and industrial minerals which increased by a factor of 27 (Krausmann et al. 2009). This increase in extraction of construction minerals, such as sand and gravel, appears as a certain fact although it is The Energy Resource Institute (TERI), Darbari Seth Block, IHC Complex, Lodhi Road, New Delhi 110 003, India; [email protected] Copyright © Bisht 2019.

IIMA is committed to maintain academic freedom. The opinion(s), view(s) and conclusion(s) expressed in the working paper are those of the authors and not that of IIMA. INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT AHMEDABAD-380 015 INDIA INDIAN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE (IAS) AND CRONY CAPITALISM: A REVIEW PAPER Vishal Gupta Organizational Behavior Area Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad Email Id: [email protected] Abstract According to international statistics, India is reckoned to be among the most corrupt countries of the world. One of the ways in which corruption can occur at the point of public service delivery is through payment of bribes to access or expedite these services. Other less overt, but equally damaging, form of corruption that has an impact on people is when decisions to allocate public resources are distorted by money, power, access, connections or some combination of the above – also known as crony capitalism. One of the significant contributors to crony capitalism in India is considered to be the Indian Administrative Services (IAS). Time and again, questions have been raised about the imperviousness, wooden-headedness, obstructiveness, rigidity, and rule- and procedure- bound attitude of the bureaucracy.
