font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">The joint statement called the Delhi Declaration is newsworthy because of the fractured international order and power struggles between India and the United States with China or the U.S. with Russia.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">Despite the absence of China\u2019s President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the summit, India still got their agreement for the declaration which sums up the achievement. Substantially speaking, the statement is pareve (the Hebrew word for characterless things; read banal here) as it does not name Russia for aggression against Ukraine; but it does evoke the United Nations charter and principles of territorial sovereignty.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17849 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2-1-300x198.jpg\" alt=\"Daily Current Affairs 25 Sep 2023 | GS | Sociology UPSC | Triumph IAS\" width=\"495\" height=\"327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2-1-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2-1-1024x676.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2-1-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2-1-768x507.jpg 768w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2-1-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2-1.jpg 1296w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">An Indian official revealed the recipe for this over\u00ad applauded collective statement: \u201cIndia needed a text that had something for everyone, so that each member can go back with a win.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the boldest outcome, and unanticipated by many, was the announcement of the economic corridor (the <\/span><b>\u201c<\/b><b>India\u00ad Middle East \u00adEurope Economic Corridor\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), of a rail \u00adship route, to transport goods to Europe from India via the United Arab Emirates \u00adSaudi Arabia \u00adJordan \u00adIsrael<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">In its report on the <a href=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/the-role-of-india-in-shaping-the-new-world-order\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">G\u00ad20<\/a>, Arab News found that \u2018India\u2019s G20 leaders\u2019 summit had an unprecedented Middle Eastern Presence\u2019. India \u2018set a precedent in G20 history by inviting the most Middle Eastern countries ever to take part as guests in the group\u2019s key summit\u2019, and one wonders why Israel, India\u2019s strategic partner also from the region, was not given such an invitation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">It is all the more perplexing when the economic corridor was to be announced at the same summit and Israel is a part of the plan. Mr. Modi and Mr. Netanyahu share a good friendship. Perhaps factors such as a meet between Saudi Arabia\u2019s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Mr. Netanyahu may have been impossible unless there was diplomatic normalisation.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">Saudi Arabia is willing to end the diplomatic boycott of Israel.

Currently, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Saudi Arabia, in partnership with the Arab League and the European Union, has joined forces with Egypt and Jordan to launch a \u2018Peace Day Effort\u2019 aimed at incentivising Israelis and Palestinian leaders to compromise.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">Israel Palestine peace is a very challenging aim and given the rise of extremism on both sides, it appears all the more impossible.

Equally significant is the carving out of the boundaries of electoral constituencies, an issue that has implications for adequate representation of voters\u2019 interests as well as the number of members from each State who find space in the <a href=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/related-parliamentary-standing-committees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Parliament<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">Since the 1970s, there has been no change in the number of Lok Sabha seats. The Constitution (Forty \u00adSecond Amendment) Act, 1976 froze the delimitation of Lok Sabha constituencies as per the Census of 1971, up to the Census which was to be conducted in 2001. However, in 2001, the day of reckoning was pushed further to 2026.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">This was done through an amendment to Article 82 by the Constitution (Eighty \u00adFourth Amendment) Act. While the boundaries of electoral constituencies were redrawn in 2002, there was no change in the number of seats in the Lok Sabha.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">Article 81 of the Constitution says that each State gets seats in the Lok Sabha in proportion to its population. The freeze on delimitation effected in 1976 was to allay the concerns of States which took a lead in population control and which were faced with the prospect of reduction of their number of seats in the Lok Sabha.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">The exercise of delimitation also implicates the constitutional values of federalism and representation of States as consolidated units.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">Given this context, the question of delimitation necessarily has serious implications for both the individual voter as well as the States. The southern States run the risk of losing some of their seats in Parliament once the delimitation exercise is completed based on current population figures.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">The new <a href=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/parliamentary-privileges-in-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Parliament<\/a> building appears ready to house over 800 MPs in the Lok Sabha. How these MPs will be spread out across India\u2019s electoral constituencies, and how many people each MP will represent, are questions that beg urgent answers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">The freeze in 1976 was necessitated by States\u2019 apprehensions embedded in the consequences of their population control measures and widely differing fertility rates. Such concerns hold good even today.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">The delimitation of constituencies will need answers to certain vexed questions. The first question might seem more logistical than anything else, where should the population figures come from to inform the exercise of delimitation? The 2021 Census was pushed courtesy of the COVID\u00ad19 pandemic, and the Union Home Minister has indicated that the next Census and<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\"><strong>Subsequent delimitation will be conducted after the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">Even more vexed are the qualitative concerns that will determine how boundaries of electoral constituencies will be redrawn. If done entirely in terms of proportion of population, the redrawing of constituencies would yield more seats to States in the north, given their higher population.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">The recently concluded delimitation in Assam, ahead of the 2024 Assembly elections, witnessed widespread concerns around how altering the boundaries of certain districts and renaming certain constituencies can have a potentially acute impact on the representation of specific communities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">That is all the indication needed to start a robust conversation around delimitation sooner than later, so that lifting of the freeze on allocation of Lok Sabha seats does not have to be pushed ahead further.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_the_rising_influence_of_ethnic_Indians_causes_frictions_in_India_Canada_ties\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\"><b>How the rising influence of ethnic Indians causes frictions in India \u00adCanada tie<\/b>s\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; color: #000000;\"><strong>(Current Affairs 25 Sep 2023 |Relevant for <b>GS paper-2<\/b>)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17851 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/14-3-300x300.png\" alt=\"Daily Current Affairs 25 Sep 2023 | GS | Sociology UPSC | Triumph IAS\" width=\"511\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/14-3-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/14-3-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/14-3-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/14-3-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/14-3.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 511px) 100vw, 511px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">On September 19, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated that his government is investigating possible links between the Indian government and the assassination of Khalistan Tiger Force chief Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada.

Questions such as &#8220;<strong><em>which optional subject is the best?<\/em><\/strong>&#8221; and &#8220;<strong><em>which optional subject is the most scoring?<\/em><\/strong>&#8221; frequently come to mind. Choosing the right optional subject, like choosing the <strong><em>best sociology optional teacher<\/em><\/strong>, is a subjective yet vital step that requires a thoughtful decision based on facts. A misstep in this crucial decision can indeed prove disastrous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 20px;\">Ever since the exam pattern was revamped in 2013, the UPSC has eliminated the need for a second optional subject. Now, candidates have to choose only one <strong>optional subject for the UPSC Mains<\/strong>, which has two papers of 250 marks each. One of the compelling choices for many has been the sociology optional. However, it&#8217;s strongly advised to decide on your optional subject for mains well ahead of time to get sufficient time to complete the syllabus. After all, most students score similarly in General Studies Papers; it&#8217;s the score in the optional subject &amp; essay that contributes significantly to the final selection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-size: 20px;\"><strong><em><span style=\"font-size: 36px;\">\u201c<\/span>A sound strategy does not rely solely on the popular<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-size: 20px;\"><strong><em>Opinion of toppers or famous YouTubers cum teachers.<span style=\"font-size: 36px;\">\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 20px;\">It requires understanding one&#8217;s ability, interest, and the relevance of the subject, not just for the exam but also for life in general. Hence, when selecting the best sociology teacher, one must consider the usefulness of <strong><em>sociology optional coaching<\/em><\/strong> in <strong>General Studies, Essay, and Personality Test.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 20px;\">The choice of the optional subject should be based on objective criteria, such as the nature, scope, and size of the syllabus, uniformity and stability in the question pattern, relevance of the syllabic content in daily life in society, and the availability of study material and guidance. For example, choosing the <strong><em>best sociology optional coaching<\/em><\/strong> can ensure access to top-quality study materials and experienced teachers. Always remember, the approach of the UPSC optional subject differs from your academic studies of subjects. Therefore, before settling for <strong><em>sociology optional<\/em><\/strong>, you need to analyze the syllabus, previous years&#8217; pattern, subject requirements (be it ideal, visionary, numerical, conceptual theoretical), and your comfort level with the subject.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 20px;\">This decision marks a critical point in your <strong><em>UPSC &#8211; CSE journey<\/em><\/strong>, potentially determining your success in a career in IAS\/Civil Services. Therefore, it&#8217;s crucial to choose wisely, whether it&#8217;s the optional subject or the <strong><em>best sociology optional teacher<\/em><\/strong>. Always base your decision on accurate facts, and never let your emotional biases guide your choices. After all, the search for the <strong><em>best sociology optional coaching<\/em><\/strong> is about finding the perfect fit for your unique academic needs and aspirations.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kt3VeKYqoSs?t=54s\" width=\"350\" height=\"196\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\"><sup><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dL85EHfcitw?t=17s\" width=\"350\" height=\"196\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/sup><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tJcm9G2RwVE\" width=\"350\" height=\"196\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YXsRAVmvsCE?t=1s\" width=\"350\" height=\"196\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">To master these intricacies and fare well in the <strong>Sociology Optional Syllabus<\/strong>, aspiring sociologists might benefit from guidance by the <strong>Best Sociology Optional Teacher<\/strong> and participation in the <strong>Best Sociology Optional Coaching<\/strong>.
