Target Prelims 26- Current Affair Marathon Sep 2025 [ENG] #upsc #ssc #bpsc #uppsc

Welcome to Simplified UPSC by पठति पठत: पठन्ति! In this comprehensive discussion, we'll dive deep into the most critical current affairs shaping India's socio-political and economic landscape for the UPSC CSE. This session provides Mains-oriented analysis of judicial policy, technological innovation, and infrastructural challenges. We begin by examining the delicate balance of fundamental rights, focusing on the Supreme Court's endorsement of judicial experimentalism, such as the cooling period for IPC Section 498A (now BNS Sec 85), and the constitutional risks inherent in the proposed 130th Amendment Bill regarding ministerial accountability. We analyze the perennial debate over the 50% reservation ceiling and the application of the Creamy Layer principle to SC/STs. Next, we navigate the digital frontier, reviewing judicial responses to AI-driven threats like deepfakes and voice cloning (protecting personality rights under Article 21). We contrast this with the success of digital public goods, specifically Andhra Pradesh’s Manamitra model, which uses WhatsApp for seamless, transparent service delivery. The discussion pivots to the Green Energy Paradox, analyzing the 44 GW of stranded renewable capacity due to persistent financial woes in Discoms. We explore India's forward-looking strategy for resource security, highlighting the ₹1500 Cr Critical Mineral Recycling Scheme. Finally, we celebrate the engineering triumph of the Barabi Sairang Railway Line, a pivotal infrastructure project for the Act East Policy, and discuss the imperative of recognizing cooling as a public health right.

Key topics include the Supreme Court's use of judicial experimentalism (e.g., the 498A cooling period) versus the risks of bypassing due process (130th Amendment Bill), and the constitutional debate over the 50% reservation ceiling and the Creamy Layer concept. We examine the impact of AI on personality rights and voice cloning, juxtaposed with the success of technological leapfrogging in governance (AP's Manamitra WhatsApp model). Finally, we cover the Green Energy Paradox (44 GW stranded capacity), the strategic shift towards Critical Mineral recycling, and the engineering marvel of the Barabi Sairang Railway Line. ⏰ TIMESTAMPS ⏰ 01:17 - Judicial Experimentalism: SC & the 498A Cooling Period 01:58 - The Debate on Misuse & Judicial Intervention 03:19 - Constitutional Critique: Judicial Legislating vs. Legislative Vacuum 04:54 - 130th Amendment Bill: Ministerial Accountability vs. Due Process Risk 05:45 - The Risks of Automatic Removal: Due Process & Political Manipulation 07:05 - Reservation Quota: 50% Ceiling and Creamy Layer Debate 08:26 - Indra Sawhney Case & Breach in Extraordinary Circumstances 09:55 - Personality Rights in the Digital Age: AI Deepfakes & Voice Cloning 10:33 - Legal Fragmentation: Copyright, Trademarks, and Tort of Passing Off 12:45 - Technological Leapfrogging: Manamitra WhatsApp Governance Model 14:22 - Hurdles to National Scale: Cyber Security and Legal Backing 15:39 - DeFi's Regulatory Vacuum: Anonymity and Terror Financing Risk 16:24 - The Green Energy Paradox: Stranded 44 GW Capacity 17:00 - Discom Financial Distress: The Policy Failure 18:05 - Cooling as a Public Health Right: HAPs and Passive Cooling 19:37 - Strategic Resource Security: Critical Mineral Recycling Scheme 20:59 - Infrastructure Marvel: Barabi Sairang Railway Line (Mizoram) 22:13 - Cosmic Mystery: Hubble Tension and Mira Variables 23:51 - Heritage & History: Sarnath, Ashoka's Lion Capital 25:34 - Global Control: Wassenaar Arrangement & Digital Technology #UPSC2025 #CurrentAffairs #UPSC #IAS #GS2 #GS3 #IndianPolity #JudicialActivism #SupremeCourt #ConstitutionofIndia #Article498A #DomesticViolence #ReservationPolicy #CreamyLayer #EWS #AIandLaw #Deepfakes #DigitalIndia #WhatsAppGovernance #Manamitra #AndhraPradesh #GreenEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Discoms #CriticalMinerals #Lithium #CircularEconomy #BarabiSairang #MizoramRail #ActEastPolicy #CoolingActionPlan #Heatwave #PublicHealth #WassenaarArrangement #ExportControls #HubbleTension #MiraVariables #Astronomy #IndianHistory #Sarnath #AshokaPillar #VrindavaniVastra #DeFi #FinancialInclusion #UPSCPreparation #IASExam #CivilServices #SimplifiedUPSC #MonthlyReview #GSNotes
